- A/B test auto-analysis: when experiment duration ends, surface winner with statistical confidence
- Content fatigue detection: alert when engagement drops on a recurring content pillar

- Hook performance audit: measure execution time per hook, identify bottlenecks
- E2E test suite for hooks: automated testing beyond the analytics pipeline
- Plugin self-update check: compare installed version against marketplace version
Growth & Monetization
Priority: Low | Effort: Medium
- Competitor tracking persistence: store competitive analysis results for trend comparison over time
- Lead generation templates: content-to-DM pipeline for consulting/speaking inquiries
- Collaboration matching: suggest collaboration partners based on audience overlap analysis
Deprioritized (Not in 2026 scope)
| Item | Reason |
|---|---|
| LinkedIn API direct posting | No official posting API available; copy-paste workflow is intentional and avoids ToS issues |
| Multi-user / team support | Designed for individual thought leaders; team features would change the architecture fundamentally |
| Real-time analytics streaming | LinkedIn doesn't expose streaming data; CSV export is the only reliable data source |
| Automated engagement (auto-like, auto-comment) | Violates LinkedIn Terms of Service; plugin explicitly avoids this |
| OAuth login for LinkedIn data | LinkedIn's API access is restrictive; manual CSV export is more reliable and privacy-respecting |
Dependencies on External Development
| Dependency | Impacts | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code hook events (new event types) | Q3 automation improvements | Monitor Claude Code changelogs |
| Claude Code MCP server authoring | Q3 analytics MCP server | In development (as of April 2026) |
| Claude Code subagent API stability | Q3 batch generation | Available but evolving |
| LinkedIn CSV export format stability | All analytics features | Stable (no changes since Jan 2026) |
| MCP image generation tools | Q3 visual content | Available via mcp-image |
