## What it does

The skill executes article production across four distinct phases: SERP research, content type selection, knowledge extraction, and drafting. No keyword export files are needed. If you lack a brief, the agent reviews the top five Google results for ranking formats and gaps. It covers 23 content types with templates like guides and comparison pages.

During first use, the agent asks four or five questions about your audience and competitors. Answers go into a persistent file, defaulting to `~/.claude/projects/<path>/memory/business-context.md` in Claude Code. The skill never edits `./CLAUDE.md` without consent. This prevents cluttering your global configuration file. Articles rely on real facts and omit artificial padding.

# Write Content

Writes a complete SEO-optimized article. Four phases: research → content type decision → knowledge extraction → write. Includes the full anti-AI-slop ruleset and the voice rules that make the output sound like a practitioner, not a press release.

## Input

- **Topic or target keyword** (required)
- *(Optional)* An existing content brief — skip the research phase if provided
- *(Optional)* Expert interview output from the `expert-interview` skill

If no topic is given, ask for one before proceeding.

## Business context persistence

Business context (audience, tone, language, brand voice, examples) shapes every article. Don't re-ask these questions every session.

**First use**: ask 4-5 questions and save the answers somewhere persistent in your agent's environment. Use the safest default first:

- **Claude Code**: `~/.claude/projects/<path>/memory/business-context.md` is the recommended default. Do NOT write to `./CLAUDE.md` unless the user explicitly asks for it — `CLAUDE.md` is the user's project instructions file and appending unsolicited content to it can surprise them on every subsequent agent turn.
- **Claude Desktop / Claude.ai**: save to a Project's context or a pinned note.
- **Cursor**: `.cursor/rules/business-context.md`.
- **Any other agent**: `seo-context.md` in the working directory.

Always confirm the write location with the user before saving. If any of these are unavailable or the user objects, fall back to re-asking the questions each session.

**Every use after that**: load that file first. If missing, ask where the user saved it or re-ask the questions.

Questions on first use:
- What does the business do, and who is it for?
- What's the brand's tone of voice? (Professional / Casual / Technical / Authoritative / Conversational)
- What language should content be written in?
- What topics should NEVER appear? (compliance, competitor mentions, etc.)
- Who are the 2-3 main competitors?

## Phase 1: Research

If a content brief wasn't provided, Google the topic and read the top 5 results. Note: what formats are ranking, what angles exist, what gaps you see. 3-5 bullet points, not a full brief.

Skip this phase entirely if a brief or prior conversation context already contains SERP analysis.

## Phase 2: Content Type Decision

Based on what's ranking, pick a content type: how-to, definition/explainer, comparison (X vs Y), listicle/roundup, product review, case study, pillar/ultimate guide, FAQ, landing page, service page, news/trend analysis.

State it plainly:
```
