What it does
Article Content is an agent skill from kostja94/marketing-skills. When the user wants to write, generate, or create article body content—blog post body, long-form content, how-to guide, listicle. Also use when the user mentions "write article," "article content," "blog post content," "article body," "long-form content creation," "generate article," "article draft," "how-to guide content," "listicle content," "information gain," or "content density." For single post page structure, schema, and SEO metadata, use article-page-generator. For blog index/listing page, use…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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 Blog and article writing, Copywriting and Technical writing. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Marketing — SEO, Social, Influencer & More. 160+ open-source skills for SEO, content, 40+ page types, paid ads, channels, and strategies. Add project context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Create article body content—blog post body
- Long-form content
- The user mentions write article
- Article content
Example prompts
- “write article,”
- “article content,”
- “blog post content,”
- “/article-content”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8dd89c5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Article Content loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,137 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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: Article Content
Guides creation of article body content—the actual text (intro, body, conclusion) for blog posts, guides, and long-form pieces. Focus on what to write. For where it goes (page structure, schema, metadata), see article-page-generator. For short conversion copy (ads, landing pages, CTAs), see copywriting.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Scope
- Article body: Introduction, body sections, conclusion, CTA
- Content structure: Hook, QAE pattern, paragraph length, scannability
- Word count: By article type and search intent
- Writing frameworks: AIDA, PAS, BAB applied to articles
- GEO elements: TL;DR, Key Takeaways, answer-first
Article Types & Word Count (2025)
Quality over length: Google prioritizes comprehensive coverage of search intent, not word count. Match length to topic depth and intent.
| Type | Word count | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| News / announcements | 300–600 | Product updates, breaking news, FAQs |
| Short-form | 500–800 | Landing pages, product pages (scannable) |
| Standard articles / how-tos | 1,000–1,500 | Single topic; actionable; listicles |
| Listicles | 1,200–2,000 | "Top 10," "Best X"; numbered lists boost CTR ~70% |
| Cluster articles | 800–2,500 | Subtopic; links to pillar |
| Pillar / cornerstone | 2,000–3,500+ | Comprehensive; cluster hub; 6–12 sections |
| Competitive keywords | 1,800–2,500 | Page-one SEO posts avg ~2,400 words |
Intent-based (Google 2025): Validate 1,200–2,000; Explore 2,000–3,500; Compare 600–1,200; Do 900–1,500; Know 300–800. Informational ~40% longer than transactional.
Avoid: Under 300 words (thin); over 7,000 (often underperforms due to reduced focus).
Content Creation Workflow
Four Inputs
Article content rests on four inputs. See article-page-generator for full workflow.
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Product | Connection, features, CTA placement |
| Keywords | Target keyword, primary/secondary |
| Article intent | Informational, commercial, transactional |
| Competitor articles | Structure to adopt, content gaps, length target |
Information Gain (Content Density Over Word Count)
Information gain = net new information a page provides beyond what exists in top-ranking results. Google evaluates unique value, not comprehensiveness. Content density (unique entities, data points, insights per 100 words) matters more than word count. Skyscraper Technique (longer = better) no longer differentiates; AI made comprehensiveness cheap.
Four sources of information gain:
- Counter-narratives: Why "best practice" fails in certain contexts; evidence-backed
- Temporal freshness: Data or developments after competitors' content and LLM cutoff
- SME perspectives: Direct quotes, practitioner experience; not repackaged advice
- Proprietary data: Original surveys, internal benchmarks, user behavior patterns
Avoid consensus content: Restating common facts across top 10 results = zero information gain. Audit SERP before writing; list the "consensus layer"; identify gaps (unanswered questions, outdated data, underserved segments). Lead with what is new; structure answer-first.
Density check: Count unique data points, original insights, specific claims. If ratio of new information to word count is low, cut filler. High-density content (800-1,500 words with 3+ original points) often outperforms long rehashed guides.
TL;DR or Key Takeaways (GEO)
Choose one; place after intro. Content with these elements tends to be cited more frequently by AI engines.
| Format | Spec |
|---|---|
| TL;DR | 50–100 word bold summary paragraph |
| Key Takeaways | 5–7 bullet points |
See generative-engine-optimization for full GEO strategy.
