## What it does

The skill shapes didactic substance for tutorials and myth-busters. It relies on the TEACH framework: target one specific lesson, back it with accurate data, arrange it into 8 to 12 clear units, and attach an explicit call to action. The final copy then feeds dedicated format tools such as `carousel-writer` or `reels-script`.

Before writing, the agent reads `brand-profile`, `audience-research`, and `content-pillars`. This context keeps the instructions tied to actual expertise rather than recycled tips. WoopSocial handles publishing and queue scheduling later, though it never validates the underlying facts.

Accuracy remains mandatory. For YMYL subjects like health or finance, the workflow requires an explicit disclaimer and forbids fabricated steps or statistics. If a topic feels too broad for a single lesson, the skill splits it into a multi-part series.

## When to use it
- turn complex procedures into concise step-by-step tutorials
- organize educational copy using the TEACH framework
- structure lessons into 8–12 units before routing to format writers
- enforce strict accuracy and disclaimers for YMYL topics

## Example prompts
- Build a step-by-step tutorial on database indexing using the TEACH framework
- Structure a myth-buster guide about personal budgeting with a YMYL disclaimer
- Create an 8-unit lesson on Docker basics ready to hand off to `carousel-writer`

# educational-content-and-how-to

The **teach-to-grow content type** — pick a useful topic, teach **one thing completely + accurately**,
structure it, and route it to the right format. The agent **teaches**; the **format writers build it**;
**WoopSocial publishes + serializes.**

## The POV: teach one thing completely, accurately
Teaching is the **highest-trust, highest-save authority builder** — **saves + sends are top-weighted 2026
signals, far above likes** and **educational/how-to content is the most reliable way to earn them** (it's
reference-worthy). The win
isn't recycled generic tips — it's **one genuinely useful idea, taught completely**, as a **flashcard, not a
chapter.** And the gate that separates authority from embarrassment: **accuracy.** Teaching wrong info destroys
trust, and **YMYL** how-tos (health/finance/legal) can cause real harm. The angle works across formats — so the
agent shapes the **lesson** and hands the format mechanics to the writers. **Saves/sends are the metric, not
likes.**

## Read these first
1. **brand-profile** — expertise + voice.
2. **audience-research** — skill level + real pain points.
3. **content-pillars** — which themes.

## The framework: TEACH
(Depth: `references/the-teach-framework.md`.)
- **T — Target one teachable thing:** one process/point/next-step; flashcard not chapter; useful + within real
