blog-brief

Provide a topic or target keyword and the Skill runs keyword research, analyzes top-ranking competitors, and outputs a structured brief with title options, an H2 outline, statistics to cite, and internal links. The brief is saved as a markdown file ready for the writing step.

A complete brief includes primary and secondary keywords, search intent, word count targets, a recommended content template, an H2 outline with answer-first guidance, sourced statistics, FAQ items, meta description, and an internal linking plan. This Skill generates all of these sections automatically.

The brief plans citation capsules: 40-60 word self-contained passages per H2 section, each containing a statistic, its source, and a standalone claim. It also includes TL;DR drafts and information-gain prompts that improve extractability by AI answer engines.

Yes. The Skill checks a used-keywords reference file before accepting a topic and flags overlaps with existing content clusters. It then proposes a differentiated angle or consolidating existing posts instead of briefing a competing new one.

The brief depends on web search results for keyword volumes and competitor data, so accuracy reflects what is publicly retrievable at generation time. Statistics still require source verification, and brand-specific inputs like product links must come from the configured reference files.
