LinkedIn Post Generator

Create professional LinkedIn posts from any content source with optional media attachment.

**Usage:** `$ARGUMENTS`

**Examples:**

/publisher:linkedin my-post                    # Auto-detect and attach blog diagrams
/publisher:linkedin my-post en                 # English with diagrams
/publisher:linkedin my-post en image.png       # Custom image attachment
/publisher:linkedin my-post ja report.pdf      # Japanese with custom PDF

**Process:**

1. **Parse Input Arguments**

• Content input (slug, file path, or URL)
• Optional language parameter (en/ja)
• Optional custom file path for attachment

2. **Universal Input Detection**

• **File path**: Read and parse (markdown, PDF, HTML, text, JSON)
• **URL**: Use WebFetch to retrieve content
• **Slug**: Search codebase for matching blog post

3. **Generate Professional LinkedIn Post**

• Use thought leadership tone for English
• Use professional business tone (敬語) for Japanese
• Extract key insights from actual content
• Include relevant hashtags (2-4 max)
• Add link to full article

4. **Handle Media Attachment**

• **Custom file**: Use specified image/PDF if provided
• **Auto-detect**: Find blog diagrams if available
• Supported formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, PDF

5. **Post via LinkedIn API** (using Bash + curl)

• Check for credentials in .env file
• Handle OAuth flow if needed
• **CRITICAL**: Escape LinkedIn Little Text Format reserved characters: `| { } @ [ ] ( ) < > # * _ ~`
• Upload media file and get asset URN
• Create draft post with commentary and media
• Open LinkedIn in browser for review

**LinkedIn API Authentication:** 1. Create LinkedIn app at https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps 2. Add credentials to .env:

   LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
   LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET=your_secret
   LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token (auto-generated on first use)

**Without API setup**: Command still generates the post content for manual copy-paste.

**Note**: Works in ANY repo type (Python, Rust, Go, etc.) - uses only bash and curl, no Node.js required.
