# Workflow Recipes


These are common multi-step patterns for using Social Neuron's MCP tools. Each workflow can be run by asking Claude in natural language, or by calling the tools programmatically.

## Weekly Content Batch

Plan and schedule an entire week of content in one session.

```
1. get_ideation_context(project_id)        -- understand what works
2. generate_content(prompt, type, project)  -- create 5 pieces of content
3. quality_check(content, platform)         -- validate each piece
4. get_best_posting_times(platform)         -- find optimal slots
5. schedule_post(content, platform, time)   -- queue everything
```

**Ask Claude**: "Plan and schedule 5 posts for this week based on what's been performing well."

## Performance Review

Analyze your recent content performance and get actionable next steps.

```
1. fetch_analytics(days=7)                 -- raw performance data
2. get_performance_insights(project_id)    -- AI analysis
3. get_loop_summary(project_id)            -- actionable next steps
```

**Ask Claude**: "Review my content performance from the last 7 days and tell me what to do differently."

## Cross-Platform Repurposing

Create content once, then adapt it for every platform.

```
1. generate_content(prompt, platform="youtube")     -- primary content
2. adapt_content(content, target="instagram")       -- adapt for Instagram
3. adapt_content(content, target="tiktok")          -- adapt for TikTok
4. schedule_post(content, platform, time) for each  -- distribute everywhere
```

**Ask Claude**: "Take my latest YouTube video concept and adapt it for Instagram and TikTok, then schedule all three."

## Brand-Aware Autopilot

Set up automated posting that stays true to your brand voice.

```
1. get_brand_profile(project_id)                    -- verify brand voice
2. update_autopilot_config(schedule, platforms)      -- configure schedule
3. get_autopilot_status()                            -- verify it's running
```

**Ask Claude**: "Set up autopilot to post 3 times per week on YouTube and Instagram using my brand voice."

## Comment Engagement

Stay on top of audience interactions across platforms.

```
1. list_comments(platform, status="pending")        -- see new comments
2. moderate_comment(id, action)                     -- flag spam
3. reply_to_comment(id, reply_text)                 -- engage audience
```

**Ask Claude**: "Show me all pending comments and help me reply to the most important ones."

## Full Autonomous Loop

The complete closed-loop content cycle that gets smarter over time.

```
1. get_loop_summary(project_id)              -- assess project state
2. plan_content_week(project_id)             -- generate content plan
3. generate_video / generate_image           -- create media assets
4. check_status(job_id)                      -- poll until ready
5. schedule_post(content, platform, time)    -- distribute content
6. (wait for analytics collection)           -- automatic
7. refresh_platform_analytics()              -- trigger manual refresh
8. get_performance_insights(project_id)      -- read what worked
9. Loop back to step 1 with new insights
```

Each iteration produces smarter content as performance data feeds back into the planning step.

**Ask Claude**: "Run a full content loop -- check what's working, plan new content, create it, and schedule it."

## Content Plan with Approval

For teams that need review before publishing.

```
1. plan_content_week(project_id)                       -- generate plan
2. quality_check_plan(plan_id)                         -- validate all posts
3. submit_content_plan_for_approval(plan_id)           -- send for review
4. list_plan_approvals(plan_id)                        -- check status
5. schedule_content_plan(plan_id)                      -- publish approved posts
```

**Ask Claude**: "Create a content plan for next week, run quality checks, and submit it for team approval."

## Tips for Better Workflows

:::tip
**Be specific with context.** The more context you give Claude about your goals, audience, and brand, the better the output. Instead of "create content," try "create 3 Instagram Reels about sustainable fashion tips for Gen Z."
:::

:::tip
**Chain tools naturally.** You do not need to call tools one by one. Describe the full workflow you want and Claude will chain the right tools together automatically.
:::

:::tip
**Use the learning loop.** Always start with `get_ideation_context` or `get_loop_summary` before creating new content. This ensures your new content is informed by what has performed well in the past.
