Social Surface Specs

Select and explain pinned social-media or advertising creative surfaces from a provenance-governed offline catalog. Use when work needs platform placement, dimensions, media limits, safe zones, or organic-versus-advertising distinctions.

Social-surface specifications

Use the pinned offline catalog to choose a creative surface. It is a dated reference, not a claim that a platform's policy is currently unchanged.

Select a surface

Start with the exact platform and distinguish organic from advertising work. Then constrain the placement, media format, or content type only when they materially change the output.

python3 scripts/query-social-surfaces.py \
  --catalog "references/social-surface-catalog.v1.json" \
  --platform "Example Network" \
  --use "organic" \
  --output-format "markdown"

The query is deterministic and offline. It returns the catalog ID, version, and digest with every result so a consumer can compare it to its lockfile. No result is better than guessing: report that the pinned catalog lacks the requested placement and direct the requester to an approved update path.

Interpret the result

Preserve organic and advertising as separate use cases.
Report dimensions, aspect ratio, file types and limits only when present.
Treat a safe_zone.state of unknown as unknown; it is not permission to place important content near an edge.
Preserve the source URL, label, verification state, capture time, and snapshot digest when communicating a selected surface.

Read catalog-contract.md for record fields, provenance, and consumer locks. Read freshness-and-rights.md before making a paid, high-impact, or policy-sensitive delivery.

Freshness and rights boundary

Never describe a dated catalog record as current platform policy. For changed, consequential, paid, or production requirements, verify the record's linked official source and say that a live check occurred. Do not copy source-pack templates, inject unpublished source data, or change rights/review status.

The current catalog is experimental and metadata-only. Its empty records list is intentional: the source review permits creative reference but did not authorize republication of the full directory as a normalized public catalog. The skill must not redistribute the source archive, records, or templates.
