The 4-skill bundle on the social-cross-posting agent

Multi-platform social organic cross-posting is one skill on the social-cross-posting agent. The skill decomposes into four operationally distinct sub- skills, each with its own success criteria and its own handoff to the next.

1. Compose

Per-platform per-format prompt assembly from brand -voice spec + claims-allowlist + forbidden-phrase library + per-banner editorial calendar + per- platform format constraints. Per-platform format spec: Facebook + Instagram (Feed + Reels + Stories + Carousel) + LinkedIn (text + native video + document + polls + articles) + X (280 chars + 25k verified + threads) + Pinterest (Pin + Idea Pin) + Reddit (per-subreddit + flair) + Snap (Snap + Spotlight + Story) + TikTok (60-sec + 10-min + carousel) + YouTube (Shorts under 60 sec + standard + Community posts) + Threads (500 characters + media). LLM-assisted via per-vendor zero-retention + RAG grounding against brand- voice + claims-allowlist + forbidden-phrase library + per-platform-policy corpus.

2. Localize

Per-location personalization (location name + city + neighborhood + local events + local sponsorship + local team/employee features + local store hours + local promotion within claims- allowlist). For franchise operators cross-check per-location organic-reach geography against FDD Item 12 territorial-rights registry via handoff to FDD-territorial-protection-gating sibling (per- location organic post amplified into sibling franchisee territory at boost creates Item 12 exposure). Per-banner brand-voice conformance via brand-voice-gate sibling. Per-location franchisee identity via field-level-franchisee-permissions sibling.

3. Comply

Operator-defined policy at publish time via policy-as-code engine. Per-platform Community Guidelines + Terms of Service check against operator-maintained policy registry (versioned snapshot at decision time). Per-platform branded- content disclosure check (platform-native disclosure tool required for sponsored/paid posts). FTC Endorsement Guides + FTC Fake Review Rule + Lanham Act competitor-mark misuse (handoff to forbidden-phrase library sibling) + per-state UDAP + Section 230 review for UGC repost + DMCA for embedded copyrighted material + Title VII + ADA + WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility (alt-text + captioning + accessible image). AUTO-PUBLISH NEVER HAPPENS for failing Comply checks.

4. Distribute

Per-platform API publish on operator-defined coordinated schedule with per-platform optimal- time scheduling. Corporate via Hootsuite + Buffer + Sprout Social + Sprinklr + Khoros + Brandwatch + Later + SOCi + CoSchedule + MeetEdgar. Per- location-franchisee accounts via Hearsay + Denim Social + Gremlin Social + ChatterBoss + ProofPositive. Direct per-platform API where operator has direct integration. Per-post acknowledgment captured per-platform.

The real ecosystem this skill sits above

Social platform + corporate-management substrate

Facebook Pages, Instagram, LinkedIn Pages, X (Twitter), Pinterest, Reddit, Snap, TikTok Business, YouTube, Threads social platforms. Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social, Sprinklr, Khoros, Brandwatch, Later, SOCi, CoSchedule, MeetEdgar corporate social management.

Local-social + UGC + content-safety substrate

Hearsay, Denim Social, Gremlin Social, ChatterBoss, ProofPositive local-social-franchise. TINT, Stackla, Yotpo, Bazaarvoice, Olapic, Pixlee UGC management. Hive AI Moderation, Sift, Spectrum Labs, Sightengine, WebPurify, Two Hat Security, ActiveFence, Modulate content safety.

Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Chroma, Milvus, pgvector, Vespa, LanceDB RAG vector. OPA Rego, AWS Cedar, Casbin, Cerbos, Oso, Styra DAS, Permit.io policy-as-code for Comply enforcement.

