Engagement Routine

The operating system for engagement. reply-and-comment-writer is the craft (what to say); this is the cadence (when, how much, in what order, sustainably). The growth skills all call for "an engagement routine" — this is it.

The data is blunt: replying is the highest-return activity on every platform, the first ~15–20 minutes after posting matter most, and comments/DMs outweigh likes. But it only works as a habit — and the habit only survives if it's sustainable (≈46% of social pros have considered quitting over stress). So this skill optimizes for return and longevity.

Step 0 — Read the context

Load brand-profile.md / social-strategy.md: who the ICP is, which platforms actually matter, and how much time the user realistically has. Right-size everything to that.
