What problem does it solve? Writing blog posts and articles that rank and convert requires coordinating research, competitive analysis, drafting, SEO optimization, and quality checks — a process that often produces vague, unoptimized content when done ad hoc. This Skill provides a structured three-mode pipeline that takes a topic from blank page to publish-ready piece. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Research & Brief Mode: Analyzes top-ranking competitors, identifies content gaps, gathers citable sources, and produces a complete content brief with keyword targets and H2 structure. - Draft Mode: Writes full articles following the brief — hook-driven intros, section-by-section argumentation, and CTA-aligned conclusions. - Optimize & Polish Mode: Runs SEO checks (title tags, meta descriptions, keyword placement), readability scoring via content_scorer.py, structure audits, and a 7-gate pre-publish checklist. - Use Case: Ask it to write a 1,500-word blog post targeting 'reduce SaaS churn' — it will analyze the SERP, build a brief with sources, draft the piece, then score and optimize it until it passes all quality gates. ## Quick Start Write a 1,500-word blog post targeting the keyword 'reduce SaaS churn' for a B2B audience, from research brief through publish-ready draft.
