content-creator-launchpad — Claude Code skill for content brands
Plan a content brand from niche research through early publishing materials, with platform-specific guidance for formats such as YouTube, newsletters, and blogs.
npx skills add harperreed/dotfiles --skill content-creator-launchpad -a claude-codeWhat content-creator-launchpad does
The skill starts by asking which platform you’re building for, what interests you, and where you are in the process. Its workflow covers niche research, brand identity, a publishing roadmap, production structure, and discovery materials. Supported formats include YouTube, podcasts, newsletters, TikTok/Shorts, and blogs.
Each stage produces a numbered Markdown file in content-launchpad/. The skill asks for approval or edits before moving on, and you can jump ahead if you answer questions about missing context. For Claude Code, installation adds ~/.claude/skills/content-creator-launchpad/SKILL.md.
