Rajbharti06/sr-platform-guide

A sourced, dated field guide to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X and Threads. For each platform it gives formats and limits, how people find content, what it reports to creators, what the creator controls, and what nobody outside the company knows, with every fact labelled official, reported, inferred or study and dated. Use when someone asks how a platform works, what the algorithm rewards, which format to use there, or whether a rule they heard is true. Checks the facts database instead of repeating folklore.

Platform guide

Most algorithm advice is a guess repeated confidently. This guide keeps facts, reports and guesses apart.

How to answer a platform question

  1. Say the platform and what the person wants to do there.
  2. Look the facts up: facts_search platform=<name>, or read references/<platform>.md. Each has a status and a date.
  3. Answer in three parts: what is known (official), what is reported by others (say who), and what is inferred or unknown.
  4. If a fact is more than 90 days old, say so and suggest the person check the live app (facts_stale).
  5. End with what the creator controls: packaging, retention, consistency, topic fit.

Status labels

StatusMeaning
officialThe platform states it in its own help or announcements
reportedSomeone other than the platform reports it: a news outlet, a vendor blog, or a platform executive quoted second-hand. The source link and the confidence tell you how far to trust it
inferredA reasonable reading of indirect evidence
studyOne analysis of data; correlation, not proof

Every entry also has a confidence level (high, medium, low), a source where there is one, and an as-of date. Many "reported" entries come from secondary sources, so treat low-confidence ones as leads to check, not as facts.

Reference files

  • references/youtube.md
  • references/instagram.md
  • references/tiktok.md
  • references/facebook.md
  • references/linkedin.md
  • references/x-threads.md

They are generated from the facts database, so they never disagree with it. Platforms change quickly. Facts are checked by hand, not live.

Things nobody outside the platforms knows

The exact ranking weights for any of them. YouTube has not published its ranking signals (youtube.ranking.unpublished). TikTok lists the kinds of signals but not their weights (tiktok.signals.published). LinkedIn has not published weights (linkedin.signals.modelled). X published code in August 2026, and secondary reports disagree on details, so check x.ranking.open_source and its confidence before quoting a number. Anyone selling "the algorithm" with exact percentages is guessing or selling.

Fixing a wrong fact

If the person has a newer source, add or correct the entry in engine/showrunner/data/facts.json (or the generator) and open a "fact PR" with the source link (CONTRIBUTING.md). A fact needs an id, claim, status, confidence, source URL and as-of date.

Gate

None. This skill informs the other skills.

Do not

  • State a limit or weight from memory.
  • Treat a vendor blog or a secondary report as official.
  • Present a correlation study as a rule.

Individual skills in this repo

This repo contains 9 individual skills — each has its own dedicated page.

Rajbharti06/showrunner

Conductor for growing a channel on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X or Threads. Use when someone wants to start, grow, fix or plan social content, asks what to post or where to post, wants a content strategy, calendar or weekly routine, or mentions views, followers, reach, Reels, Shorts, carousels or building a creator business. First asks what they want to make, for whom and where, recommends a hub platform and spokes sized to their real weekly hours, then runs playbooks that chain the sr-* skills with approval gates. It writes and plans. It never posts.

Rajbharti06/sr-edit-plan

Turns a video and its transcript into an edit plan. Reads an SRT or VTT file to report speaking pace, dead air to cut and filler words with timestamps, re-chunks subtitles into short readable lines for vertical video, and writes a cut list, b-roll and on-screen text notes, and export settings. Use when someone asks how to edit a video, wants captions or subtitles, wants to remove pauses and ums, or says their edit feels slow. Produces instructions and a caption file to apply in CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci, Descript or any editor. Nothing edits the video itself.

Rajbharti06/sr-engage

Handles the replies, comments, DMs and outreach that happen after a post goes up. Drafts replies in the creator's voice for them to post, sorts comments into questions, praise, critique and spam, turns repeat questions into content ideas, plans a small daily engagement block, and handles criticism and trolls calmly. Use when someone asks how to reply to comments, grow through engagement, handle a hater, build community, or what to do in the first hour after posting. Drafts only. Nothing is sent or posted by Showrunner.

Rajbharti06/sr-growth-loop

Runs the learning loop that makes a channel get better over time. Writes a hypothesis before posting, changes one variable, logs each post's result, and tests the outcome with a rank-sum permutation test that says adopt, keep testing or drop, including when there are too few posts to tell. Tests hooks, first frames, lengths, thumbnails, titles, captions and posting times. Use when someone asks what to test, whether a change worked, how to improve step by step, or wants a growth routine. Logs live on the person's own machine.

Rajbharti06/sr-hook

Writes and scores hooks, the first line, first three seconds or first frame that decides whether anyone keeps watching or reading. Drafts ten options in different shapes from 32 common structures, scores them on specificity, front-loading, who it speaks to, curiosity, stakes and brevity, fixes the weakest part, and returns the best three. Use for Reels, TikToks, Shorts, YouTube openers, LinkedIn or X first lines, and when someone says their videos get swiped away or asks "is this a good hook".

Rajbharti06/sr-repurpose

Turns one long video, podcast, talk or article into a week of native pieces. Scores a transcript for the best 20 to 60 second windows on opening hook, self-containment, density and payoff, writes ready-to-run ffmpeg commands for 9:16 cuts with matching caption files, then adapts each piece for each platform with a new first frame, platform captions and no foreign watermarks, plus text and carousel spin-offs. Use when someone has long content and asks for clips, Shorts, Reels, a content week or "how do I get more out of this video".

Rajbharti06/sr-script

Writes and times scripts for short vertical video and long YouTube videos. Structures the hook, the promise, the beats with open loops, the payoff and the loop back, writes for the ear in the creator's voice, then times it and flags a hook that runs long, beats that sit still, filler runs, an early call to action and a missing loop. Use when someone needs a script, a talking-points outline, a voiceover, a faceless video, or asks "how long will this run" or "why do people leave my videos".

Rajbharti06/sr-seo

Finds the phrases people actually search for and puts them in the right places on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Google. Builds a keyword table with search intent and placement (title, first line, spoken opening, on-screen text, description, chapters), checks titles and captions against the target phrase, and uses a keyword connector such as vidIQ when one is connected. Use when someone asks about SEO, keywords, search, discoverability, hashtags, or why a good video is not being found. Showrunner has no search-volume data of its own and says so.

Rajbharti06/sr-text-post

Writes text posts and threads for LinkedIn, X, Threads and Facebook. Builds a first line that survives the preview cut, one idea per post, a structure that fits each platform, and sensible link and tag placement. Use when someone asks for a LinkedIn post, a thread, a tweet, a Threads post, a build-in-public update, or wants to turn a video or article into written posts. Keeps the creator's voice and flags what a script cannot fix.
