content-idea-generator — Claude Code skill: ideas and installation
This skill shapes content ideas around positioning, customer pain points, and proof points. Use it to get unstuck or plan a content calendar.
npx skills add BrianRWagner/ai-marketing-claude-code-skills --skill content-idea-generator -a claude-codeWhat content-idea-generator does
Before suggesting topics, the skill asks for a positioning statement, customer questions, recent proof points, and available formats. If the positioning lacks specifics, it stops and points to positioning-basics as the next step.
Choose a small brainstorm, a batch for regular planning, or a content system with pillars and a 30-day schedule. The skill searches for timely angles, then checks each idea for a clear hook and a link to an audience problem. Content generation depends on having specific positioning first.
It supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. For Claude Code, run the install command; the skill file is placed at ~/.claude/skills/content-idea-generator/SKILL.md.
