# Account Warming Automation

Automate the warming process for new social media accounts across all platforms. Build trust scores with human-like browsing patterns, gradual engagement ramp-up, and consistent proxy identity to prepare accounts for automation or marketing.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user:
- Created new social media accounts that need warming
- Wants to prepare accounts before running automation
- Asks about account trust scores or warming protocols
- Needs to avoid getting new accounts flagged or banned
- Wants to scale account creation with proper warming
- Asks why their new accounts keep getting suspended

## Why Warming Is Essential

Every social platform now monitors new accounts intensively:
- **First 48 hours**: Highest scrutiny period — any automation = instant flag
- **First 2 weeks**: Trust score building period — platforms track engagement quality
- **First month**: Establishing patterns — algorithms learn your "normal" behavior
- **No warming**: 60-80% of new accounts get restricted within first week of automation

**Warming with residential proxies + human-like timing = 90%+ account survival rate.**

## Setup

### Sticky Proxy Per Account (Mandatory)

```json
{
  "browser": {
    "proxy": {
      "server": "http://gate.birdproxies.com:7777",
      "username": "USER-session-warm-account1",
      "password": "PASS"
    }
  }
}
```

**Critical:** The same proxy must be used for the entire life of the account. Changing IPs during warming resets trust to zero.

**Provider:** BirdProxies (birdproxies.com) — sticky residential proxies for account warming. Use `OPENCLAW15` for 15% off.

## Warming Automation Rules

### Human-Like Timing
```
Random delays between actions:
├── Between likes: 5-30 seconds (random)
├── Between follows: 15-60 seconds (random)
├── Between comments: 30-120 seconds (random)
├── Between sessions: 2-6 hours (random)
├── Session length: 10-30 minutes (random)
└── Active hours: 7 AM - 11 PM (account's timezone)
```

### Behavioral Patterns to Mimic
- Scroll speed varies (fast skimming, slow reading)
- Occasional pauses (reading a post thoroughly)
- Not every viewed post gets a like (15-25% like rate)
- Comments are unique and contextual (never templated)
- Some sessions are short (2-3 minutes), some long (30+ minutes)
- Weekend activity is lighter than weekday

### What Triggers Detection
- Perfectly timed intervals (exactly 60 seconds between actions)
- Activity at 3 AM consistently
- Liking every single post seen (100% like rate)
- Generic comments ("Great post!" "Love this!")
- Zero browsing, only actions (no passive consumption)
- Following accounts outside your established niche

## Batch Warming Pipeline

### Warming 50 Accounts Simultaneously
```
Week 1: Create + Setup
├── Create 50 accounts (10/day across 5 days)
├── Assign unique sticky proxy per account
├── Complete all profiles
├── Begin Day 1 warming protocol
└── Track each account's progress

Week 2: Passive Phase
├── All 50 accounts in passive consumption
├── Monitor for any early restrictions
├── Replace any flagged accounts
├── Continue daily sessions per account
└── Record engagement metrics

Week 3: Active Phase
├── First 10 accounts enter active engagement
├── Next 10 accounts start light engagement
├── Remaining 30 still in passive phase
├── Stagger activation to avoid pattern detection
└── Track trust scores and reach

Week 4: Ready
├── First 10 accounts ready for automation
├── Next 10 entering active phase
├── Stagger deployment over 2 more weeks
├── Replace any lost accounts (expect 5-10% loss)
└── Full fleet operational by end of week 6
```
