## What it does

This skill builds an ongoing posting calendar around content pillars, hero/hub/help balance, and give:ask targets. It lays out recurring slots and queue depth for each channel, then adds batching work plus first-comment and publish-order notes.

Evergreen items get freshness checks before they return to the plan. It also keeps deliberate gaps for trend moments, using go/skip verdicts from `trend-spotter`. Ratio targets are marked as estimated starting heuristics, so they need calibration against your own analytics.

After confirmation, the calendar is written to `memory/social/social-calendar-builder/`. A batch can move from `planned` to `queued` only with a `SHIP` verdict from `social-quality-auditor` tied to its exact version and hash. That means this skill plans the work; a human still publishes it.
