Produces 1-3 variants in the user's voice, picks a reaction, and schedules via Publora on approval. Not for replying to existing comments (use linkedin-reply-handler).

LinkedIn Comment Drafter

Produce conversation-provoking comments on any LinkedIn post from a URL. The skill targets the patterns that actually got author replies in 2026 testing and avoids the thesis-restatement patterns that die with zero engagement.

When to use

User pastes a LinkedIn post URL and says "comment on this", "draft me a comment", "engage with this post"
User wants to be among the first 3 commenters on a viral post
User wants to reply to a closing question the author asked

Input

A LinkedIn post URL in any of the standard shapes (see the top-level SKILL.md URL table).

Output

1-3 draft comment variants, each with:

200-350 char body, 1-2 short paragraphs, no em dashes, no hashtags
Assigned reaction type: LIKE, PRAISE, EMPATHY, INTEREST, APPRECIATION, or ENTERTAINMENT
Pattern label (which of the 7 templates was used)
Estimated engagement fit based on what the author typically responds to

Then waits for user approval. On "post", calls Publora to react + comment.

Steps

Parse the URL. Use lib.url_parser.parse_linkedin_url to get post_urn and, if present, the post's activity ID.
Fetch the post body. If APIFY_TOKEN is set, call lib.ApifyClient.fetch_post(url) for the post body and fetch_post_comments(post_id=..., max_items=10) for the top existing comments (so your draft doesn't duplicate an existing take). Both actors are no-cookies and cost roughly $0.001 + $0.005 per call on the Apify free tier. If APIFY_TOKEN is not set, ask the user to paste the post text and (optionally) top comments.
Detect the author's closing question. If the post ends with a "?" line, the Answer-the-Closing-Question template usually wins.
Draft comment variants. Pick 2-3 templates from references/comment-templates.md that fit the post's topic. Fill them with user-voice phrasing.
Run the humanizer pass. Strip em dashes, AI vocab, uniform sentence rhythm. Add a specific number or named entity if missing.
Present drafts for approval using lib.approval.render_approval_card. Include: target URL, each variant, reaction suggestion, a one-line "why this template fits".
On approval. Call lib.publish(kind="comment", draft_text=<approved>, target_url=<post_url>, post_urn=<urn>, platform_id=<id>, reaction_type=<chosen>). The wrapper handles Publora / manual / diy routing.

Templates (see `references/comment-templates.md` for full list)

T1 Missing-Piece (highest hit rate): [Name] the [their-thesis] argument misses one piece.. [what-moved]. when [their-condition], the real differentiator is [specific-skill], not [their-focus].
T2 Answer-the-Closing-Question: direct answer + one concrete example + why it matters
T3 Data-First: half the [population] I see now [behavior]. the [old-assumption] broke around [date]. [new-rule].
T4 Practitioner Observation: when X the system does Y, when X' it does Y'. that's when [outcome] kicks in.
T5 Counter-with-Concession: agree on point 1, push back on point 2 with one rooted reason
T6 Quotable-Reframe: one line under 12 words + expansion
T7 Ask-a-Sharper-Question: the harder version of this question is..

Hard rules

Global voice rules: see root SKILL.md §Voice rules. Additional skill-specific rules:

200-350 chars. Don't exceed.
Always capitalize the author's name when addressing them by first name.
No hashtags, no emoji unless the post itself uses them.
No mention of the user's own product by name. Describe what they do instead.
Never paste generic praise ("Great post!", "This.", "100%"). The skill refuses.
Skip the comment if the post is sponsored, a generic listicle, or the author has already deleted it.

Example invocation

User: "Comment on this: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/_activity-"

Skill: [parses URL, fetches post, detects closing question "Seen this in your market?", drafts 3 variants]

Skill returns: T2 Answer-the-Closing-Question variant as primary pick, with T1 Missing-Piece as backup, reaction INTEREST, one-line rationale, and approval prompt.
