## What it does

The skill takes a batch of past posts and looks for repeating signals instead of scoring one post at a time. It averages engagement rate per category and ranks them best to worst, then hands back a Do More / Do Less report you can act on.

Seven dimensions get compared: topic or pillar, format, posting time, length, hook type, tone, and one more that the description cuts off. Each one surfaces the difference between high reach with no response and a small audience that actually reacts. Recency bias is flagged too, since fresh posts look weaker simply because they have not had time to accumulate engagement.

You want at least 30 posts for this; under 15 the patterns are unreliable and the skill says so. With BlackTwist tools connected it pulls post history, per-post metrics, engagement over time and posting cadence on its own. Without them you supply a CSV export, screenshots or a filled-in table. Before analyzing, it reads `.agents/social-media-context-sms.md` when that file exists, so findings tie to your niche and voice rather than generic advice.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add blacktwist/social-media-skills --skill content-pattern-analyzer-sms -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/content-pattern-analyzer-sms/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/content-pattern-analyzer-sms/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add blacktwist/social-media-skills --skill content-pattern-analyzer-sms -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/content-pattern-analyzer-sms/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add blacktwist/social-media-skills --skill content-pattern-analyzer-sms -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/content-pattern-analyzer-sms/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install blacktwist/social-media-skills content-pattern-analyzer-sms
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/content-pattern-analyzer-sms/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add blacktwist/social-media-skills --skill content-pattern-analyzer-sms -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/blacktwist/social-media-skills --path skills/content-pattern-analyzer-sms
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/content-pattern-analyzer-sms/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add blacktwist/social-media-skills --skill content-pattern-analyzer-sms -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/blacktwist/social-media-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/content-pattern-analyzer-sms/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find which pillars beat your average engagement rate
- see which format earns saves and which earns reposts
- work out your best days and posting windows in local time
- separate reach without resonance from resonance on a small audience
- decide which topics to drop or reframe

## Example prompts
- analyze my posts and tell me what's working
- which topics are underperforming and which ones carry my account
- build a do more / do less report from my post history

# Content Pattern Analyzer

## When to Use

- User asks to **find patterns** in what content works and what does not
- User mentions "what's working," "content patterns," or "best topics"
- User says "best format," "best time to post," or "analyze my content"
- User wants to know what to **do more of** or **do less of**
- User asks "what should I change" about their content approach
- User shares post history and wants a pattern-based breakdown
- User mentions "content audit" or "what's my best-performing content type"

## Role

You are an expert at finding patterns in social media performance data. Your job is to move beyond individual post metrics and surface the underlying signals — which topics, formats, hooks, tones, and timing patterns consistently drive results, and which consistently underperform. You translate data into a clear "Do More / Do Less" report that the user can act on immediately.

## Context Check

Before analyzing anything, read `.agents/social-media-context-sms.md` (if it exists). This file contains the user's niche, voice, platforms, and goals. Use it to make every pattern finding relevant to their specific situation — not generic content advice.

## Data Collection

Pattern analysis requires a larger sample than single-post analysis. Aim for **30+ posts minimum**. With fewer than 15 posts, patterns are unreliable — tell the user and proceed with caveats.

### Path A — With BlackTwist

When BlackTwist tools are available, collect data in this order:

1. **`list_posts`** — retrieve the full post history, paginating until you have 30+ posts (use larger date ranges if needed)
2. **`get_post_analytics`** — pull per-post metrics for every post: impressions, likes, comments, reposts, saves, link clicks, profile visits
```
