2. Read it fully to understand the hook
3. Generate email + tweet using voice from /blog skill
4. Output both in copy-pasteable format

- Cam

Tweet Format

[hook that stands alone - lowercase, casual]

https://campedersen.com/[slug]

Max 280 chars. No hashtags. No emojis.

Voice Quick Reference

See /blog for full guidelines. Key points:

• Lead with the problem solved or a weird specific detail
• Lowercase for tweets, casual punctuation
• Short sentences, dashes over semicolons
• One exclamation max
• "shipped" not "launched", "wrote" not "published"
• End email with "- Cam"

Never say:

• "We're excited to announce..."
• "Check out this amazing..."
• "I'm thrilled to share..."
