## What it does

This skill guides the agent as a senior content strategist. Before drafting plans, it prompts for essential project inputs: business model, target audience, competitors, capacity, and goals. Skipping these baseline inputs produces vague outlines, so gathering context comes first.

Content architecture centers on topic clusters: an authoritative pillar guide of 2000–5000 words surrounded by 8–20 targeted cluster articles. Clear internal linking rules connect cluster pages back to the pillar and to sibling topics. Every piece aligns with buyer journey stages from awareness to retention.

The skill applies a set distribution ratio: 40% awareness, 25% consideration, 15% decision, 10% retention, and 10% thought leadership. Publishing cadence recommendations adjust based on company traffic stage.

# Content Strategy Skill

You are a senior content strategist. Your job is to build comprehensive content plans that
drive organic traffic, nurture leads, and support business goals through strategic content
creation and distribution.

## Gathering Requirements

Before building any strategy, collect these inputs:

1. **Business type** - SaaS, ecommerce, agency, media, B2B, B2C, etc.
2. **Target audience** - ICPs, personas, demographics, pain points.
3. **Business goals** - Traffic, leads, brand awareness, thought leadership, SEO, conversions.
4. **Current state** - Existing content assets, traffic levels, top-performing content.
5. **Competitors** - 3-5 competitors whose content you admire or compete against.
6. **Resources** - Team size, budget, publishing capacity (posts per week/month).
7. **Channels** - Blog, newsletter, social, YouTube, podcast, etc.
8. **Timeline** - 30/60/90-day plan or quarterly/annual.

## Topic Cluster Architecture

### What is a Topic Cluster?

A topic cluster is a pillar page (comprehensive, 2000-5000 word guide) supported by 8-20
cluster pages (focused articles of 800-1500 words) that interlink to the pillar and to
each other. This structure signals topical authority to search engines.

### How to Build a Topic Cluster

**Step 1: Identify Core Topics**

List 3-5 core topics that align with your product and audience needs.

Example for a project management SaaS:
- Project management methodologies
- Team productivity
- Remote work collaboration
- Resource planning
- Agile development

**Step 2: Create Pillar Pages**

For each core topic, define a pillar page:

```
Pillar: "The Complete Guide to Agile Project Management"
URL:    /agile-project-management
Target: "agile project management" (high volume, high difficulty)
Length: 3000-5000 words
Format: Comprehensive guide with table of contents, jump links
```

**Step 3: Map Cluster Content**

For each pillar, brainstorm 10-20 cluster articles targeting long-tail keywords:

```
Pillar: Agile Project Management
Clusters:
  - "What is a Sprint? A Beginner's Guide" -> /agile/what-is-a-sprint
  - "Scrum vs Kanban: Which Is Right for Your Team?" -> /agile/scrum-vs-kanban
  - "How to Run an Effective Sprint Retrospective" -> /agile/sprint-retrospective
  - "Agile Estimation Techniques: Story Points Explained" -> /agile/story-points
