## Step 1 — Profile Audit

Before any growth work, audit the current X presence. Run `scripts/profile_auditor.py` with the handle, or manually assess:

### Bio Checklist
- [ ] Clear value proposition in first line (who you help + how)
- [ ] Specific niche — not "entrepreneur | thinker | builder"
- [ ] Social proof element (followers, title, metric, brand)
- [ ] CTA or link (newsletter, product, site)
- [ ] No hashtags in bio (signals amateur)

### Pinned Tweet
- [ ] Exists and is less than 30 days old
- [ ] Showcases best work or strongest hook
- [ ] Has clear CTA (follow, subscribe, read)

### Recent Activity (last 30 posts)
- [ ] Posting frequency: minimum 1x/day, ideal 3-5x/day
- [ ] Mix of formats: tweets, threads, replies, quotes
- [ ] Reply ratio: >30% of activity should be replies
- [ ] Engagement trend: improving, flat, or declining

Run: `python3 scripts/profile_auditor.py --handle @username`
