+# Platform-specific rules
+
+## Instagram Reels
+- Duration: 30-90 seconds (sweet spot: 45-60s)
+- Hook must land in first 1.5 seconds
+- Captions: use line breaks, no walls of text
+- Hashtags: 3-5 relevant, avoid generic ones
+- Cover image: use text overlay with part number and series name
+- Post spacing: 24-48h between parts for algorithm favor
+- Pin the first part of the series to the profile grid
+
+## TikTok
+- Duration: 30-60 seconds (can go longer if retention is high)
+- Hook in first 1 second — TikTok swipe-away is faster than Instagram
+- Use trending sounds when they fit (don't force it)
+- Text on screen: large, readable, high contrast
+- Post spacing: 12-24h between parts (TikTok rewards frequency)
+- Use the "series" feature if available for your account
+- Reply to comments on part 1 with a link/mention to part 2
+
+## X / Twitter
+- Thread format: each tweet is one "part" or break a series into separate threads
+- First tweet must be self-contained and compelling (it's the hook)
+- Thread length: 5-12 tweets per thread, 3-5 threads per series
+- End each thread with a cliffhanger pointing to the next thread
+- Quote-tweet the previous thread when posting the next one
+- Use a consistent opening pattern: "Part X of the [topic] series:"
+- Pin the thread index to the profile
+
+## YouTube Shorts
+- Duration: 30-58 seconds (under 60s to qualify as Short)
+- Vertical format (9:16)
+- Hook in first 2 seconds with text overlay + voice
+- End screen: "Part 2 is on my channel — subscribe so you don't miss it"
+- Upload all parts within a tight window (1-3 days) to ride the algorithm wave
+- Use playlists to group the series
+
+## LinkedIn
+- Text posts: 1,200-1,500 characters for optimal engagement
+- Document/carousel posts: 8-12 slides, text-heavy, one idea per slide
+- First two lines are the hook (visible before "see more")
+- Post spacing: 48-72h (LinkedIn penalizes high frequency)
+- No hashtags or max 3
+- End with a question to drive comments
+
+## Carousel (Instagram/LinkedIn)
+- 8-12 slides optimal
+- Slide 1: bold hook, no logo, no "swipe right"
+- Slides 2-N: one idea per slide, progressive build
+- Second-to-last slide: cliffhanger for the next carousel
+- Last slide: CTA (follow, save, share)
+- Use consistent brand colors and fonts across all slides in the series
+- Save the "best" insight for slide 5-7 (the ones who swipe that far are your core audience)
