## Usage Examples
### Simple Text Post
```python
from chuk_mcp_linkedin import LinkedInManager, ThemeManager, ComposablePost
manager = LinkedInManager()
theme = ThemeManager().get_theme("thought_leader")
post = ComposablePost("text", theme=theme)
post.add_hook("stat", "80% of B2B decision makers prefer thought leadership")
post.add_body("Here's what works...", structure="listicle")
post.add_cta("curiosity", "What's your strategy?")
post.add_hashtags(["B2BMarketing", "LinkedInTips"])
final_text = post.compose()
```
### Using PostBuilder Pattern
```python
from chuk_mcp_linkedin import PostBuilder, ThemeManager
theme = ThemeManager().get_theme("storyteller")
post = PostBuilder.story_post(
hook="I almost quit LinkedIn in 2023.",
problem="After 6 months: 47 followers, 3 likes per post, zero leads.",
journey="Then I changed everything: stopped promoting, started teaching.",
solution="Within 90 days: 5K followers, 50+ leads/week.",
lesson="LinkedIn isn't a megaphone. It's a coffee shop.",
theme=theme
)
final_text = post.compose()
```
### Using MCP Server
