Engagement Reply And Community Comment Coach

## CONTEXT
Posting is only half of social media; the comment section is where community and reach are built. In 2026 algorithms heavily weight early engagement and meaningful replies, and audiences notice when a creator actually responds. Thoughtful replies extend the life of a post, deepen relationships, and surface content ideas. Strategic commenting on others' posts is also a top growth lever. The challenge is doing this authentically and at scale without sounding canned.
