• Audience: Identify the target audience, their preferred platforms, and content preferences.
• Brand Voice: Specify tone, style, and any topics or terminology to avoid.

If available, review .claude/product-marketing-context.md for relevant product marketing context. Otherwise, prompt the user to provide these details.

        f"Create a LinkedIn post for {audience} with the goal of {goal}. "
        f"Use a {brand_voice} tone. The topic is: {topic}."
    )
    return ai_generate_content(prompt)

    for i in range(num_days):
        day = datetime.strptime(start_date, "%Y-%m-%d") + timedelta(days=i)
        for j in range(posts_per_day):
            calendar.append({
                'date': day.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"),
                'platform': '',
                'content': ''
            })
    with open('content_calendar.csv', 'w', newline='') as csvfile:
        fieldnames = ['date', 'platform', 'content']
        writer = csv.DictWriter(csvfile, fieldnames=fieldnames)
        writer.writeheader()
        for row in calendar:
            writer.writerow(row)
