Detect and respond to brand impersonation, fake accounts, and phishing attempts. Impersonators erode trust and confuse customers. Fast detection and reporting are critical.
Impersonator accounts are inevitable once a brand has any visibility. This skill makes detection systematic — weekly sweeps, customer report intake, and platform takedown procedures — so impersonators are caught before they cause real damage.
| Impersonator Type | Risk | Detection | Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exact handle clone | High | Search for similar handles | Immediate platform report |
| Lookalike account | High | Manual search, follower reports | Report + warn audience if active |
| DM phishing | Critical | Audience reports, inbox monitoring | Report + public warning if widespread |
| Parody/satire | Low-Medium | Platform search | Monitor unless confusing consumers |
| Fake support account | Critical | Customer complaints | Immediate report + legal if needed |
Weekly sweep:
Document each impersonator:
Assess severity:
Draft platform report:
Post public warning if warranted:
# Impersonator Monitor: [Date]
## Detected
**Platform:** [X / LinkedIn / IG / TikTok]
**Handle:** [Fake handle]
**Severity:** [Low / Medium / High / Critical]
**Activity:** [Dormant / Active / Scamming]
**Followers:** [N]
## Action
- [ ] Platform report filed ([date])
- [ ] Public warning posted ([date/link])
- [ ] Follow-up scheduled (72h for high+)
**Status:** [Reported — awaiting takedown / Resolved / Ongoing]
## Impersonation Log
| Date | Platform | Handle | Severity | Reported | Resolved |

...
## Patterns
- Most active platform: [Platform]
- Recurrence triggers: [After viral / During launches]
The skill is complete when:
Search for "[brand]" plus "official" / "support" / "help" on each platform. Any results that aren't yours? Check "is this you?" DMs from last 30 days — any accounts people are confused about?
Analyze A/B tests across hook variations, posting times, content formats, and CTAs — declare statistical winners, document learnings, and build an always-on optimization engine.
Track post-level metrics across all platforms — impressions, engagement rate, profile clicks, follows, link clicks — with weekly aggregation and trend detection for performance analysis.
Generate weekly and monthly performance summary reports — top/bottom posts, content type analysis, pillar performance, follower growth, conversion tracking, and actionable recommendations.
Write Instagram and LinkedIn captions with scroll-stopping hooks, value-dense bodies, platform-appropriate CTAs, and strategic hashtag sets — optimized for each platform's reading behavior and visual context.
Select and write the optimal call-to-action for any social post — follow, reply, DM, save, share, link, or signup — matched to platform, content type, content value, and audience psychology.
Generate 5-10 hook variations for any post, thread, or caption across X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok — using different styles (question, contrarian, statistic, story, observation, promise) so the best one can be tested or selected.
