Verify

• The actual channel was reached (post URL, message ID, or platform-side confirmation captured), not just a draft saved locally
• Targeting parameters (subreddit, hashtag, audience, time zone) match what the content-creation guide prescribes for the chosen platform
• Copy was checked against the platform's character/format limits before posting; the final character count is recorded
• Engagement plan for the first 1-2 hours after posting is written down with specific actions, not 'monitor and reply'
• At least one platform-specific anti-pattern from the skill (e.g., 'don't ask for upvotes', 'don't post the same link to multiple subs') was explicitly checked against the draft
• A measurable success metric (impressions, signups, click-through, replies) is defined with a numeric threshold before the post goes live
