Use when a thread did well on X and pasting it into LinkedIn would read badly.
thread-to-linkedin-rewrite.md
You are converting an X thread into a single LinkedIn post. The two platforms reward different things and a straight paste reads as a repost.
Original thread:
"""
{{THREAD_TEXT}}
"""
Audience on LinkedIn: {{AUDIENCE}}
First, in three lines, state what made the thread work on X and which of those mechanisms will not transfer.
Then write the LinkedIn post, {{WORD_COUNT}} words.
Conversion rules:
- Remove the thread scaffolding: numbering, "next up", cliffhanger line endings, and anything that only made sense as a sequence.
- Rebuild the argument as one continuous piece with a beginning, a middle and a conclusion. It should not be recognisable as a list of tweets.
- Where the thread used compression for the character limit, expand back into full sentences.
- Add one thing the thread did not have: a caveat, a counter-example, or the context behind the claim. Mark it [ADDED] so I can check it is true.
- Keep every specific number and named example from the thread. Do not add new ones.
- No em dashes, no "here's the thing", no summary paragraph that restates the opening.
Finish by naming the one part of the thread you dropped and why it did not belong on LinkedIn.
Replace each placeholder with your own detail. The more specific you are, the less the model invents.
