## What it does

This skill organizes keyword lists by search intent, topic similarity, funnel stage, and content format. Instead of leaving you with an unorganized spreadsheet, it designs a hub-and-spoke content architecture. It assigns broad concepts to pillar guides of 2000 to 4000 words and connects them to subtopic pages of 800 to 1500 words.

Outputs include bidirectional internal linking maps with anchor text suggestions and a three-phase publishing timeline. If you input keywords without search volumes, the skill will build the hierarchy but cannot calculate realistic traffic opportunities for each cluster.

## Core Concepts

### Topic Clusters

A topic cluster consists of:
- **Pillar page**: Comprehensive guide on broad topic (2000-4000 words)
- **Cluster content**: Detailed articles on specific subtopics (800-1500 words each)
- **Internal links**: Bidirectional links connecting all related content

```text
                    [Pillar Page]
                  "Project Management"
                          |
        +----------------+----------------+
        |                |                |
   [Cluster 1]      [Cluster 2]     [Cluster 3]
   "PM Tools"       "PM Methods"    "PM Skills"
        |                |                |
    +--+--+          +--+--+          +--+--+
    |     |          |     |          |     |
  Sub1  Sub2      Sub1  Sub2       Sub1  Sub2
```

### Keyword Clustering Strategy

Group keywords by:
1. **Search intent**: Informational, commercial, transactional
2. **Topic similarity**: Semantic relationships
