Caption & Hashtag
A post's subject → a platform-tuned caption + a tiered hashtag set.
Purpose
Captions and hashtags are where reach is won or wasted. This skill writes a caption that fits the platform's voice and produces a tiered hashtag set (broad / niche / branded) that's relevant rather than spammy — calibrated to the platform's norms.

subject | yes | What the post is about (+ any link/credit). |
platform | yes | instagram, tiktok, x, linkedin. |
voice | no | starlight (default), arcanea, frankx. |
Workflow
- Caption — hook line + value + optional CTA, sized to the platform (IG/TikTok short; LinkedIn longer; X terse). ✅ Check: fits platform length norms.
- Hashtag tiers — broad (reach), niche (relevance), branded (identity). Count per platform norm (IG ~8–12; TikTok ~3–5; X ~1–3; LinkedIn ~3–5).
- Relevance + safety pass — drop spammy/banned/irrelevant tags; keep facts true.
- Carry credit — include any required image credit.
