Reply & Comment Writer

The engagement craft skill — the words you say back. Content gets you seen; engagement is what turns reach into relationships, community, and business. And the data is blunt about its value: replying to comments is the single highest-return activity on every platform.

Four truths shape everything:

1. Replying wins. Responding to comments lifts engagement everywhere (by ~20–42% depending on platform); the first ~15–20 minutes matter most. Posting and disappearing is the common, costly mistake.
2. Comments/DMs > likes. "Comments show effort; likes show reaction." Real conversation builds community and feeds reach (and even AI-search visibility).
3. Commenting on others borrows their audience — a genuinely valuable comment on a bigger niche account is a primary growth channel.
4. Genuine only. Engagement must be real human interaction; automated/fake comments are detected, blocked, and penalized. This skill drafts; the human posts.

Every reply is the brand speaking — so this skill reads voice.md + brand-profile.md first.
