14 Claude Prompts for LinkedIn Posts You Can Copy and Paste

Here are 4 of my past LinkedIn posts. Study the voice: sentence length, how I open, the words I never use, how formal I am, whether I use line breaks or emojis. Do not summarize them. Learn the voice, reply only "ready", then wait for my next request.

[paste 3 to 5 of your own posts]

I want to write a LinkedIn post about [topic]. Before drafting anything, give me 10 opening lines, each under 12 words. Mix these angles: a surprising number, a confession, a contrarian claim, a short question, and a "most people get this wrong" setup. No hashtags, no emojis. Number them.

Here is the first line of my post: "[your current opener]". It feels flat. Rewrite it 6 ways so the reader has to keep going. Keep my meaning, cut the throat-clearing, and move the most interesting word as early as possible. Add one line on why each version works.

Prompts that turn what you know into posts

Your best posts already live in your head as a lesson, a memory, an argument, or a number.

Turn this lesson into a LinkedIn story post: "[the lesson in one sentence]". Structure it as a short scene, then the turn, then the lesson, then one line the reader can use today. Under 150 words, first person, plain language. The lesson should feel earned by the story, not tacked on.

Use it when you have a takeaway but no story around it. Adapt by giving the real who, when, and what went wrong so the scene stays specific.

Here are rough notes from something that happened to me: [3 to 5 messy bullet points]. Draft a LinkedIn post from these in my voice. Keep the mess that makes it real: the specific numbers, the awkward moment, the thing I got wrong. Do not add fake drama or a neat moral. End on the honest takeaway.

Use it when a real experience should not read like a fable. Adapt by naming the emotional core so Claude does not smooth it away.

The common advice in my field is: "[widely repeated belief]". I disagree. Help me write a contrarian LinkedIn post arguing the other side. Steelman the popular view in one line first so I do not look lazy, then make my case with a concrete example. Confident, not rude, no strawmen. End with a question that invites disagreement.

Use it when you hold a real, defensible unpopular view. Adapt by feeding Claude your evidence so the argument stands on something.

Here is a finding from my own work: [the number or result, and how you got it]. Write a LinkedIn post that leads with the number, explains what surprised me, and gives the reader one thing to do differently. Do not invent extra statistics. If a claim needs a source I have not given you, flag it instead of filling it in.

Use it when you have a real result to share. Adapt by keeping the no-invented-statistics line.

Prompts for carousels and repurposing

One idea becomes a document post; one article becomes a week of posts.

I want a LinkedIn carousel about [topic] for [audience]. Give me a slide-by-slide outline: slide 1 is the hook, slides 2 to 7 each make one point in under 15 words, and slide 8 is a soft call to action. For every slide, write the on-slide text and a one-line note on the visual.

Use it when you want a document post but face empty slides. Adapt by setting the slide count and the one idea per slide.

Here is an article: [paste the text or key points]. Pull out the one idea most likely to resonate on LinkedIn and write a standalone post about it in my voice. Do not summarize the whole thing. Pick the sharpest angle and make it self-contained. Then suggest 2 more angles I could use for future posts.

Use it when you have long-form content and want several posts from it. Adapt by asking for the extra angles.

Prompts for engagement and replies

Reactions are cheap. Comments are the signal that drives LinkedIn engagement, and both prompts are built to earn them.

Write a short LinkedIn post that ends in a question my network will actually answer. Topic: [topic]. The question must be easy to answer from experience, specific enough to avoid one-word replies, and not something people feel tested by. Give me 3 versions with different questions, each under 80 words.

Use it when you want comments, not just likes. Adapt by aiming at a decision people have made, not an abstract opinion.

Someone commented this on my post: "[their comment]". My post was about [topic]. Draft 3 short replies in my voice that move the conversation forward: one that adds a detail, one that asks a genuine follow-up, and one that respectfully pushes back. Each under 30 words. No "thanks for sharing" filler.

Use it when a post takes off and you want replies that keep the thread alive. Adapt by answering the sharpest comments first, using our LinkedIn comment examples for the shape.

Prompts that make Claude sound less like AI

A model gives you a competent draft, plus the tells: even rhythm, hype words, lines that could sit under anyone's post. These three take them out.

Rewrite this post so it stops sounding like AI wrote it: [paste draft]. Remove hype words, vary the sentence length, cut any line that could sit under a different post unchanged, and delete filler transitions. Keep my contractions. Do not add new claims. Return only the rewrite.

Use it when a draft reads a little too smooth. Adapt by keeping a ban list of words you never say and pasting it in.

Rewrite this draft to match the voice sample I gave you earlier: [paste draft]. Match my average sentence length, my level of formality, and my vocabulary. If a line sounds more like you than me, flag it and suggest my version. The goal is that a colleague cannot tell a model was involved.

Use it when the draft is right but the voice is off. Adapt by keeping the setup voice sample in the same chat.

Act as a tough LinkedIn editor. Here is my draft: [paste]. Do not rewrite it yet. Tell me the weakest line, the line I should lead with instead, one thing that is still vague, and whether the ending earns a comment. Then give me a tightened version that is 20% shorter.

Use it when a post is fine but not sharp. Adapt by fixing the shorter length so Claude has to make real cuts.

What a prompt library can't do for you

Every prompt here gets you a draft, not a good post. What is true, what is worth saying, and what crosses a line stay with you. So does consistency: a model matches your voice in one chat and drifts in the next, which is why the voice sample and a saved Project matter more than any clever prompt.

Prompts also will not show up every day. Posting is half of LinkedIn; the rest is commenting where your buyers already read, a daily habit most people quit. For the mechanics, we wrote a full commenting strategy and an honest look at whether AI comments belong on LinkedIn.

That daily habit is what our own tool, Commenti, is built to carry: it watches the creators and keywords you pick and drafts comments in your tone, anchored to a specific line in each post, on your approval or on a schedule with caps and human-like pacing. We will be straight about the trade. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits third-party automation, ours included, so the caps and the approve mode reduce risk. Nothing erases it.

Prompts write the draft. Your voice, your judgment, and your consistency turn a folder of drafts into a following.
