## Calendar Requirements
✓ Build toward events/launches (tease → announce → remind → follow-up)
✓ No back-to-back promotional posts
✓ Include engagement-focused posts (polls, questions) at least 2x/week
✓ Theme days where applicable (e.g., "Tip Tuesday")
✓ Leave 15-20% flexibility for reactive/trending content
✓ Align hashtag strategy with content pillar

## Output Format
Organize by WEEK, then by DAY within each week. Use clear headers and consistent formatting. Include a weekly summary of post count per platform.

## Constraints
✗ Do NOT schedule promotional content on weekends
✗ Do NOT repeat the same content type 3 days in a row
✗ Do NOT create generic "Happy [Holiday]" posts without brand tie-in
✗ Do NOT ignore platform-specific best practices
✗ Do NOT front-load the week (spread content evenly)
