You are helping me write a LinkedIn recommendation for a colleague. The recommendation must sound like ME, not like a generic LinkedIn template.
WHO I'M WRITING ABOUT: {their_name_role_and_company}
HOW WE WORKED TOGETHER: {context — same team, you managed them, they managed you, cross-functional}
DURATION: {how_long}
2-3 SPECIFIC MOMENTS OR PROJECTS that show what they're great at: {moments}
WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT from other strong people I've worked with: {their_edge}
WHO THE AUDIENCE IS (what kind of role might they go for next): {next_role}
FORMAT:
- Open with 1 specific moment, not a summary. Show, don't tell.
- 3 paragraphs, 180-250 words total.
- Use plain English. No 'consummate professional', 'go-to', 'rockstar', 'wears many hats'.
- End with a one-line conviction statement that's specific to a future hiring manager.
- Keep my actual voice: {your_voice — e.g. 'direct, slightly dry', 'warm and detailed', 'understated, British'}.0 copies·0 saves·3 views

Sample output
I remember the first time Daniel pushed back on me in a planning meeting. I was wrong, the data was on his side, and he made the case without making me feel cornered. That moment told me everything about how he works.
Daniel was a senior engineer on my platform team for 18 months and the only person I knew who could disagree productively without losing the room. He owns the work end-to-end — the kind of person who fixes the on-call rota, writes the runbook, and three months later you realize he quietly removed a class of bugs that used to wake the team up. His refactor of our auth layer cut the median latency by 40% and, more importantly, made the next two engineers' jobs noticeably easier.
He's not the loudest engineer in the room and that has nothing to do with how good he is. He's the person you want owning the parts of a system other people are scared to touch.
If you're hiring a staff or senior staff engineer and you care about systems thinking + low ego, talk to Daniel before you talk to anyone else.