Introduction
Length: 40–120 words; 2–3 paragraphs. Readers decide in ~8 seconds; hook must work instantly.
| Element | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Hook | First 1–2 sentences: pain point, stat, or question; curiosity gap; specific data or contrarian fact |
| Primary keyword | In first 100 words |
| Expectations | Set what reader will learn |
Hook types: "You're doing X wrong"; "97% of Y…"; bold question; challenge assumption. Well-crafted hooks boost CTR 30–50%.
Body
| Element | Guideline |
|---|---|
| QAE pattern | Question (H2) → Answer (2 sentences) → Evidence (data, examples, lists) |
| Answer-first | Direct answer in first 40–60 words after each H2 |
| Answer blocks | 100–200 words per section; direct answer + context + evidence |
| Paragraph length | 40–80 words; 2–4 sentences; avoid walls of text |
| Break long blocks | Lists, H3s, images, callout boxes every 2–3 paragraphs |
| Scannability | Front-load key info (F-pattern); bold key phrases; one idea per paragraph |
Long-form (1,000+ words): Place engagement hooks every 500–600 words; mix 40–50% explanatory text, 20–25% examples, 10–15% data, 5–10% visuals.
Conclusion
Summary + CTA: newsletter signup, related content, product (link to product/feature when relevant). Product-linked content ties to product naturally.
Product Connection
Articles should tie to the product (problem it solves, features, use cases). Avoid purely generic content. Link to product/feature pages naturally in conclusion or when context fits.
Show full SKILL.md (446 more words)Show less
Writing Frameworks
Apply copywriting frameworks to article structure. See copywriting for full PAS, AIDA, BAB.
| Framework | Article use |
|---|---|
| AIDA | Intro (Attention); body (Interest, Desire); conclusion (Action/CTA) |
| PAS | How-to guides: Problem in intro; Agitation in body; Solution throughout |
| BAB | Case studies, transformation: Before → After → Bridge |
Choose by audience: AIDA for ready-to-buy; PAS for pain-driven; BAB for transformation seekers.
Article Headlines
See copywriting for headline formulas (How to, Number, Problem→Solution). For article titles specifically:
- Length: 50–60 chars; see title-tag
- Primary keyword near start
- Numbers and power words boost CTR ~36%
References & Citations
| Scenario | Practice |
|---|---|
| Data or statistics | Cite inline (e.g. "According to Source, 72% of…") or in References section |
| Expert quotes | Attribute; link to source |
| Reference section | For 5+ citations; list at end before Related posts |
| Format | Inline links preferred; numbered refs [1], [2] for academic-style |
See eeat-signals for E-E-A-T, author bio, citations, YMYL.
Content Quality
| Element | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Readability | Grade 8–10 (Flesch-Kincaid); short sentences, clear language |
| Depth | Match type; comprehensive coverage over padding |
| Originality | Unique angle, data, examples; avoid thin or rehashed content |
| Information gain | What does this add that top 10 results don't? Counter-narrative, fresh data, SME quote, or proprietary insight |
| E-E-A-T | Author bio, citations, expert quotes — see eeat-signals |
Content Audit Checklist
When auditing or optimizing article content:
| Dimension | Check |
|---|---|
| Hook | Intro opens with pain point, stat, or question? |
| Keyword in first 100 words | Primary keyword present? |
| QAE pattern | H2s as questions? Answer-first (40–60 words) in each section? |
| Word count | Matches type? (300–600 news, 1,000–2,500 cluster, 2,500+ pillar) |
| Paragraph length | 40–80 words per paragraph? No walls of text? |
| Product connection | Ties to product? Natural links to features/pricing? |
| CTA | Placement (conclusion, mid-article); clarity; product link |
| References | Data/stats cited? Reference section for 5+ citations? |
| Gaps | What do top-ranking articles cover that this misses? |
| Information gain | At least one of: counter-narrative, fresh data, SME perspective, proprietary data? Or consensus rehash? |
See competitor-research for competitor analysis; article-page-generator for page structure and metadata.
