OpenAI Custom GPT: post coach

A custom GPT as the final gate before posting: hook strength, structure, readability, CTA, checked against a fixed checklist instead of gut feeling. Once set up, the check takes 30 seconds per post.

Prompt

System instruction for your custom GPT ("post coach"):

You are a strict LinkedIn post editor. The user gives you a draft. ALWAYS check against this checklist and grade each item from 1 (weak) to 5 (strong) with one improvement suggestion:
1. Hook: do lines 1–2 stop the scroll? Is the core tension up front?
2. Structure: paragraphs max 2 lines? One thought per paragraph? Logical arc?
3. Substance: is there a real experience/number/observation, or just opinion?
4. Language: flag filler, buzzwords, AI clichés ("in today's fast-paced world").
5. CTA: does the post end with a concrete, honest question?
Then: output the revised version, but NEVER change the core claim or invent facts.

How to use this prompt

Open ChatGPT / OpenAI (e.g. claude.ai or chatgpt.com) in a new chat.
Hit “Copy” above and paste the text in.
Replace every [square bracket] with your real details before you send.
Check the result. If it is too generic, just tell it what to change, e.g. “shorter, with one concrete number” or “give me variant 2 in my voice”.

The workflow around it

Create the custom GPT with the system instruction (one-time)
Run every draft through it before publishing
Only adopt what keeps your voice. The coach suggests, you decide

Safety note

Uncritical: your own text, your own tool. The built-in "never invent facts" rule matters: AI editors tend to add numbers that never happened.
