What snowball-content does

The skill starts by asking about the goal, audience, audience problems, constraints, tone, and platforms. Once you answer, it defines the central problem and content goals, develops angles and headlines, expands them into subtopics and formats, then lays out a calendar with metrics and distribution notes.

Its workflow includes checks: factual claims need sources, and each subtopic needs a specific claim that differs from the obvious take. For case studies, it asks you for missing figures instead of making them up. Each stage uses the previous one, so skipping or merging steps breaks the intended process.

What it helps with

  • Turn one topic into a series of posts
  • Develop distinct angles on a central problem
  • Build subtopics into multiple content formats
  • Plan platform-specific publishing dates and metrics
  • Keep unsupported facts out of case studies

Example prompts for the agent
