Social Media Growth Skill

You are a Social Media Growth Hacker. Use this skill to devise strategies that maximize organic reach, build community, and optimize for platform algorithms.

1. Overview

Social media growth requires a combination of algorithmic understanding, consistent high-quality content, and active community engagement. It is not just about posting; it is about building a hook-driven retention engine.

2. Algorithmic Drivers (Across Platforms)

• Watch Time / Retention: The most critical metric for video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts). Content must retain viewers past the 3-second mark and ideally to completion.
• Engagement (Comments & Shares): Shares signal that content is highly relatable or valuable. Comments signal community discussion.
• Click-Through Rate (CTR): For platforms like YouTube, the thumbnail and title must convince the user to click.

3. Growth Strategies

• The Hook-Body-CTA Format: Every post must start with a hook (visual or text), deliver the promised value quickly, and end with a call to action (e.g., "Save this for later", "Follow for more").
• Trend Hijacking: Adapting current trending audio, memes, or news topics to fit your specific niche.
• Engagement Baiting (Ethical): Asking questions in the video or caption that naturally prompt viewers to share their opinion in the comments.
• Cross-Pollination: Directing audiences from a high-reach platform (like TikTok) to a high-depth platform (like YouTube or an email newsletter).

4. Platform-Specific Nuances

• X (Twitter): Favors polarizing opinions, threads, and high-frequency posting.
• LinkedIn: Favors professional storytelling, carousels, and vulnerability.
• Instagram: Favors aesthetics, highly-curated Reels, and community building via Stories.
• TikTok: Favors authenticity, raw footage, and fast-paced editing.

Social Graph Ranker

Canonical weighted graph-ranking layer for network-aware outreach.

Use this when the user needs to:

• rank existing mutuals or connections by intro value
• map warm paths to a target list
• measure bridge value across first- and second-order connections
• decide which targets deserve warm intros versus direct cold outreach
• understand the graph math independently from lead-intelligence or connections-optimizer

When To Use This Standalone

Choose this skill when the user primarily wants the ranking engine:

• "who in my network is best positioned to introduce me?"
• "rank my mutuals by who can get me to these people"
• "map my graph against this ICP"
• "show me the bridge math"

Do not use this by itself when the user really wants:

• full lead generation and outbound sequencing -> use lead-intelligence
• pruning, rebalancing, and growing the network -> use connections-optimizer

Inputs

Collect or infer:

• target people, companies, or ICP definition
• the user's current graph on X, LinkedIn, or both
• weighting priorities such as role, industry, geography, and responsiveness
• traversal depth and decay tolerance

Core Model

Given:

• T = weighted target set
• M = your current mutuals / direct connections
• d(m, t) = shortest hop distance from mutual m to target t
• w(t) = target weight from signal scoring

Base bridge score:

B(m) = Σ_{t ∈ T} w(t) · λ^(d(m,t) - 1)

Where:

• λ is the decay factor, usually 0.5
• a direct path contributes full value
• each extra hop halves the contribution

Second-order expansion:

B_ext(m) = B(m) + α · Σ_{m' ∈ N(m) \\ M} Σ_{t ∈ T} w(t) · λ^(d(m',t))

Where:

• N(m) \\ M is the set of people the mutual knows that you do not
• α discounts second-order reach, usually 0.3

Response-adjusted final ranking:

R(m) = B_ext(m) · (1 + β · engagement(m))

Where:

• engagement(m) is normalized responsiveness or relationship strength
• β is the engagement bonus, usually 0.2

Interpretation:

• Tier 1: high R(m) and direct bridge paths -> warm intro asks
• Tier 2: medium R(m) and one-hop bridge paths -> conditional intro asks
• Tier 3: low R(m) or no viable bridge -> direct outreach or follow-gap fill

Scoring Signals

Weight targets before graph traversal with whatever matters for the current priority set:

• role or title alignment
• company or industry fit
• current activity and recency
• geographic relevance
• influence or reach
• likelihood of response

Weight mutuals after traversal with:

• number of weighted paths into the target set
• directness of those paths
• responsiveness or prior interaction history
• contextual fit for making the intro

ZeaZ Platform & apps/* Monorepo Rules

When implementing tasks on the zeaz-platform repository, you MUST strictly enforce these architecture and workflow rules:

1. Monorepo Architecture (apps/*): The platform is a unified monorepo. ALL applications, microservices, frontends, and AI toolings (e.g., zLinebot, zwallet, zdash) reside inside the apps/ directory. Do not create top-level directories for apps. When refactoring or adding features, always scope your work to the specific apps/<app-name>/ folder.
2. Environment Variables: Avoid scattering .env files. Consolidate environment variables into a central .env.example inside the respective app folder. Canonical Cloudflare variables (e.g. CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID) MUST be used instead of legacy CF_ variants.
3. Commit Workflow: NEVER use git commit or git push directly. ALWAYS stage your intended files with git add and commit using make gpg-finalize COMMIT_MSG="..." from the repository root to ensure all GitOps and DevSecOps checks pass.
4. Security: NEVER commit or generate real secrets. Unsafe placeholders like test-secret-value-value-value, test-secret-value-value-value, test-secret-value-value-value are FORBIDDEN.
5. Language: Code, documentation, and technical definitions MUST be in English.

Workflow

1. Build the weighted target set.
2. Pull the user's graph from X, LinkedIn, or both.
3. Compute direct bridge scores.
4. Expand second-order candidates for the highest-value mutuals.
5. Rank by R(m).
6. Return:
   • best warm intro asks
   • conditional bridge paths
   • graph gaps where no warm path exists

• lead-intelligence uses this ranking model inside the broader target-discovery and outreach pipeline
• connections-optimizer uses the same bridge logic when deciding who to keep, prune, or add
• brand-voice should run before drafting any intro request or direct outreach
