About this skill
What is the LinkedIn Post?
The LinkedIn Post skill is the exact approach Okara’s LinkedIn Agent follows to write posts that perform on a professional feed. It packages how to hook in the first lines above "see more," write in a specific, human voice, and end with a prompt that drives comments, so your posts earn engagement instead of quiet impressions.
It’s written as a SKILL.md, a plain-language instruction format that people and AI agents can both follow. Read it to understand what LinkedIn actually rewards, adapt it for a founder or brand voice, or let the LinkedIn Agent apply it every time you post.
Downloading the instructions is free with an Okara account. Running the skill continuously — posting consistently in your voice and building a professional audience over time — is part of the LinkedIn Agent.
This lines up with what engagement-benchmark research on LinkedIn actually shows: a steady 3–5 times a week posting cadence consistently outperforms posting daily, and a post’s engagement in its first hour — how fast the early likes and comments arrive — disproportionately determines how far it ultimately travels. The platform rewards consistency and a strong early signal over raw volume, which is exactly why this skill spends its effort on the above-the-fold hook and replying fast, not on posting more often.
Example
See it in action
You ask: “Help me post about hitting 10,000 customers without it sounding like a press release.”
Agent does: Open above the fold with the human part, not the milestone: "Three years ago I emailed 200 people and 4 replied. Today we crossed 10,000 customers. Here’s what actually changed." Then tell it in first person with short lines and real specifics — the low moment, the one decision that mattered, the lesson. Keep the "we’re thrilled to announce" energy out of it. Put any link in the first comment, and end with a question that invites others to share their own turning point, so the comments do the reach for you.

How it works
From input to output
- 1
You provide the insight or story
Share the lesson, story, or update and who you want it to reach — the more specific, the better.

Okara writes the hook
The LinkedIn Agent leads with the two or three lines that show above "see more" and decide whether the post is read.
- 3
It shapes a human, useful post
You get a first-person post with LinkedIn whitespace that either teaches something or tells a genuine story — not a press release.
- 4
You post and start the conversation
The agent ends with a prompt that invites comments and keeps links in the first comment, because comments are what expand reach.
