Today's Agent Skill: Social Media Caption Batch Generator
What It Does
Marketing consistently on social media is one of the hardest habits for small business owners to maintain — not because you lack ideas, but because turning ideas into finished captions takes time you don't have. This skill lets your AI agent generate a full week of platform-ready social posts from a simple list of topics or updates you jot down in minutes.
How It Works
The agent takes a bullet list of topics, promotions, or business updates and generates platform-tailored captions for Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn — each with the right tone, character count, and hashtag set for that platform. It outputs a formatted table so you can review, pick, and schedule your posts in under five minutes.
How to Deploy It
Save the SKILL.md to your agent's skills folder and invoke it by providing this week's talking points. Works immediately with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and Windsurf. For automated weekly posting, pair it with a scheduling tool like Buffer or Later.

## Description
Generate a week's worth of social media captions for Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn from a bullet-list of business topics or updates provided by the owner.
## Trigger
User provides a list of topics, promotions, events, or business updates for the week and asks for social media captions.
## Input
- topics: Array of plain-text bullet points (e.g., "summer sale starts Monday", "new menu item: grilled peach salad", "team milestone: 500 5-star reviews")
- business_name: Optional business name to include naturally in posts
- tone: Optional preferred tone (default: "friendly and professional")
## Steps
1. For each topic, write one caption per platform: Facebook (max 150 words, conversational), Instagram (max 80 words, punchy, 5–10 hashtags), LinkedIn (max 100 words, professional, 2–3 hashtags).
2. Ensure each caption includes a clear call to action (visit us, comment below, share with a friend, stop by this week).
3. Vary the opening phrase for each platform caption so none start the same way.
4. Apply the requested tone consistently across all captions.
5. Flag any topic too vague to write a post from and suggest a clarifying question for the user.
