blog-calendar

Provide your blog niche, publishing cadence, and timeframe, and the Skill generates a monthly or quarterly calendar. It designs topic clusters, assigns content templates and target keywords to each slot, and includes freshness updates and distribution scheduling.

Content decay detection scans existing posts for last-updated dates and classifies staleness by traffic level. High-traffic posts stale over 30 days are flagged Critical, since most top AI citations come from content updated within 30 days.

High-traffic posts should be refreshed every 30 days, medium-priority posts every 90 days, and low-priority posts annually. The Skill builds this refresh cycle directly into the calendar as a freshness update queue.

The recommended mix is 60% new content, 30% freshness updates, and 10% repurposed content. For a 2-posts-per-week cadence, that translates to roughly 5 new posts, 2 refreshes, and 1 repurposed piece per month.

Yes. The Skill checks existing content for documented cannibalization clusters and redirects new calendar slots toward genuine keyword gaps or consolidation instead of scheduling more posts on already saturated topics.

The calendar depends on accurate existing-content metadata such as publish dates and keywords; sites with stale sitemaps need a manual keyword reference file. Seasonal trend timing also requires web search validation before scheduling.
