{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Which Claude model should I use for these LinkedIn prompts?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Claude Sonnet 4.5 handles prompts 1-9 — they are structured rewrites with explicit constraints. Use Opus 4.7 on prompt #10 only, where the voice signature extraction benefits from deeper synthesis."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Won't using AI to write LinkedIn posts hurt my reach?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Generic AI output hurts reach because it pattern-matches to template posts. These prompts encode rules — banned buzzwords, voice anchors, specificity requirements — that push against the model's default register and produce drafts that read like sharp human writing."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Do I need to run all ten prompts on every post?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "No. The 20-minute chain covers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 for original drafts. Prompts 8 and 9 are only for repurposing. For a quick pass, run prompts 1, 3, and 6 — hook, mobile format, CTA."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How do I supply the voice sample for prompt #2 and prompt #10?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Paste 3-10 paragraphs from any low-stakes source the author writes in their natural voice: Slack messages, transcribed voice memos, internal docs. The point is unedited register, not polish."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What if my draft is so weak that the model can't rescue it?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Prompts 1 and 4 will flag a draft as structurally unworkable. When that happens, cut the draft and start from prompt #5 with a specific event from the past week. Most operator-grade posts begin with the event, not the thesis."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How do I avoid the AI-detector pattern?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The biggest tell is sentence-length uniformity. Prompt #10 includes a sentence_length_variance check that catches this. The other tell is the banned phrases list in prompt #2 — keep it updated as new defaults emerge."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Are the before/after samples from real posts?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The before drafts are composites of common low-performing patterns. The after rewrites are illustrative outputs of running these prompts as written; structure is representative, specific numbers are illustrative."
