Fit Scorer

Use when the user asks to "score this influencer", "rank these creators for our campaign", or "tell me which influencer is the best fit"; produces weighted fit scores across audience match, content quality, brand alignment, engagement authenticity, and partnership potential, plus a ranked comparison and a go/pass verdict. Not for finding new influencers — use influencer-discovery; not for sending outreach — use outreach-manager.

Objectively evaluate how well an influencer matches your brand by scoring them across five weighted dimensions, turning gut feel into a defensible go/pass decision.

Quick Start

Score one influencer:

text

Score @[handle] for [brand/campaign] and tell me if they're a good fit

Compare and rank a shortlist:

text

Compare and rank these influencers for [campaign]: @influencer1, @influencer2, @influencer3

Skill Contract

• Reads: brand/campaign context, target audience definition, campaign goal, and a shortlist of influencer handles (supplied by the user or carried over from influencer-discovery). Optional prior audience profiles from memory/influencer/audience-mapper/ and competitor partner benchmarks from memory/influencer/competitor-tracker/. For rostered creators, read partnership history and audience-stat provenance from memory/creators/<handle-slug>.md — the creator-registry roster record — as Partnership Potential inputs.
• Writes: a fit-score report (per-dimension raw scores, weighted totals, verdict, ranked comparison) to memory/influencer/fit-scorer/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md.
• Promotes: top-ranked handles, final scores, and the go/pass verdict to memory/hot-cache.md so downstream skills pick the right targets.
• Done when:
  • Every shortlisted influencer has a weighted total score on the 1-5 scale with per-dimension justifications.
  • A ranked comparison and an explicit verdict (Highly Recommended / Recommended / Consider / Pass) exist for each candidate.
  • The report is saved to the family memory path and top picks are promoted to the hot cache.
• Primary next skill: competitor-tracker — benchmark your top-scored picks against the creators competitors already partner with.

Data Sources

This family needs no live integrations (Tier 1). Fit Scorer works end to end by asking the user for the inputs it scores — handles, audience targets, brand values, and any metrics they have. A connector sharpens the numbers but none is required.

• ~~influencer database — follower counts, audience demographics, and partnership history.
• ~~social platform analytics — engagement rate, comment quality samples, posting cadence, growth trend.
• ~~audience intelligence — real-vs-bot follower estimates and audience overlap with your target.
• Roster record (keyless Tier 1) — prior contact, response reputation, and delivery history come from memory/creators/<handle-slug>.md when the creator is rostered (creator-registry curates it); ~~CRM is an optional Tier-2 sharpener for the same history when no roster record exists.

Measured YouTube inputs (free key): for YouTube candidates, python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/connectors/youtube.py" videos @handle --limit 10 supplies the engagement-authenticity inputs directly — per-video views/likes/comments against the displayed subscriber base (views-to-subs consistency, comment rate, cadence) — so those sub-scores come from Measured numbers instead of screenshots. Free YOUTUBE_API_KEY; shortlist vetting only (ToS refuses bulk-harvesting quota). See scripts/connectors/README.md.

With zero integrations, ask the user to supply each value the scoring tables request; the framework and weighting still produce a defensible ranking. See CONNECTORS.md for the free/keyless recipe per category.

Instructions

All fill-in tables and the comparison/report layouts live in references/scoring-templates.md — copy the matching block for each step.

1. Define the scoring framework. Set the five dimensions, weights (default below; tune per goal via the custom-weighting matrix), and the 1-5 scale. Use the Step 1 template.

   C³ ACE alignment & veto gate. This skill is the C³ Creator scorer (ACE). Map dimensions onto ACE: Audience Match → Audience; Engagement Quality → Engagement; the Brand Safety sub-check → Credibility (C1). Note: the value/aesthetic/messaging-fit part of Brand Alignment is creator × brand fit, which C³ scores in ROI.Orchestration (O1), not ACE — ACE is brand-independent, so keep brand-fit out of Credibility. Before ranking, screen every creator against the three ACE veto items; any failure is disqualifying → verdict PASS (do not partner) AND cap the Final Rating at the Poor / Below-Average band (≤ 2.9 / 5, i.e. ACE ≤ 59/100) so the score never contradicts the decline. State the veto ID + evidence:

   Veto	Item	Fail condition
   A2	Real-Follower Rate	< 70% real followers, or audit refused (follower fraud)
   C1	Brand Safety	disqualifying content / active scandal
   E2	Engagement Authenticity	pod / bought engagement

2. Score Audience Match — target-vs-actual demographics plus audience quality (real/active/bot %). Step 2 template.

3. Score Content Quality — production value, cadence, content mix, best examples, concerns. Step 3 template.

4. Score Brand Alignment — value/aesthetic/messaging fit and the Brand Safety check (feeds ACE C1). Step 4 template.

5. Score Engagement Quality — engagement rate vs industry avg, authenticity indicators, pod/buying signs (feeds ACE E2). Step 5 template.

6. Score Partnership Potential — partnership history, professionalism, exclusivity/availability, estimated value; pull prior-partnership and response-history facts from the memory/creators/ roster record when one exists. Step 6 template.

7. Calculate the final score — roll raw × weight into the weighted total, apply the interpretation band, write the verdict and expected performance. Step 7 template.

8. For multiple influencers, produce the ranking summary, dimension-by-dimension comparison, and prioritize/combine/pass recommendation. Step 8 template.

Save the report to memory/influencer/fit-scorer/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md and promote top picks + verdict to memory/hot-cache.md.

Compact Example

User: "Compare @ecofashionista, @greenwardrobe, @sustainablesarah for our sustainable fashion brand (goal: conversion)."

Output: Each scored across the five dimensions with conversion weighting (Audience 35%, Brand 20%). @sustainablesarah ranks #1 (4.4/5) on highest audience match and authentic engagement; @greenwardrobe flagged DONE_WITH_CONCERNS on a borderline real-follower rate (A2 watch); ranked comparison + go/pass verdicts saved, top pick promoted to hot cache.

Next Best Skill

Primary: competitor-tracker — benchmark your top-scored picks against the creators competitors already work with before you commit budget.

Alternates (same discover phase):

• influencer-discovery — if the shortlist is too thin to rank, source more candidates.
• audience-mapper — if audience-match scores are uncertain, tighten the target-audience definition first.

Termination note: Track a visited-set of skills invoked this session. If the recommended next skill has already run, stop and report the chain complete rather than re-invoking it. Stop after at most 3 hops (max-depth 3) and hand back to the user with the saved report path.
