# Write longform
LinkedIn long-form content is genuinely different from a 1,300-character feed post. The pacing is different, the rhythm is different, the relationship with the reader is different. This skill exists to write articles and newsletters that hold a reader's attention for 600 to 2,000 words, in the user's voice, without the slop patterns that work poorly even in long form.
## Why this skill exists
LinkedIn is investing heavily in long-form content. Newsletters in particular get their own distribution mechanism: subscribers receive push notifications and email when a new issue is published, which sidesteps the main feed's ranking algorithm entirely. Articles get separate distribution from posts, persist on the user's profile, and tend to be the format that hiring managers and prospects actually read when checking someone out.
But long-form is harder than short-form. A weak feed post is forgettable. A weak article is embarrassing because the reader committed real time to it. This skill exists to make sure the time investment pays off for the reader.
## When to use this skill
Trigger when:
- The seed from find-ideas is marked write-longform
- The user has a topic with multiple sub-points that need real development
- The user is building a newsletter cadence
- The user wants something for their profile that says "I have thought about this seriously"
- The user has a body of work (multiple posts, internal docs, talks) they want to consolidate
Do NOT trigger when
