|
|
Analyze LinkedIn content performance, import analytics data, generate reports, audit content
|
|
strategy, and troubleshoot engagement issues. Covers the full analytics lifecycle from CSV
|
|
import to actionable insights and recovery protocols.
|
|
|
|
This skill should be used when the user wants to analyze post performance, import LinkedIn data exports,
|
|
generate weekly reports, audit their content strategy, troubleshoot reach drops,
|
|
or understand what's working and what isn't.
|
|
|
|
Triggers on: "analyze my posts", "LinkedIn analytics", "weekly report", "import CSV",
|
|
"what's working", "content audit", "why is my reach down", "LinkedIn troubleshooting",
|
|
"performance report", "quarterly review", "engagement trends", "audit my linkedin",
|
|
"low reach", "content not working", "reach dropped", "A/B test", "test different hooks",
|
|
"compare post versions", "experiment with content".

## Analytics System
|
|
|
|
### Architecture
|
|
|
|
Node.js CLI tool for parsing LinkedIn CSV exports into structured JSON.
|
|
|
|
**Location:** `scripts/analytics/`
|
|
**Data:** `assets/analytics/` (gitignored -- personal performance data)
|
|
|
|
**CLI usage:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
ANALYTICS_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/assets/analytics" node --import tsx "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/analytics/src/cli.ts" import <file>
|
|
ANALYTICS_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/assets/analytics" node --import tsx "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/analytics/src/cli.ts" report --week <W>
|
|
ANALYTICS_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/assets/analytics" node --import tsx "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/analytics/src/cli.ts" trends --period <P> --metric <M>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Storage structure:**
|
|
```
|
|
assets/analytics/
|
|
+-- exports/ # Raw CSV from LinkedIn (drop files here)
|
|
+-- posts/ # Imported post data as JSON
|
|
+-- weekly-reports/ # Generated weekly reports
|
|
+-- README.md # Import instructions
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Import Workflow Enhancements
|
|
|
|
The `/linkedin:import` command reduces friction with:
|
|
|
|
1. **Auto-detect from ~/Downloads** — Scans for recent LinkedIn CSV files in ~/Downloads before asking users to manually move files
|
|
2. **Quick-import helper** — `hooks/scripts/quick-import.mjs` opens LinkedIn Analytics in the browser and watches ~/Downloads for new CSV files (auto-copies on detection)
|
|
3. **Analytics-to-strategy feedback loop** — After import, automatically runs content pillar performance, format analysis, posting time analysis, and generates 3 data-driven recommendations
|
|
4. **State tracking** — Updates `last_import_date` and `last_import_week` in state file. Session-start and idle-prompt hooks show import staleness warnings.
|
|
|
|
### Data Freshness
|
|
|
|
The plugin tracks import freshness via `last_import_date` in the state file:
|
|
|
|
| Staleness | Status line | Reminders |
|
|
|-----------|-------------|-----------|
|
|
| Never imported | `Import: never` | "No analytics data imported yet" |
|
|
| <7 days | `Import: Xd ago` | None |
|
|
| 7-13 days | `Import: Xd ago` | "Consider /linkedin:import for fresh data" |
|
|
| 14+ days | `Import: Xd ago` | "Analytics data is stale. Strategy recommendations may be inaccurate" |
|
|
|
|
The `strategy-advisor` agent adds data confidence caveats based on import freshness.

## Troubleshooting: Performance Issues
|
|
|
|
### Quick Decision Tree
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Is your reach down?
|
|
|
|
|
+-- Down <25%? --> Normal fluctuation, continue posting
|
|
+-- Down 25-50%? --> Review last week's posts, increase engagement
|
|
+-- Down 50-75%? --> Start 14-day recovery protocol
|
|
+-- Down 75%+? --> Full profile audit, check for violations
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Common Causes
|
|
|
|
1. **360Brew profile mismatch** -- Topic doesn't align with profile (see `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`)
|
|
2. **External link penalty** -- Link in post body causes 40-50% reach suppression
|
|
3. **Engagement drop** -- Not doing pre-post engagement (5x5x5 method)
|
|
4. **Topic inconsistency** -- Posting outside your established expertise areas
|
|
5. **Format fatigue** -- Same format every post, audience stops engaging
|
|
|
|
6. **Stale analytics data** — Strategy advice based on old data; run `/linkedin:import` for fresh data
|
|
|
|
For complete troubleshooting and recovery protocols, see `references/troubleshooting-guide.md`.

## Analytics Tools for Finding YOUR Edge
|
|
|
|
The mechanics in the main skill represent baseline knowledge. Your edge comes from discovering what works specifically for YOUR audience.
|
|
|
|
**Essential free tools:**
|
|
1. **LinkedIn Native Analytics** - Track weekly (15 min)
|
|
2. **Google Trends + Exploding Topics** - Catch emerging topics
|
|
3. **Reddit + Niche Communities** - Find real problems
|
|
4. **Personal Knowledge System** - Connect non-obvious dots
|
|
5. **Structured Experimentation** - Test hypotheses
|
|
|
|

## Content Audit Framework
|
|
|
|
### What to Review (Quarterly)
|
|
|
|
1. **Top performers** -- What topics, formats, hooks worked best?
|
|
2. **Bottom performers** -- What fell flat? Why?
|
|
3. **Topic distribution** -- Are you too narrow or too broad?
|
|
4. **Format mix** -- Matching 70/20/10 rule?
|
|
5. **Engagement quality** -- Comments vs. reactions ratio?
|
|
6. **Profile optimization** -- Still aligned with content themes?
|
|
|
|
### Key Metrics
|
|
|
|
| Metric | Good | Great | Exceptional |
|
|
|--------|------|-------|-------------|
|
|
| Impression rate (% of followers) | 10-20% | 20-40% | 40%+ |
|
|
| Engagement rate | 2-4% | 4-8% | 8%+ |
|
|
| Comment-to-reaction ratio | 1:10 | 1:5 | 1:3 |
|
|
| Profile views per post | 5-15 | 15-30 | 30+ |
|

## Common Patterns
|
|
|
|
**User: "Why isn't my content getting engagement?"**
|
|
1. Review recent posts for patterns
|
|
2. Check for algorithm penalty triggers
|
|
3. Assess first-hour engagement strategy
|
|
4. Evaluate topic consistency
|
|
5. Provide specific fixes from troubleshooting guide
|
|
|
|
**User: "What's working for me?"**
|
|
1. Import or review analytics data
|
|
2. Identify top-performing posts and patterns
|
|
3. Map patterns to content matrix
|
|
4. Recommend doubling down on winning formulas
