I'm a junior data engineer, not a marketer, and I kept hitting the same wall: I'd write one decent thing and then stare at a blank screen trying to reshape it for Twitter, LinkedIn, Shorts, etc. Pasting the same paragraph everywhere obviously flops.

So I built a Claude skill to do the reshaping properly — the key part isn't "make 6 versions," it's forcing each output to follow that platform's actual rules and killing the generic AI filler. A few things I learned building it that might help even if you don't use the skill:

• One idea per piece. The mistake is summarizing the whole source into each post. Pick the single strongest angle per platform instead.
• Ban filler openers. "In today's fast-paced world," "let's dive in," "unlock the power of" — I hard-coded a rule to delete these. Instantly sounds less like a bot.
• Slop check: if a sentence could apply to any topic, it's slop → rewrite with a real number, name, or example from the source.
• Native shape matters. A thread ≠ a blog. A Short script is spoken (~90–130 words, hook in first 3 seconds), not written.

Quick example — input: "Most 'passive income with AI' advice is fake; the real version is 6 months of unpaid work on one channel before it pays."

→ Short hook it generated: "That guy promising you $5,000/day passive income with AI? He's not lying about the money — he's lying about whose money it is. It's yours. You buy his course."

It works in Claude Code as a /skill, or you can paste the instructions straight into Claude.ai/ChatGPT — no install. I put it up free here if it's useful: [your Gumroad link]. Feedback welcome, still improving it — what platform format do you find hardest to repurpose for?

I built a self-updating page that ranks trending GitHub repos by star momentum computed from its own daily snapshots (via the search API — no scraping of github.com/trending), cross-referenced with Hacker News discussion via the Algolia API.

https://khangyen.github.io/repo-radar/

• Updates itself daily via GitHub Actions cron, $0 infra
• Top-50 repos get an embeddable SVG rank badge (shields.io endpoint)
• Open source: github.com/KhangYen/repo-radar

Built with an AI coding agent, human-owned and reviewed. Feedback and issues welcome.
