Comment-thread engagement template

What you need: The post you put up (paste it or describe it in a sentence). Roughly how many comments you've got and how long ago you posted — the first 60-90 minutes is the only window the algorithm cares about. Three or four of the actual comments (just paste them) so the AI can categorize them with you. The platform (LinkedIn / X / Threads) since the rules differ. A recent reply of yours you liked, so the AI can match your voice.

How to use: If you've already built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem — open that and paste this prompt inside. The AI will use your profile context and skip questions it already knows. Otherwise paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI interviews you in 6 questions, then produces a cheat sheet: a response-type matrix (when to ask a follow-up / when to add a data point / when to disagree gracefully / when to thank-and-pin / when to ignore), five fill-in-the-blank templates per active category, the 24-hour rule with a concrete time budget for the first hour, and an explicit list of algorithm-killing reply patterns to never use. Paste-ready — keep the doc open while you work through your inbox.
