seasonal-and-moment-marketing
The annual moment-planning skill -- map the few seasonal/cultural/commercial moments that genuinely fit your brand, gate them for fit + authenticity, tier by weight, and plan far in advance. Use when someone wants a seasonal/holiday content plan, a moment calendar, to plan Black Friday/holiday content, or to decide whether to post for a holiday/awareness day. The planned counterpart to trend-jacking's reactivity: silence on the wrong day beats noise on the wrong topic. Uses the DATES framework. Reads brand-profile + audience-research first. The agent builds the calendar, gates fit + authenticity, tiers, plans lead-time, feeds content-calendar. Big moments route to campaign-and-launch-planning + paid; the reactive half to trend-jacking. WoopSocial schedules ahead -- it does not pick moments, judge authenticity, or run paid. Never join identity/cause moments without year-round standing; never fabricate. Distinct from trend-jacking, content-calendar, and campaign-and-launch-planning.

seasonal-and-moment-marketing
The annual moment-planning skill — map the few moments that fit, gate them for fit + authenticity,
tier by weight, and plan far ahead. The planned counterpart to trend-jacking. The agent plans;
big commercial moments → campaign-and-launch-planning; WoopSocial schedules the planned content ahead.
The POV: the few that fit, planned early — not every internet holiday
Brands fail the calendar two ways: ignore it (miss the tailwind of moments that already have attention) or
blanket-post every "national [x] day" (hollow, off-brand spam → sometimes backlash). The top-1% move:
"not every holiday deserves a post, and not every brand deserves a voice in every conversation." Pick the
few that fit your brand + audience + commercial calendar, tier them, and plan in advance — the
predictable counterpart to trend-jacking's reactivity. The question is "does this make sense for our
brand, audience, and goals?" — silence on the wrong day beats noise on the wrong topic.
Read these first
- brand-profile — voice/identity/standing.
- audience-research — what the audience cares about + when.
The framework: DATES
(Depth: references/the-dates-framework.md.)
- D — Decide the moments that matter: build YOUR brand's calendar (seasons, retail anchors, relevant awareness months, industry events, milestones) — not every internet holiday.
- A — Audit for fit + standing: fit gate (brand/audience/goals) + authenticity gate (identity/cause moments need genuine year-round commitment; "why us, why this moment?" or stay quiet — no rainbow-washing).
- T — Tier by weight + sensitivity: Tier 1 commercial/fun (go) · Tier 2 authentic-alignment-required ·
Tier 3 cultural/solemn (non-promotional respect). Big commercial = a campaign →
campaign-and-launch- planning. - E — Engineer it early: 8–12 weeks ahead (major) / 2–4 (minor); run big moments as a multi-week series, not one post.
- S — Slot it in + measure: feed the
content-calendar; schedule ahead via WoopSocial; leave ~50% open fortrend-jacking; measure vs the moment's goal; quarterly review.
The reality (verify-quarterly)
Lead times: major 8–12 wk / minor 2–4 wk; brief Back-to-School in May, Halloween in Aug; quarterly (13-wk)
cycles. Biggest-ROI moments: Christmas, BFCM (Nov 27 / Nov 30 2026), Halloween (Oct 31 — Saturday),
Valentine's, Mother's — run as a multi-week series; BFCM = a dedicated campaign + paid (organic
doesn't carry it; social ≈16% of holiday e-commerce traffic). Authenticity gate: Pride/MLK/Juneteenth/Earth
Day need year-round standing ("why us, why this moment?" or stay quiet — rainbow-washing/authenticity-
theater backlash; a sale on a solemn/identity day is tone-deaf). Tier by category + brand-safety (safe/
sensitive/caution). Plan around seasons, retail anchors, awareness months, industry events (CES/MWC), major
cultural/sporting moments (Olympics/World Cup cycles, awards shows — confirm what's actually upcoming;
these rotate), milestones. Go beyond "happy [day]"; measure vs the goal:
references/seasonal-moments-2026-reality.md. The two gates, the tier table, the lead-time table, the
per-moment plan, the WoopSocial flow + worked examples: references/building-the-moment-calendar.md.
Honest scope (never violate)
- The agent builds the moment calendar, runs the fit + authenticity gate, tiers, plans the
angle + lead-time, and feeds the
content-calendar. - Routing: big commercial moments →
campaign-and-launch-planning(+ paid); the reactive ~50% →trend-jacking; the cultural craft →meme-and-culture; the visual →image-prompt/design-and-templates. - WoopSocial schedules the planned content in advance. It does NOT pick which moments fit, judge authenticity, build the calendar, or run paid amplification.
- The few that fit > blanket-posting. Never participate in identity/cause moments without genuine
year-round standing; non-promotional respect for solemn days; plan ahead; measure vs the goal;
never fabricate. (Scope, distinctions + connections:
references/scope-and-connections.md.)
Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)
seasonal-and-moment-marketing (this) = the PLANNED, advance-planned moment map · trend-jacking = the REACTIVE counterpart (the ~50% open calendar — two halves of one calendar) · content-calendar = the operational scheduling system (this feeds it) · campaign-and-launch-planning = the multi-post arc (big moments route there) · batch-content-plan = batch production · meme-and-culture = the cultural-moment craft (this picks which moments) · social-strategy/content-pillars = the overall plan (this is the time-anchored layer).
Where this connects
Reads first: brand-profile + audience-research. Feeds: content-calendar (moments → the grid), batch-content-plan. Routes to: campaign-and-launch-planning (big commercial + paid), trend-jacking (the reactive half), meme-and-culture (cultural craft), image-prompt/design-and-templates (the visual), email-and-newsletter (the moment on owned channels). Publishes via: the planned content → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial (scheduled ahead). Measure with: native + analytics-and-reporting against the moment's goal (never fabricated). Moment selection, authenticity judgment + paid stay human/native.
