# Community Growth Planner

Create growth loops and engagement rhythms for communities that need momentum. Focus on invite, activate, contribute, and retain.

## Quick Reference

**Key Insight:** Communities need a clear reason to join, a simple first action, and recurring value beyond announcements. Otherwise they become broadcast channels.

## When to Activate

Activate when the user asks to:
- grow or activate a brand community
- plan community growth strategy
- design engagement rhythms
- build ambassador or creator communities

## Workflow

### Step 1: Define Community Type

Identify:
- platform (Slack, Discord, forum, etc.)
- audience and purpose
- growth goal
- moderation constraints

### Step 2: Community Loops

Reference [references/community-loops.md](./references/community-loops.md):

**Invite** – Clear reason to join and expectation of what happens next

**Activate** – Simple first action that creates involvement

**Contribute** – Prompts, events, or formats that make contribution easy

**Recognize** – Spotlight useful members and repeat contributions

**Retain** – Recurring value beyond announcements

### Step 3: Growth Mechanics

Design:
- invite flow and value prop
- onboarding and first action
- contribution prompts (questions, challenges, events)
- recognition and spotlight
- recurring value (content, access, exclusivity)

### Step 4: Output Structure

Produce:
- community positioning and promise
- loop-by-loop plan
- engagement rhythm (daily, weekly, monthly)
- moderation and safety guidelines

## Quality Gates

Before finalizing, verify:
- [ ] Reason to join is clear
- [ ] First action is simple
- [ ] Contribution is easy
- [ ] Recurring value exists beyond announcements