5-anchor compliance overlay

Anchor 1 — Per-platform organic-posting ToS + Community Guidelines + branded-content disclosure + FTC Endorsement Guides + FTC Fake Review Rule + Lanham Act + per-state UDAP (operationally distinctive)

Each platform publishes its own Terms of Service + Community Guidelines + algorithmic-distribution policy and changes them frequently: Facebook Community Standards + Instagram Community Guidelines + LinkedIn Professional Community Policies + X Rules + Pinterest Community Guidelines + Reddit Content Policy + Snap Community Guidelines + TikTok Community Guidelines + YouTube Community Guidelines + Threads policies. Per-platform branded-content disclosure requires platform-native disclosure tools (Meta Branded Content Tools + TikTok Branded Content + LinkedIn Sponsored Content + YouTube Paid Promotion Disclosure) when post is sponsored/paid; ad-hoc disclosure text is insufficient. FTC Section 5 + FTC Endorsement Guides 16 CFR Part 255 updated 2023 cover testimonials + endorsements + influencer + AI-generated endorsement + employee disclosures. FTC Fake Review Rule 16 CFR Part 465 effective October 2024 prohibits buying + suppressing + generating fake reviews including reviews disguised as organic UGC. Lanham Act 15 USC 1125(a) + per-state UDAP. Operationally distinctive — this multi-axis frame is uniquely the organic social-posting compliance hook.

Anchor 2 — Section 230 of Communications Decency Act 47 USC 230 limits

Section 230 of the CDA 47 USC 230 limits operator liability for third-party UGC reposted from operator surface but does NOT protect operator- published content. When the operator publishes its own content (organic post + branded post + sponsored post) the operator is the publisher and liable for content under FTC + Lanham + per-state UDAP. When the operator surfaces third-party UGC (customer review repost + user-submitted content), Section 230 may apply depending on the operator role.

Anchor 3 — DMCA 17 USC 512 + per-platform copyright tools

DMCA 17 USC 512 governs takedown of infringing content + counter-notice process for embedded copyrighted material (music + image + video). Per-platform copyright tools (YouTube Content ID + Facebook Rights Manager + TikTok music-licensing pool + Instagram licensed-music tool) enforce per -platform copyright at upload time. Operator obtains music + image + video licensing before upload via per-vendor licensing services (Soundstripe + Epidemic Sound + Artlist + Musicbed + Shutterstock + Getty Images + Pond5).

Anchor 4 — Title VII + ADA Title III + WCAG 2.2 AA + CCPA + CPRA + state-comprehensive-privacy + GDPR + EU DSA

Title VII Civil Rights Act + ADA Title III + 2010 ADA Standards + WCAG 2.2 AA + DOJ ADA Web Accessibility Final Rule require accessible image + video + content (alt-text + captioning + accessible color contrast). Robles v Dominos 9th Cir 2019 + Gil v Winn-Dixie 11th Cir 2021 are the durable digital-accessibility evidence anchor. CCPA + CPRA + 18 state-comprehensive-privacy statutes + GDPR. EU Digital Services Act regulates online platforms + intermediaries.

Anchor 5 — NIST AI RMF + ISO 42001 + EU AI Act + per-vendor LLM zero-retention

When AI-assisted Compose is used (LLM-suggested per-platform per-format candidates + RAG retrieval against brand-voice corpus), NIST AI Risk Management Framework + ISO 42001 + applicable EU AI Act articles + per-vendor LLM zero-retention posture apply. LLM NEVER sole gating mechanism — pattern + RAG + policy-as-code engine ensemble feed Comply decision.

6-workstream pre-engagement-baseline reporting cycle

Per-platform Comply pass rate + per-platform Distribute success rate are what the data shows after the workflow is built, not numbers Completions promises in advance.

Compose coverage. Per-platform per- format spec adherence, per-banner brand-voice spec + claims-allowlist + forbidden-phrase library reference, per-format LLM-zero-retention verification.
Localize quality. Per-location personalization completeness, FDD Item 12 cross- check, per-banner brand-voice, field-level-franchisee -permissions integration.
Comply quality. Per-platform Community Guidelines + ToS check, per-platform branded-content disclosure, FTC Endorsement Guides + FTC Fake Review Rule, Lanham Act, per-state UDAP, Section 230, DMCA, Title VII + ADA + WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, auto-publish-prevention completeness.
Distribute quality. Per-platform API publish success, per-corporate + local-social vendor integration health, per-platform optimal-time scheduling adherence, per-post acknowledgment capture.
5-anchor compliance posture freshness. Per-platform organic-posting ToS + Community Guidelines + algorithmic-distribution policy + branded-content disclosure tools across 9+ platforms + FTC Section 5 + FTC Endorsement Guides + FTC Fake Review Rule + Lanham Act + per-state UDAP + Section 230 + DMCA + Title VII + ADA Title III + WCAG 2.2 AA + CCPA + CPRA + state-comprehensive-privacy + GDPR + EU Digital Services Act + NIST AI RMF + ISO 42001 + EU AI Act + per-vendor LLM zero-retention.
Audit-trail completeness. Per- Compose record, per-Localize decision record, per- Comply decision record, per-Distribute publish record.

