# Rewrite an X thread as a LinkedIn post

> Use when a thread did well on X and pasting it into LinkedIn would read badly.

## Fill in before running

- `{{THREAD_TEXT}}`
- `{{AUDIENCE}}`
- `{{WORD_COUNT}}`

## Prompt

```
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.
```

## Getting a better result

- Always check the [ADDED] line - it is the one place the model can quietly invent something.
- If the thread was mostly a list, the LinkedIn version should argue one item of it properly instead.
- Wait a week between platforms; overlapping audiences notice same-day duplicates.
