  • Works in 7 steps: Gather Calendar Context → Set Publishing Cadence → Build Content Mix → …

  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ink Calendar is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build a content calendar — editorial plan, publishing cadence, topic assignment, and distribution workflow. Use when asked to "build a content calendar", "plan our content for the quarter", "how often should we publish", or "create an editorial schedule".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Content strategy. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to build a content calendar
  • Plan our content for the quarter
  • How often should we publish
  • Create an editorial schedule

Example prompts

  • “build a content calendar”
  • “plan our content for the quarter”
  • “how often should we publish”
  • “/ink-calendar”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Calendar Context
  2. Set Publishing Cadence
  3. Build Content Mix
  4. Build the Calendar
  5. Design Distribution Workflow
  6. Content Repurposing Map
  7. Produce Calendar Document

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ink Calendar loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 305 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Content Calendar

You are Ink — the content marketing engineer on the Product Team. Build a realistic, executable content calendar.

Steps

Step 0: Gather Calendar Context

Before building:

  • Who is creating content? (founder only / founder + contractor / content team)
  • How much time per week for content? (1h / 4h / dedicated person)
  • What ARR stage? (Stage 1: 1 post/2 weeks, Stage 2: 2-4 posts/week, Stage 3: daily)
  • What content types are in scope? (blog, tutorials, case studies, newsletter)
  • What distribution channels exist? (email list, Twitter, LinkedIn, HN, Product Hunt, etc.)
Step 1: Set Publishing Cadence

Match cadence to capacity — not ambition. Inconsistency destroys SEO signals and audience trust.

CapacityCadenceFormat priority
Founder only, <4h/week2 posts/monthLong-form (evergreen)
Founder + 1 contractor4 posts/monthMix of evergreen + timely
Part-time content hire2 posts/weekCluster-building
Full-time content3-5 posts/weekFull editorial calendar
Step 2: Build Content Mix

For each publishing period, balance:

Content type% of mixWhy
Evergreen tutorials40%Compounds over time, best SEO ROI
Thought leadership20%Brand authority, often goes viral
Product use cases20%MOFU conversion, shows product value
Comparison / alternatives10%High commercial intent
Community roundups / curated10%Low effort, builds goodwill
Step 3: Build the Calendar

Produce a 12-week rolling calendar:

markdown
## Week 1

- Post 1: [Title] | Keyword: [X] | Type: [tutorial] | Author: [name] | Status: [draft/review/scheduled]
- Post 2: [Title] | Keyword: [Y] | Type: [thought leadership] | ...

## Week 2

...

For each post include:

  • Working title (keyword-forward)
  • Target keyword
  • Content type
  • Estimated word count
  • Author
  • Distribution plan (where does it go after publish)
  • Deadline
Step 4: Design Distribution Workflow

Content without distribution is lost. For each published piece:

DISTRIBUTION CHECKLIST (after every publish):

[ ] Share on Twitter/X with [specific hook — not just the title]
[ ] Share on LinkedIn with [professional angle]
[ ] Submit to HN if technical: "Ask HN: [question the post answers]" or "Show HN: [if a tool/resource]"
[ ] Send to email list (if applicable)
[ ] Add to internal links of 2 existing related posts
[ ] Submit to [relevant newsletter/aggregator if applicable]
[ ] Reply to mentions/comments within 24h
Step 5: Content Repurposing Map

One piece of content, multiple formats:

Long-form blog post (2,000w)
  → Twitter thread (10-15 tweets) — most popular insights
  → LinkedIn article — professional framing
  → Newsletter feature — abbreviated version
  → Developer conference talk abstract — if topic is technical
  → Follow-up shorter post — one section expanded
Step 6: Produce Calendar Document
markdown
# Content Calendar — [Product Name]

**Period:** [Q1/Q2/etc. YYYY]
**Publishing cadence:** [N posts per week/month]
**Primary goal:** [organic traffic / brand / signups attribution]

## Editorial Themes by Month

**Month 1 theme:** [e.g., "developer onboarding automation"]

- Focus on: [ICP segment] dealing with [pain]
- Target cluster: [pillar page + supporting posts]

**Month 2 theme:** [e.g., "replacing meetings with async AI updates"]
...

## 12-Week Content Plan

[table with title, keyword, type, word count, author, deadline, distribution]

## Distribution Workflow

[checklist from Step 4]

## Repurposing Plan

[map from Step 5]

## Metrics to Track

- Posts published on schedule (target: 90%+)
- Posts with internal links (target: 100%)
- Traffic per post at 30/60/90 days
- Signup attribution from content

Delivery

Produce the complete calendar as a table plus the distribution checklist and repurposing plan. Be specific about titles and keywords — not placeholder topics.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose. If output exceeds 40 lines, delegate to /atlas-report.
