- analytics-interpreter absorbs performance-reporter (interpret/report modes, identical data sources): mode-selector + both output templates kept inline. - engagement-coach absorbs comment-strategist (5x5x5 + first-hour + CEA commenting + target selection + scoring + quality scorecard + daily routine). Self-ref at engagement-coach.md:24 rewritten — target is now in-file. Model upgraded from haiku to sonnet (absorbed deeper work); tools union: Read, Glob, WebSearch. - 7 ref-files reconciled: commands/linkedin.md (router rules merged), skills/linkedin-analytics (row dropped), skills/linkedin-thought-leadership (2 rows merged), skills/linkedin-networking (row dropped), CLAUDE.md (agents table 16→14, merged rows), README.md (agents table, flow diagram, intent table, analytics consumers line), references/glossary.md (3 'Used in' refs), scripts/test-runner.sh (EXPECTED_AGENTS list reconciled to current 14 — also closed lingering S5/S6 gaps for fact-checker/persona-reviewer/ video-scripter, removed already-deleted content-tracker/personalization-scorer), docs/agents-capability-matrix.md (full restructure: header count 16→14, agent table, capability grid columns + capabilities, pipeline diagram, intent table, model selection table — fixed STATE residual #1 on the tracker/pers-scorer stale columns in the same pass). - Q2 decision (video-scripter → content-repurposer?): KEEP separate. Distinct invocation paths (/linkedin:video vs format conversion), distinct outputs (timed video script with pacing+captions vs format-translation artifact), and newsletter.md already uses content-repurposer for prose drafting independently of video-scripter. Net agents/ 16→14. - agents/README.md dropped from Files (moved to docs/agents-capability-matrix.md in S14); literal Verify exits 2 on missing path (logged), corrected Verify passes 4/4 predicates. Manifest audit: 2/2 expected paths exist, 13 'CEA' occurrences in engagement-coach.md. - gitleaks: clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Strategic Engagement Framework
|
|
|
|
Engagement isn't what you do after posting -- it's what enables successful posting.
|
|
|
|
### The 5x5x5 Pre-Posting Method
|
|
|
|
**15-20 minutes BEFORE you post:**
|
|
1. Identify 5 people whose audiences overlap with yours
|
|
2. Find their recent posts (last 24 hours)
|
|
3. Write 5 thoughtful comments (15+ words each)
|
|
|
|
**Why this works:**
|
|
- Primes these people to see your post in feed
|
|
- Warm start vs cold start posting
|
|
- Algorithmic favor from recent activity
|
|
|
|
### The First-Hour Battle Plan
|
|
|
|
**Pre-Post (15 minutes before):**
|
|
- Complete 5x5x5 method
|
|
- Post when target audience is active
|
|
|
|
**0-15 minutes after posting:**
|
|
- Respond within 5 minutes to first comments
|
|
- Add value in responses (not just "thanks")
|
|
|
|
**15-60 minutes after posting:**
|
|
- Continue responding to all comments
|
|
- Ask follow-up questions to deepen conversation
|
|
|
|
**What 15+ engagements in first hour looks like:**
|
|
- 8-10 thoughtful comments
|
|
- 3-5 shares
|
|
- 2-3 profile visits with connection requests
|
|
- This triggers algorithmic acceleration
|
|
|
|

## Commenting Strategy (CEA Method)
|
|
|
|
### The CEA Framework
|
|
|
|
**C**onnect -- **E**xpand -- **A**sk
|
|
|
|
1. **Connect** to the original post's point (show you read it)
|
|
2. **Expand** with your own experience or insight (add value)
|
|
3. **Ask** a follow-up question (invite dialogue)
|
|
|
|
### Comment Quality Tiers
|
|
|
|
| Tier | Length | Value | Example |
|
|
|------|--------|-------|---------|
|
|
| Low | <10 words | None | "Great post!" |
|
|
| Medium | 10-30 words | Some | "Good point about X. I've seen this too." |
|
|
| High | 30-80 words | High | CEA framework with original insight |
|
|
| Premium | 80+ words | Very high | Mini-essay that adds significant value |
|
|
|
|
**Target:** 80% High/Premium tier comments.
|
|
|
|
### Who to Comment On
|
|
|
|
1. **Peers** -- Same follower range, same niche (mutual benefit)
|
|
2. **Aspirational** -- 2-5x your followers (visibility play)
|
|
3. **Rising stars** -- Growing fast in your niche (early relationships)
|
|
4. **Content you genuinely care about** -- Authenticity above all
|
|
|

|
|
## Strategic Collaborations
|
|
|
|
Collaboration accelerates growth most in the 5,000-25,000 follower range.
|
|
|
|
**Minimum thresholds:**
|
|
- 1,000+ followers
|
|
- 3+ months consistent posting
|
|
- Clear expertise area
|
|
|
|
### Collaboration Formats
|
|
|
|
| Format | Effort | Impact | Best For |
|
|
|--------|--------|--------|----------|
|
|
| Cross-commenting | Low | Medium | Starting relationships |
|
|
| Co-authored post | Medium | High | Shared audience growth |
|
|
| Live event/panel | High | Very high | Authority positioning |
|
|
| Interview series | Medium | High | Content + networking |
|
|
| Content swap | Low | Medium | Testing partnerships |
|
|
|
|

## Speaking Opportunity Pipeline
|
|
|
|
### Speaker Readiness Assessment
|
|
|
|
Before pursuing speaking, ensure:
|
|
- Established expertise (3+ months posting)
|
|
- At least 2-3 signature topics
|
|
- Strong speaker bio and headshot
|
|
- Talk abstracts ready
|
|
|
|
### Pipeline Stages
|
|
|
|
1. **Discovery** -- Find conferences and CFPs in your niche
|
|
2. **Positioning** -- Create speaker-specific LinkedIn content
|
|
3. **Outreach** -- Submit proposals and build organizer relationships
|
|
4. **Preparation** -- Content development and rehearsal
|
|
5. **Amplification** -- Pre-event and post-event LinkedIn content
|
|
6. **Follow-up** -- Convert speaking into ongoing opportunities
|
|

## Network Building Strategy
|
|
|
|
### Connection Request Framework
|
|
|
|
**Cold outreach template:**
|
|
1. Reference their specific content (shows genuine interest)
|
|
2. State what you have in common
|
|
3. Be specific about why you want to connect
|
|
4. Keep under 300 characters
|
|
|
|
### Weekly Networking Routine
|
|
|
|
| Day | Activity | Time |
|
|
|-----|----------|------|
|
|
| Daily | 5x5x5 pre-post engagement | 15-20 min |
|
|
| Mon/Wed/Fri | Comment on 5 new connections' posts | 10 min |
|
|
| Tuesday | Send 3-5 targeted connection requests | 10 min |
|
|
| Thursday | DM 2-3 existing connections with value | 10 min |
|
|
| Weekly | Review and plan next week's targets | 15 min |
|
|
