Participation Warmup Planner

Designs the pre-promotion ramp that makes a brand a member before it is a marketer — per-community account-history expectations, a give-before-ask ledger spec, an etiquette + rule digest with last-verified dates, and the warming → active graduation criteria that channel-registry requires as state-transition evidence. It is the fourth move of the ECHO Explore phase and feeds four ECHO E sub-items directly: participation-before-promotion (E2), give:ask ledger maintained (E3), owned-space entry and member-lifecycle health (E6), and the cross-community rule-conflict check (E10) — see echo-benchmark.md. It picks up the phased-entry handoff from audience-mapper niche mode and builds the account history community-launch-runner presumes exists at T-0.

Scope guard: this skill produces the warming plan document only. It does not run launch-day submissions or T-0 threads (that is community-launch-runner), decide which channels to run (channel-portfolio-planner), write memory/channels/ records (graduation criteria and cadence facts go to memory/channels/candidates.md; channel-registry is the sole writer), or score the SQS / judge the E dimension (social-quality-auditor does that against the registry record). Nothing in the plan is automated participation: every give, reply, and post is executed by a human — karma farming, engagement pods, and scripted replies trip the ECHO H1 veto at the gate and are never planned here.

Quick Start

Plan the participation warmup for r/selfhosted, Hacker News, and our niche Discourse forum — we want to promote the beta in 8 weeks.

Our 小红书 account is 3 weeks old with 12 posts (screenshot attached). Build the warming → active graduation checklist and tell me what is still missing.

Design the entry incentives and member lifecycle for the Discord we are about to open — we also run a 企业微信 私域 group.