Frequently asked questions

What does multi-platform social organic cross-posting at scale across 50-500 locations + 9+ social platforms actually solve?

A multi-banner retail or multi-unit franchise operator running organic social presence at 50-500 locations across 9+ social platforms (Facebook Pages + Instagram + LinkedIn Pages + X + Pinterest + Reddit + Snap + TikTok Business + YouTube + Threads) faces a coordination problem that does not scale with manual posting. Each platform has its own post format (Facebook + LinkedIn longer text + Instagram + Pinterest image-first + TikTok + Snap + YouTube short-form video + X character-limited + Reddit community-context-specific + Threads conversational), its own algorithmic-distribution policy (Instagram Reels favored over still images; LinkedIn favors text + native video over external links; X reduces reach for posts with outbound links; Pinterest favors fresh content; TikTok favors completion rate; YouTube Shorts favors hook within first 3 seconds), its own community guidelines (each platform publishes its own), its own branded-content disclosure requirements when a post is sponsored or paid. Each location has per-location personalization needs. The skill composes per-platform per-format content from operator-defined inputs, localizes per-location, enforces per-platform compliance gates, and distributes to every operator-chosen platform on a coordinated schedule.

Why is per-platform organic-posting ToS + community guidelines + branded-content disclosure + FTC + Lanham + Section 230 + DMCA the operationally distinctive frame?

Organic social cross-posting at multi-location scale carries a different compliance surface than paid ads. Each platform publishes its own Terms of Service + Community Guidelines + algorithmic-distribution policy and changes them frequently: Facebook Community Standards + Instagram Community Guidelines + LinkedIn Professional Community Policies + X Rules + Pinterest Community Guidelines + Reddit Content Policy + Snap Community Guidelines + TikTok Community Guidelines + YouTube Community Guidelines + Threads policies (inherited from Instagram). Per-platform branded-content disclosure requires using platform-native disclosure tools (Meta Branded Content Tools + TikTok Branded Content + LinkedIn Sponsored Content + YouTube Paid Promotion Disclosure) rather than ad-hoc disclosure text when the post is sponsored or paid. FTC Section 5 + FTC Endorsement Guides 16 CFR Part 255 (updated 2023) cover testimonials + endorsements + influencer disclosures + AI-generated endorsements + employee disclosures. FTC Fake Review Rule 16 CFR Part 465 (effective October 2024) prohibits buying + suppressing + generating fake reviews including reviews disguised as organic UGC. Lanham Act 15 USC 1125(a) covers competitor-mark misuse. Per-state UDAP layers state enforcement. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act 47 USC 230 limits operator liability for third-party UGC reposted from the operator surface but does not protect operator-published content. DMCA 17 USC 512 governs takedown of infringing content + counter-notice process. Operationally distinctive — this multi-axis per-platform + FTC + Lanham + UDAP + Section 230 + DMCA frame is uniquely the organic social-posting compliance hook.

How does the Compose skill generate per-platform per-format content?

The Compose sub-skill assembles per-platform per-format prompts from operator-defined brand-voice spec + claims-allowlist + forbidden-phrase library + per-banner editorial calendar + per-platform format constraints. Per-platform format spec: Facebook (text up to 63,206 characters but algorithmic preference for shorter; image + video + link cards); Instagram (Feed + Reels + Stories + Carousel + Guides per per-format spec); LinkedIn (text up to 3,000 characters + native video + document posts + polls + articles); X (280 characters default + 25,000 for verified + threads); Pinterest (Pin + Idea Pin + Board organization); Reddit (per-subreddit community-specific format + flair); Snap (Snap + Spotlight + Story); TikTok (60-second + 10-minute video + carousel + photo); YouTube (Shorts under 60 seconds + standard video + Community posts); Threads (500 characters + media). LLM-assisted generation via OpenAI + Anthropic + Google + Mistral + Cohere + Meta + AWS Bedrock + Azure OpenAI + Vertex AI under per-vendor zero-retention produces per-platform per-format candidates. RAG retrieval (Pinecone + Weaviate + Qdrant + Chroma + Milvus + pgvector + Vespa + LanceDB) grounds candidates against brand-voice + claims-allowlist + forbidden-phrase library + per-platform-policy corpus.

