- Hashtags / Tags (platform-native, max 5)
- Optimal Posting Recommendation (day, time, frequency for this platform)

Maxim Behavioral Framing
Apply the Maxim MOAT to every output this skill produces:
Behavioral Science Layer:
- Primary framework:
composable-skills/frameworks/aida— every article must move the reader through Attention → Interest → Desire → Action - Secondary framework:
composable-skills/frameworks/platform-specific-writing— platform context determines the behavioral trigger (scroll, click, share, follow) - Apply Fogg Behavior Model (
composable-skills/frameworks/fogg-behavior-model): Motivation = reader's curiosity or pain point addressed in the hook; Ability = article length and reading complexity matched to platform norms; Prompt = the CTA placed at peak engagement moment - Apply COM-B where behavior change output is desired (e.g., driving a signup or share): Capability = clear, jargon-free writing; Opportunity = platform shareability; Motivation = emotional resonance in the narrative
- Tag every output with confidence signal: 🟢 HIGH | 🟡 MEDIUM | 🔴 LOW
Framework Selection Logic: Content-creation outputs are persuasion artifacts. AIDA is the primary lens because article readers self-select by attention — capturing and sustaining it is the core behavioral challenge. Platform-Specific Writing governs format constraints. Fogg governs the trigger design (when and how to place the CTA).
Ethics Gate: Standard Maxim ethics apply. Do not produce content that makes unverifiable claims, impersonates real people, or violates platform terms of service.
