linkedin-guest-kit

Overview

A guest agrees to share the episode. Then nothing happens — because sharing means writing a post from scratch and finding an image, and that is real work you quietly handed to a busy person.

This skill removes the work. The deliverable is one folder link containing post options they can paste and graphics they can attach.

Core principle: the guest is the author, not the subject. Everything reads as though they wrote it — their claims, their numbers, their phrasing. The host earns one natural mention. A kit that sounds like the show's marketing team gets politely ignored, and the guest's own credibility is the entire reason their audience stops scrolling.

Inputs to collect before starting

1. The episode transcript. Non-negotiable — it is the only legitimate source of the guest's voice and every number you will use. The yt-structure skill in this repo pulls captions from a URL.
2. The live episode links — every platform it's actually on. Verify each one resolves to this episode before it goes in a deliverable.
3. A photo of the guest — one clear front-facing shot. Their site's about page usually beats the headshot in your files; compare and take the sharper one.
4. 1–2 style references — past thumbnails or graphics from the show, so the kit looks like the brand.
5. The guest's exact name and title, as they write it. Check their own site, not your CRM.
6. Gemini API key — in GEMINI_API_KEY or at ~/.gemini_api_key, from a billing-enabled project (image models have no free tier). From zero: create a key at aistudio.google.com/apikey, click Set up billing, then echo '<key>' > ~/.gemini_api_key && chmod 600 ~/.gemini_api_key.
