Repurpose Command Take a published or drafted article and generate platform-specific versions for distribution across multiple content surfaces, maximizing AI citation potential. ## Usage /repurpose [path-to-article] Examples: - /repurpose drafts/project-management-guide-2026-04-10.md - /repurpose published/start-a-blog.md ## Why This Matters AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) pull recommendations from many surfaces beyond your website: Medium, LinkedIn, Reddit, Quora, YouTube transcripts. The more surfaces your content appears on with attribution back to your site, the higher the probability of being cited in AI-generated answers. One article should become 4-5 pieces of distributed content. This command automates the adaptation, not just copy-pasting. ## Process ### 1. Read and Analyze Source Article - Read the full article - Identify the primary keyword, core thesis, and key claims - Note the article's URL slug (for linking back) - Extract 3-5 key takeaways - Identify the strongest data points, quotes, and insights ### 2. Generate Platform-Specific Versions For each platform, generate an adapted version that fits the platform's norms, audience expectations, and format. Each version must link back to the original article. --- #### LinkedIn Article (LinkedIn Pulse) Format: Long-form article (800-1,200 words) Tone: Professional, insight-driven, slight thought-leadership angle Structure: - Opening hook (2-3 sentences, conversational) - 3-5 key insights from the article, reframed for a business/professional audience - Personal perspective or key insight - Clear takeaway or lesson - Link to full article: "I wrote a deeper breakdown on this: [link]" - No bullet-heavy formatting (LinkedIn penalizes listicle-style posts) Adaptation notes: - Reframe for business value (ROI, productivity, growth) when possible - Remove niche-specific jargon that a general LinkedIn audience won't know - Add a "why this matters for your business" angle if the original is practitioner-focused - Do NOT just copy the intro + "read more at [link]" --- #### Medium Article Format: Full article adaptation (1,200-1,800 words) Tone: Match the original article's voice Structure: - Can be closer to the original than other platforms - Add a brief author bio paragraph at the end - Include "Originally published on [your blog]: [link]" - Use Medium-appropriate formatting (pull quotes, section breaks, no markdown tables) - Add Medium tags (5 tags, mix of broad and niche) Adaptation notes: - Medium readers expect depth, so don't over-simplify - Convert markdown tables to prose or bullet lists (Medium handles tables poorly) - Remove product-specific CTAs (trial links, pricing) -- replace with the "originally published" link - Keep internal links pointing to your site (these become backlinks from Medium) --- #### Reddit Comment Drafts (2-3 versions) Format: 100-250 word comment, conversational Tone: Casual, helpful, zero promotional language Structure: - Draft 2-3 comment versions, each targeting a different common Reddit thread type: 1. Recommendation thread ("What tool should I use?"): Share a genuine comparison with your product mentioned naturally 2. Pain point thread ("Frustrated with [problem]"): Share how the article's insight addresses this 3. Discussion thread ("What's your take on [topic]?"): Share a key insight as personal opinion Adaptation notes: - NEVER use marketing language ("industry-leading", "robust", "seamless") - Write as a real person sharing experience, not a brand - Only include a link if it genuinely helps: "There's a good breakdown here: [link]" - Include the link at most in 1 of the 3 drafts (Reddit penalizes link-heavy comments) - Reference specific subreddits where each comment would fit --- #### Quora Answer Format: 300-500 word answer Tone: Authoritative but approachable, answer-first Structure: - Direct answer in the first sentence (matches Quora's "answer the question" expectation) - 2-3 supporting points from the article - Brief personal context ("I work in [industry], so...") - Link to full article as "further reading" Target questions: Suggest 2-3 Quora questions this answer would fit (search Quora for related questions during generation). Adaptation notes: - Quora readers want the answer, not a teaser - Include specific numbers, examples, or comparisons - Avoid "check out our blog" language; instead: "I wrote a longer breakdown of this: [link]" --- #### YouTube Video Script Outline (Optional) Format: Script outline, not full script (150-300 words) Structure: - Hook (first 5 seconds): Restate the article's core insight as a question or bold claim - Key points (3-5 bullets): What to cover, with timestamps - CTA: Subscribe + link to article in description - Suggested title and thumbnail text Only generate this if the source article has strong visual/demonstrable conten
