description: Measure social performance honestly: engagement, reach, clicks and pipeline, with benchmarks and next tests.
---

Turns raw social numbers into a report that says what happened, what probably caused it, and what to try next, without overclaiming. It defines every metric before using it, uses medians so one viral post does not distort the picture, separates reach from real outcomes like clicks, sign-ups and conversations, and ends with tests rather than verdicts. CMO.so supplies the LinkedIn side of what was posted and when; performance numbers come from the user's own exports.

When to use

  • Monthly or quarterly social reviews; "how are we doing"; "which posts worked".
  • Checking whether a CMO.so LinkedIn campaign delivered against its objective.
  • Someone wants to change strategy because of one post or one week.
  • Not for: picking platforms and pillars (use cmo-social-strategy), LinkedIn positioning and cadence (use cmo-linkedin-strategy), paid or cross-channel campaign reporting (use cmo-campaign-analytics), the website's search and AI results (use cmo-weekly-report).

What is the Social analytics skill?

Measure social performance honestly: engagement, reach, clicks and pipeline, with benchmarks and next tests.

It's one of cmo.so's open Social & community skills: a SKILL.md file that tells an AI agent when to use it, what to ask you first, the steps to follow, the checks to pass and what to hand back, so the job is done the same careful way every time.

When should I use it?

Reach for it when you'd otherwise say something like “How is our social media doing?”, “Analyse our LinkedIn / Instagram / X results”, “What's our engagement rate?”. Your agent reads the skill's description and picks it for requests like these, so you don't need to name it.

If a request is close but not quite right, the skill says so and points to the related skill that fits better, instead of forcing a poor answer.

What do I need to give it?

It works best with platform exports from the user's own accounts (post-level CSV/XLSX); web analytics with UTM-tagged social traffic, and CRM or form data if available; the goal social is meant to serve and the period to review; and with CMO.so: the LinkedIn queue, recent posts and campaigns.

You don't have to prepare everything up front. The skill asks for missing pieces one at a time and says plainly when it's working from an assumption instead of your data.

What do I get back?

You get a performance report: what went out, robust engagement figures, top and bottom posts, outcomes; charts chosen to fit each question, each with its source; three findings, the confidence in each, and the next tests; and comment themes and audience-fit notes that feed the next posts.

Every result comes from a written method with a quality bar, so numbers name their source, claims are checked and the output is ready to use or share rather than a rough draft.

Is it free?

Yes. The skill is open source under the MIT licence, so you can use it, change it and share it, including for client work.

Seeing, copying and downloading the whole file on cmo.so needs a free sign-in. Copying also upvotes and saves it, so you can find it again under Saved on the skills page.

Which AI agents can use it?

Claude Code installs it from the cmo.so marketplace. Any agent that reads SKILL.md folders, such as Codex or Cursor, can use it once the folder is in its skills directory.

You can also paste the copied skill into ChatGPT, Claude or any assistant at the start of a conversation and ask it to follow the skill.

How do I install it?

In Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace add AI-Marketing-OS-LTD/cmo-so-skills, then /plugin install cmo-so-social@cmo-so. That installs this skill together with the rest of the Social & community group.

For other agents, sign in, press Copy or Download above and put the file in your agent's skills folder as SKILL.md inside a folder named after the skill.

Do I need a cmo.so account to use it?

No. The skill works on its own with whatever your agent can already see and do: your files, the pages you share and the data you paste in.

With cmo.so connected it can go further, using tools such as social_list, campaign_get through the MCP server. Every change is previewed and confirmed before it happens.

Which skills work well with it?

It pairs well with LinkedIn strategy & analytics; and Campaign analytics & benchmarks. The agent can hand over from one to the next in the same conversation, for example research first, then the plan, then the writing.

Each of them has its own page with what it needs and what it returns, linked below.

Can I change it to fit my business?

Yes. It's a plain Markdown file, so you can edit the steps, add your own checks and examples, and keep your version in your own repo. The MIT licence allows it.

If your change would help others too, suggest it on the skills page or open a pull request on GitHub, and it may be folded into the library for everyone.

Where does the method come from?

It's written by cmo.so and adapts open work by others, credited on this page: ericosiu/ai-marketing-skills (MIT); replynodes/awesome-social-media-skills (MIT); and blacktwist/social-media-skills (MIT).

Only permissively licensed work is adapted; copyleft repos are used for ideas only and repos without a licence aren't used at all.

Is my data sent to cmo.so when the agent uses it?

No. The skill only guides your own agent; your files, documents and data stay wherever your agent and its tools keep them.

cmo.so only sees what you connect to cmo.so. Your votes and saves on this page are stored against your cmo.so sign-in.
