Personal Brand Builder

Personal Brand Builder — Authority at Scale

> "Your personal brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room." > — Jeff Bezos

This skill transforms [PRINCIPAL_NAME] from an operator into a recognized authority — automatically, consistently, at scale.

ENGINE 1 — IDENTITY
  Who you are, what you stand for, why people should follow you
  → Positioning, story, pillars, unique angle, promise
  → Stored in /workspace/brand/identity.json
ENGINE 2 — PRESENCE
  How you show up on every platform — consistently
  → Profile optimization: bio, headline, pinned posts
  → Visual coherence, tone consistency, platform-specific tactics
  → 6 platforms: Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Podcast
ENGINE 3 — AUTHORITY
  Why people trust you and buy from you
  → Social proof engine, testimonials, case studies
  → Strategic networking with niche influencers
  → Guest appearances, podcast outreach, collaborations
  → Credibility content: results, data, transformations

The [PRINCIPAL_NAME] Brand Architecture
