social-media-strategy

What it is.

It hands you a platform matrix with an audience, a content style, a posting frequency and one key metric per channel, then builds a calendar against the frequency you can hold.

You use it to decide which channels to drop. LinkedIn is listed at 3 to 5 posts a week measured on engagement rate and X at 1 to 3 a day on impressions and replies, so the resourcing cost is visible before you commit.

What you get.

  • A platform matrix with frequency and key metric per channel
  • Content style guidance matched to each platform's audience
  • A content calendar structure you can staff against
  • Engagement and community management tactics per channel
  • Performance measurement keyed to the metric that platform rewards
HOW TO USE IT

How to set it up.

1

Clone the repo and copy skills/social-media-strategy into ~/.claude/skills.

2

Pick channels from the matrix by frequency you can sustain, not by audience size. Posting to LinkedIn 3 to 5 times a week is a commitment someone has to keep.

3

Take the key metric for each channel as the only one you report. Impressions on LinkedIn and engagement rate on X both measure the wrong thing.

4

Match content style to platform. Thought leadership and case studies for LinkedIn, commentary and threads for X, video for TikTok and YouTube.

5

Build the calendar against the stated frequency, then cut a channel instead of under-post it.

6

Use the engagement tactics for the channel you picked, since community management differs by platform.

Use cases

Dropping half the channels

The team posts everywhere and sustains nothing. Hand it the channels you run; the frequency column makes the resourcing cost of each explicit, which is usually the argument for cutting.

Cleaning up the report

The monthly social report mixes impressions with saves. Take the one stated metric per channel; the next report tracks what each platform rewards and nothing else.

First month somewhere new

The team has never run this platform before. Pull its row from the matrix; the row hands you the audience, the content style, the frequency, and the metric, which covers most of what you need before the first post.

A calendar you can staff

Ambition outruns staffing every quarter. Build the calendar against a frequency someone can hold; where a channel doesn't fit, the guidance is to cut it, never to under-post it.

Best for

Choosing which channels to drop

The frequency column makes the resourcing cost explicit, which is usually the argument for cutting two of four.

Reporting social without vanity numbers

One key metric per channel is stated, so the report stops mixing impressions with saves.

A team new to a platform

Content style plus frequency plus metric is most of what you need to start on a channel you have never used.

Strengths
  • States posting frequency per platform, which is the number that decides whether a plan survives.
  • Assigns one key metric per channel instead of a shared dashboard.
  • Covers organic across five platforms with distinct guidance for each.
  • MIT licensed, installable as a single folder.
Limitations
  • Frequencies are recommendations from one practitioner, so treat them as a starting point and not a benchmark.
  • Organic only. Paid social lives in the ads and ad-creative skills.
  • Install is a clone and a copy, with no version manager behind it.
Skip this if
  • Skip it if you already have a platform plan with a posting rhythm.
