Algorithm Knowledge Base

Algorithm Knowledge Base

Purpose

Provides authoritative, confidence-rated platform algorithm intelligence to inform all Synthex content recommendations. Prevents generic advice by grounding recommendations in specific, verified ranking signals.

Loaded into: AI Marketing Advisor brief generation, Platform Content Optimiser skill, and any content strategy session.

Reference Files

Load the relevant platform file before making algorithm-specific recommendations:

Protocol

When generating content recommendations:

1. Load references/signal-taxonomy.md — establishes signal categories
2. Load platform-specific reference file(s)
3. Map client's content to the top 3 ranking signals for that platform
4. Cite only CONFIRMED or LEAKED signals when making specific claims
5. Mark INFERRED recommendations with "likely" or "based on observed patterns"

Confidence label rules:

• [CONFIRMED] — Direct official statement from platform or verified documentation
• [LEAKED] — From authenticated leak (e.g., Google Content Warehouse 2024)
• [INFERRED] — Multiple corroborating sources (creators, analytics providers)
• [SPECULATIVE] — Single source or community consensus, low certainty

DO NOT:

• Invent signal weights or claim numerical precision not in the reference files
• Use outdated information (check last_verified_date before citing)
• Apply one platform's signals to another without checking cross-platform patterns

Output Format

When citing algorithm intelligence in recommendations:

Signal: watch_time [CONFIRMED — Mosseri 2023-09]
Recommendation: Keep Reels under 30s for service demos — watch completion
directly feeds distribution beyond your existing followers.

Pass / Fail Rules

A recommendation using this skill:

• ✅ PASS: cites at least one specific signal by name with confidence level
• ✅ PASS: distinguishes between platforms when giving multi-platform advice
• ❌ FAIL: "post at optimal times" without citing engagement velocity data
• ❌ FAIL: claims specific percentage weights without [CONFIRMED] or [LEAKED] source
