We're building this to be fully self-contained in Claude. Everything gets saved as a file in your Cowork workspace — calendar, expanded content, monthly rerun prompts. Claude can read it back next month, update it automatically, and run the whole system as a scheduled task.
Phase 5 shows you how to save everything and set up the automation. If you're in Cowork, you're about to see what it actually means for Claude to do the work — not just generate text you have to paste somewhere else.
Add anything Claude can't know from your answers alone. Your specific domain niche. The type of expertise you've built over years — and who exactly your audience is (job titles, not just "senior people"). Content styles you've tried before or writers you admire. The more you give it, the less generic the output.
Pick your content approach before running Prompt 1. You can mix approaches across weeks, but commit to one for your first post. Your reflection answers already point toward which fits — "comfortable sharing" → story or insight; "selective" → how-to or insight; "private" → how-to or contrarian.
💡
Best for: experts, managers, practitioners
▶
Use this when you have a genuine observation — something you've seen repeatedly that others don't talk about. Claude will generate 5 specific opinion angles grounded in your background and audience.
📖
Best for: career stories, pivots, hard lessons
▶
Use this when you have a specific moment — a decision, a failure, a conversation, a pivot — that changed how you think or work. Claude will build 5 story angles from your context, each with a different emotional entry point.
🛠️
Best for: specialists, operators, practitioners
▶
Use this when you have a specific, repeatable process that others in your field would genuinely want to steal. The key word is specific — not a framework, your actual steps.
⚡
Best for: thought leaders, senior practitioners
▶
Only use this if you have a view you'd actually argue for in a room with smart people who disagree. Claude will surface 5 contrarian angles from your context — ranked by how defensible and distinctive they are.

Pick the opinion angle you generated in Phase 3 — the one you feel most confident about. Paste it below and Claude turns it into every format in one shot.
This is where the leverage is. One strong opinion, properly context-engineered, becomes five or six distinct assets in under two minutes. You're not writing multiple pieces — you're translating one idea into different containers.
Run this once, then run it again for your next angle. You now have a repeatable multi-format workflow. Same prompt, different idea. This is the system you're taking home today.

The first draft will be directionally right. This prompt fixes the most common issues: too formal, too long, sounds like marketing copy instead of you.

You've already built Week 1 in full. Now use this prompt to generate strong opinion angles for the remaining weeks — so you have a real calendar, not just one post and a vague plan.
The goal of this prompt: Walk out of today with 4 weeks of specific, ready-to-develop angles. Not topics — angles. Each one should feel like something you could actually argue.
When you're ready to develop a week: Go back to Phase 3 and run the opinion-generation prompts on that week's angle. Then Phase 4 to expand it into formats. The workflow is identical — just a different idea each time.

This prompt saves your entire content system — calendar, Week 1 expansion, angles for Weeks 2–4 — as a structured markdown file in your Cowork workspace. Next month, Claude reads the file back and refreshes the whole thing automatically. No copying, no pasting, no managing a separate tool.
This is what MCPs actually mean in practice. Claude isn't just generating text — it's writing a file to your computer. Next month it reads that file back, sees what you built, and updates it automatically. You're not managing a document. You're running a system.
After saving: Claude will confirm the file path. That file lives on your computer. Open it anytime, edit it directly, or drag it back into Cowork next month — Claude reads the whole thing and picks up where you left off.

This prompt sequence runs your monthly content refresh automatically. Two options: set it up as a scheduled task in Claude Cowork (it triggers itself on a date you choose), or save it as a reusable prompt you run manually each month. Both take less than 5 minutes to set up.
Option A — Automation (Claude Cowork only): This prompt tells Claude to create a scheduled task that runs on the first Sunday of each month, reads your saved context file, and generates a fresh calendar. You approve the output; Claude saves the new file. You post — that's all you do.
Option B — Manual rerun (any Claude): No automation. Just copy the prompts below at the start of each month. Takes 20 minutes. Works in any version of Claude.
Block 30 minutes on the first Sunday of each month. 5 minutes to update your context. 20 minutes to run the prompts. Done until next month. The only work left is to actually post — which is a different kind of work.
Four sessions ago, you had a LinkedIn profile and a vague sense you should be doing something with it.
Today you have a complete personal brand infrastructure. That's not nothing — most people never build this. The tools exist. The time doesn't show up until you make it. You showed up four times and made it.

The 1:1 version of this work is completely different. I look at your actual LinkedIn, your actual network, your actual work — and we build something specific to you in 60 minutes. You've seen how I work. You know what to expect.
