LinkedIn Thought Leadership System — Production Skill (Redirect)
Status: Merged into Framework
All content from this file has been integrated into the TL framework (00-05).
This file previously contained image specs, hook discipline, first line rules, Steve's DNA structural mandate, character/pronoun rules, and the Assumption Gap golden example — all developed during the Subtract/Add Equation campaign (Feb 2026).
As of March 2026, those learnings live in the canonical framework:
| Content | Now Lives In |
|---|---|
| Image system (quote card format, visual brand, anti-patterns) | 02-li-thought-leadership-terminology.md → Image System section |
| Hook discipline (behavioral recognition, what hooks do/don't do) | 01-li-thought-leadership-context.md → Hook Discipline section |
| First line rules (proof setup, under 10 words) | 01-li-thought-leadership-context.md → First Line section; 04-quality.md → First Line Quality |
| Steve's DNA (Worldview/Insight vs Proof/Math, short lines mandate) | 02-li-thought-leadership-terminology.md → Steve's DNA section |
| Character/pronoun rules (one scenario, establish before pronouns) | 02-li-thought-leadership-terminology.md → Characters and Examples section |
| Assumption Gap golden example (Math Post) | 03-li-thought-leadership-golden-examples.md → Example 4 |
| Image checklist | 04-li-thought-leadership-quality.md → Image Quality section |
| Image brief step in build process | 05-li-thought-leadership-output-skill.md → Step 1b |