Definition of done
A brand moment calendar built from the few moments that genuinely fit (seasons, retail anchors, relevant awareness months, industry events, milestones — not every internet holiday), each passed through the fit + authenticity gate (no identity/cause participation without real year-round standing; "why us, why this moment?" or sit out) and tiered by weight + sensitivity (commercial/fun vs authentic-alignment vs cultural/ solemn non-promotional); big commercial moments scoped as multi-week campaigns via campaign-and-launch-planning (+ paid), planned 8–12 weeks ahead (2–4 for minor) with an angle beyond "happy [day]"; fed into the content-calendar and scheduled ahead via WoopSocial, with ~50% left open for trend-jacking; measured against each moment's goal and reviewed quarterly; nothing fabricated; correctly distinguished from trend-jacking, content-calendar, and campaign-and-launch-planning.

short-form-video-script
social-media-skills/skills
The master craft of scripting short-form vertical video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) for watch-through. Use when someone wants a short-form video script, a Reel/TikTok/Short script, help with hooks, retention, pacing, the ending/loop, sound-off captions, or fixing early drop-off. Watch-through, not likes, rules short-form; the script's only job is to be un-skippable. Uses the WATCH framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first; pulls the 'what' from the content-angle skills and the hook from hook-writer. The agent writes the script (spoken lines + on-screen text + beat/shot direction + hook variants + CTA); the human shoots/performs/edits; WoopSocial publishes the finished file. Routes platform specifics to reels-script / tiktok-script / youtube-shorts; pairs with talking-head-and-piece-to-camera. NEVER bait-and-switches the hook or fabricates a stat. Distinct from hook-writer, captions-and-clipping, and ai-video/veo-3/heygen (which generate the video this scripts).
hook-writer
social-media-skills/skills
Use to write the hook — the opening that earns attention — for any social content: a caption's first line, a video's first three seconds, a carousel cover slide, a thread opener, a YouTube title, or an email subject. Run when the user says "write a hook," "hook for this," "opening line," "first three seconds," "cover slide," "make this scroll-stopping," or when good content keeps getting ignored. Reads brand-profile and voice first so hooks sound like the brand, not viral-bait templates. Hooks must be TRUE to the content that follows — this skill extracts the hook from the post's strongest element and never overpromises. For full captions use caption-writer; for full video scripts use the video skills. This writes the opening itself.
brand-profile
social-media-skills/skills
Use FIRST, before any other social media skill, to load or create the brand profile — the durable record of who a business is, who it serves, how it sounds, and what it will and won't say. Run this when the user says "set up my brand," "brand profile," "brand guidelines," "define our brand voice," "onboard," "get started," when work begins for a new business or client, or any time another social skill needs brand context that isn't already loaded. Works for ANY business: B2B SaaS, ecommerce, local and small business, agencies and their clients, personal brands and creators, and nonprofits. For writing actual posts, see the content skills; to derive a voice from an existing body of writing, use voice-builder; this skill only builds the shared context they all read.
reels-script
social-media-skills/skills
Use to write an Instagram Reels script — a native, sound-off-first short-video script optimized for Instagram's discovery engine, built around a 3-second hook, watch-through, and sends (DM shares). Run when the user says "Reels script," "Instagram Reel," "make a Reel," "Reel hook," "trial reel," or wants short-form video for Instagram specifically. Reads brand-profile and voice first; writes the muted version first; structures for watch-through + sends; places IG-search keywords; picks original vs trending audio (trending audio is added natively in-app — not via WoopSocial); briefs the cover frame; outputs a production doc (shot - on-screen text - spoken - audio - timing) plus a Veo prompt pack for faceless/b-roll shots. The generic scripting craft lives in short-form-video-script; for TikTok use tiktok-script; for Shorts use youtube-shorts; hands the caption to caption-writer, publishing to instagram-reels-publishing, and scheduling to scheduling-and-queue.
viral-reverse-engineering
social-media-skills/skills
Use to reverse-engineer why a piece of content went viral (or overperformed) — yours or someone else's — and extract the repeatable mechanism to apply to your own content. Run when the user says "why did this go viral," "break down this viral post/video," "reverse engineer," "what made this work," or wants to learn from viral content. Sources the observable signal first (intake, transcript, screenshots, top comments, visible stats — an agent usually can't watch a video from a link) and never fabricates what it can't see. Reads brand-profile and audience first, deconstructs the piece layer by layer, isolates the real driver, runs a replicability check, extracts the transferable principle, and applies it to the user's niche via the content skills. Mechanism, never a copy; flags non-replicable virality; visible signals only (no WoopSocial analytics). Single-POST teardown only: for the account-level competitive landscape use competitor-analysis; for riding a live trend use trend-jacking.
instagram-growth
social-media-skills/skills
Use to grow an Instagram account — the Instagram-specific growth strategy that diagnoses where growth is stuck (reach, follow-conversion, retention, or shares) and orchestrates the other skills to fix it. Run when the user says "grow on Instagram," "Instagram growth," "get more followers/reach on Instagram," "my Instagram isn't growing," "Instagram strategy," or wants more reach/followers on IG. Reads brand-profile, social-strategy, and audience first. Built on the 2026 reality that Instagram is a discovery engine where watch time and sends (DM shares) drive non-follower reach. Diagnoses the broken stage of the growth loop and routes to the right skill (reels-script, carousel-writer, profile-optimization, content-calendar, hashtag-strategy, trend-jacking). Judges via native Instagram Insights — not WoopSocial analytics — and treats follower count as vanity.
Popular marketing & seo skills
reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
