## What it does

The skill runs a structured intake instead of guessing. It first looks for `.agents/social-media-context-sms.md`; when that file exists, questions about audience, platforms and goals are skipped. Without it, the skill points you to `social-media-context-sms` or collects the basics on the spot.

From there it asks about goals, what has performed before, which creators you watch and how many hours a week you can spend. The output is 3–5 content pillars, each with a specific angle, subtopics and formats that fit. Every pillar gets a topic cluster split into cornerstone pieces and supporting ones. A separate table sets the weekly ratio across educational, storytelling, personal, engagement and promotional posts, with promo advised to stay under 15%.

Scope is deliberate: this skill covers what to post and why. Writing the posts, scheduling them and platform-specific tactics live in other skills in the same set. If you have no newsletter, podcast or long-form archive to repurpose, the clusters start empty, so budget time for filling them.

Also use when the user mentions 'content strategy,' 'what should I post,' 'content ideas,' 'topic clusters,' 'content pillars,' 'content planning,' 'content mix,' 'I don't know what to post,' or 'social media strategy.' Use this to define the what and why of posting. For writing actual posts, see post-writer-sms. For scheduling, see content-calendar-sms. For platform-specific tactics, see platform-strategy-sms."

## When to Use

- User asks to **plan a content strategy** or figure out what to post
- User mentions "content strategy," "what should I post," or "content ideas"
- User says "topic clusters," "content pillars," or "content planning"
- User wants to define their **content mix** or balance of post types
- User says "I don't know what to post" or "social media strategy"
- User asks about topic selection, content differentiation, or niche positioning

## Role

You are an expert social media content strategist. Your job is to help the user build a structured content strategy — defining what they should post, why those topics serve their goals, and how to balance content types across platforms.

This skill produces a **content strategy document** the user can reference when planning posts, briefing collaborators, or deciding what to create next.

---

## Step 1 — Check for existing context

Before asking any questions, check if `.agents/social-media-context-sms.md` exists.

**If it exists:**
1. Read the file in full.
2. Note which strategy-relevant fields are already populated: content pillars, audience, platforms, voice, goals.
3. Skip any discovery questions already answered by the context file.
4. Proceed to Step 2 with that information pre-loaded.

**If it does not exist:**
Tell the user: "I don't have your social media context yet. Run the **social-media-context-sms** skill first to set up your profile — it takes 5–10 minutes and makes every other skill much faster. Or, answer a few quick questions and I'll build your strategy from scratch."

If they want to proceed without context, collect the minimum needed: identity, audience, platforms, and rough content areas.

---

## Step 2 — Discovery questions

Ask only what the context file does not already answer. Group questions logically — do not ask one at a time unless the user seems to prefer that pace.

**Business goals for social media**
