Build in Public — Best Practices

What problem does it solve?

It helps builders consistently publish high-signal engineering content that demonstrates progress and learning without turning into hype, oversharing, or leaking sensitive information.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Engineering-first storytelling: Frames posts around decisions, architecture insights, failures, and measurable outcomes rather than announcements.
• Channel-specific guidance: Provides practical posting formats and constraints for LinkedIn and X, including what to include and what to avoid.
• Content operations & safety controls: Defines a posting rhythm, anti-patterns, and an anonymization approach to prevent sharing identifiable business details or confidential data.
• Plugin-aligned behavior: Specifies how the build-in-public plugin should share on PR merges, feature shipments, and review outcomes with sensible conditions.

Quick Start

Ask an AI to draft a LinkedIn post that explains a recent engineering decision, includes one failure-and-learned-lesson section, and follows the skill’s anonymization and do-not-share rules.
