What it does

Engagement Routine is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. Use to design a sustainable engagement routine — the operating system that turns the engagement craft into a daily/weekly habit. Run when the user asks how to keep up with comments/DMs, how much time to spend engaging, when to engage, how to build an engagement habit/system/cadence, or how to engage without burning out. Reads brand-profile/social-strategy. Covers time-boxed daily/weekly engagement windows built around the golden hour after posting, triage order, mapping engagement to a goal, and anti-burnout…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/sustainability-and-boundaries.md` and `references/the-daily-and-weekly-routine.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots, Content strategy and Social media marketing. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Design a sustainable engagement routine — the operating system that turns the engagement craft into a daily/weekly habit
  • Asks how to keep up with comments/DMs
  • How much time to spend engaging
  • How to build an engagement habit/system/cadence

Example prompts

  • “/engagement-routine”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the context
  2. Set the cadence (windows, not all-day)
  3. Free the time (the flywheel)
  4. Triage & aim at a goal
  5. Make it sustainable

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Engagement Routine loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 247 tokens; SKILL.md has 608 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~247
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

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.

Step 1 — Set the cadence (windows, not all-day)

Design time-boxed engagement windows instead of all-day grazing — e.g. ~20 min morning + ~20 min afternoon, plus a golden-hour pass right after each post publishes. Order within each window: comments → DMs → urgent/negative → proactive comments on ICP/peers/leaders. See references/the-daily-and-weekly-routine.md.

Step 2 — Free the time (the flywheel)

"No time to engage" is solved by batching + scheduling content (→ batch-content-plan, scheduling-and-queue) to reclaim the hours, then spending them engaging. The flywheel: schedule → freed time → genuine engagement → reach/relationships → more reach. Time posts for windows you can be present. See references/the-scheduling-engagement-flywheel.md.

Step 3 — Triage & aim at a goal

When time is short, do the highest-return things first (golden-hour comments → DMs → negative → proactive), focus on the right people (ICP/peers), not vanity volume, and map the routine to a goal with 2–3 meaningful signals you can read natively (no WoopSocial analytics). See references/triage-priorities-and-goals.md.

Step 4 — Make it sustainable

Build in boundaries: notification discipline, set + communicate response windows, protect off-hours, and prefer a small repeatable routine you keep over a heroic one you abandon. Consistency at a holdable pace beats sprints. See references/sustainability-and-boundaries.md.

How it runs (advisory + honest)

  • WoopSocial has no inbox/analytics. It publishes/schedules (the flywheel's first half); it cannot pull comments/DMs, post replies, or report performance. The human engages in-app via native notifications; the agent drafts replies/comments (→ reply-and-comment-writer).
  • Genuine only. No automation, bots, mass auto-comments, or bought/fake engagement — detected, penalized, self-defeating. The agent assists by drafting; the human does the real interacting.

Quality bar — self-check

  • Did I design a concrete, time-boxed daily + weekly cadence, centered on the golden hour?
  • Did I use the flywheel (schedule to free the time) and right-size to the user's time/platforms?
  • Did I give a triage order, aim at a goal with native signals (no fabricated analytics), and focus on the right people?
  • Did I make it sustainable (boundaries, response windows, not always-on)?
  • Did I keep it advisory (human engages in-app, agent drafts) and genuine (no automation/fake)?

Edge cases & pushback

  • "Auto-reply / mass-comment for me" → refuse automation/fake; genuine routine + draft-for-review.
  • "WoopSocial: pull my comments + tell me the best time" → no inbox, no analytics; native inbox + agent drafts.
  • "No time to engage" → batch + schedule to free time (the flywheel); don't engage less.
  • "Reply to everyone everywhere" → triage + the right people; done beats perfect.
  • "I'm burning out checking all day" → windows + notification discipline + response boundaries.
  • "How do I know it's working?" → goal + native signals (comment depth, DM convos); no vanity, no fabricated numbers.
  • reply-and-comment-writer — the craft this schedules (drafts the replies/comments/DMs).
  • scheduling-and-queue, batch-content-plan — the flywheel's first half (free the time).
  • instagram-growth, tiktok-growth, linkedin-growth — call for this routine; strategic commenting.
  • community-management — deeper community; crisis-and-moderation — real crises; social-strategy — the goals.