How does the Localize skill personalize per-location while respecting per-banner brand standards?

Localize takes Compose output and applies per-location personalization: location name + city + neighborhood + local events + local sponsorship mentions + local team/employee features + local store hours + local promotion (where applicable + within Compose claims-allowlist). For franchise operators Localize cross-checks per-location organic-reach geography against FDD Item 12 territorial-rights registry via handoff to FDD-territorial-protection-gating sibling (a per-location post amplified into a sibling franchisee territory creates Item 12 exposure when amplified through paid boost; organic reach within local audience is generally fine but cross-checked at boost). Per-banner brand-voice conformance is verified against per-banner brand-voice spec via brand-voice-gate sibling. Per-location franchisee identity is verified before posting to per-location accounts (handoff to field-level-franchisee-permissions sibling).

How do Comply and Distribute enforce per-platform gates and deliver on coordinated schedule?

Comply runs operator-defined policy at publish time via policy-as-code engine (OPA Rego + AWS Cedar + Casbin + Cerbos + Oso + Styra DAS + Permit.io). Per-platform Community Guidelines + Terms of Service check against operator-maintained per-platform policy registry (versioned snapshot at time of decision). Per-platform branded-content disclosure check (when post is sponsored/paid, platform-native disclosure tool must be used). FTC Endorsement Guides check (testimonial + endorsement + influencer + AI-generated endorsement + employee disclosure). FTC Fake Review Rule check (post must not impersonate organic UGC if paid/sponsored). Lanham Act competitor-mark misuse check (handoff to forbidden-phrase library sibling). Per-state UDAP check. Section 230 review for UGC repost (third-party content liability scope). DMCA check for embedded copyrighted material. Title VII + ADA + WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility check (alt-text + captioning + accessible image). AUTO-PUBLISH NEVER HAPPENS for failing Comply checks. Distribute runs the actual per-platform API publish (Hootsuite + Buffer + Sprout Social + Sprinklr + Khoros + Brandwatch + Later + SOCi + CoSchedule + MeetEdgar corporate; Hearsay + Denim Social + Gremlin Social + ChatterBoss + ProofPositive per-location-franchisee accounts; direct per-platform API where the operator has direct integration) on operator-defined coordinated schedule with per-platform optimal-time scheduling.

How does Completions report on this without fabricating KPI commitments?

Pre-engagement baseline is established in the first 30 days. Reporting cycles cover the six workstreams: Compose coverage (per-platform per-format spec adherence + per-banner brand-voice spec + claims-allowlist + forbidden-phrase library reference + per-format LLM-zero-retention verification), Localize quality (per-location personalization completeness + FDD Item 12 cross-check + per-banner brand-voice + field-level-franchisee-permissions integration), Comply quality (per-platform Community Guidelines + ToS check + per-platform branded-content disclosure + FTC Endorsement Guides + FTC Fake Review Rule + Lanham Act + per-state UDAP + Section 230 + DMCA + Title VII + ADA + WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility check + auto-publish-prevention completeness), Distribute quality (per-platform API publish success + per-corporate + local-social vendor integration health + per-platform optimal-time scheduling adherence + per-post acknowledgment capture), 5-anchor compliance posture freshness (per-platform organic-posting ToS + community guidelines + algorithmic-distribution policy + branded-content disclosure tools across 9+ platforms + FTC Section 5 + FTC Endorsement Guides + FTC Fake Review Rule + Lanham Act + per-state UDAP + Section 230 + DMCA + Title VII + ADA Title III + WCAG 2.2 AA + CCPA + CPRA + state-comprehensive-privacy + GDPR + EU Digital Services Act + NIST AI RMF + ISO 42001 + EU AI Act + per-vendor LLM zero-retention posture), audit-trail completeness (per-Compose record + per-Localize decision record + per-Comply decision record + per-Distribute publish record).
