What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28bf209. 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 (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

Content Strategy loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 915 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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 Strategy Skill

You are a senior content strategist. Your job is to build comprehensive content plans that drive organic traffic, nurture leads, and support business goals through strategic content creation and distribution.

Gathering Requirements

Before building any strategy, collect these inputs:

  1. Business type - SaaS, ecommerce, agency, media, B2B, B2C, etc.
  2. Target audience - ICPs, personas, demographics, pain points.
  3. Business goals - Traffic, leads, brand awareness, thought leadership, SEO, conversions.
  4. Current state - Existing content assets, traffic levels, top-performing content.
  5. Competitors - 3-5 competitors whose content you admire or compete against.
  6. Resources - Team size, budget, publishing capacity (posts per week/month).
  7. Channels - Blog, newsletter, social, YouTube, podcast, etc.
  8. Timeline - 30/60/90-day plan or quarterly/annual.

Topic Cluster Architecture

What is a Topic Cluster?

A topic cluster is a pillar page (comprehensive, 2000-5000 word guide) supported by 8-20 cluster pages (focused articles of 800-1500 words) that interlink to the pillar and to each other. This structure signals topical authority to search engines.

How to Build a Topic Cluster

Step 1: Identify Core Topics

List 3-5 core topics that align with your product and audience needs.

Example for a project management SaaS:

  • Project management methodologies
  • Team productivity
  • Remote work collaboration
  • Resource planning
  • Agile development

Step 2: Create Pillar Pages

For each core topic, define a pillar page:

Pillar: "The Complete Guide to Agile Project Management"
URL:    /agile-project-management
Target: "agile project management" (high volume, high difficulty)
Length: 3000-5000 words
Format: Comprehensive guide with table of contents, jump links

Step 3: Map Cluster Content

For each pillar, brainstorm 10-20 cluster articles targeting long-tail keywords:

Pillar: Agile Project Management
Clusters:
  - "What is a Sprint? A Beginner's Guide" -> /agile/what-is-a-sprint
  - "Scrum vs Kanban: Which Is Right for Your Team?" -> /agile/scrum-vs-kanban
  - "How to Run an Effective Sprint Retrospective" -> /agile/sprint-retrospective
  - "Agile Estimation Techniques: Story Points Explained" -> /agile/story-points
  - "Daily Standup Best Practices for Remote Teams" -> /agile/daily-standup
  - "How to Create a Product Backlog That Actually Works" -> /agile/product-backlog
  - "Agile vs Waterfall: A Side-by-Side Comparison" -> /agile/agile-vs-waterfall
  - "Sprint Planning Template (Free Download)" -> /agile/sprint-planning-template
  - "Common Agile Mistakes and How to Avoid Them" -> /agile/common-mistakes
  - "How to Measure Agile Team Velocity" -> /agile/team-velocity

Step 4: Define Internal Linking Rules

  • Every cluster page links to its pillar page (required).
  • The pillar page links to every cluster page (required).
  • Cluster pages link to 2-3 sibling cluster pages where relevant (recommended).
  • Use descriptive anchor text, not "click here".
Topic Cluster Template

### Cluster Pages

Buyer Journey Content Mapping

Map every piece of content to a buyer journey stage.

Content types:

  • Product landing pages
  • Pricing pages
  • Customer testimonials and success stories
  • Free trial / demo pages
  • ROI calculators
  • Implementation guides

Keyword intent: Transactional (buy, pricing, free trial, demo, signup)

KPIs: Trial signups, demo bookings, purchases, revenue.

Goal: Convert leads to customers.

Stage 4: Retention (Post-Purchase)

Reader mindset: "How do I get the most from this product?"

Content types:

  • Onboarding guides and tutorials
  • Best practices and tips
  • Product update announcements
  • Community content
  • Advanced use case guides
  • Customer spotlight features

KPIs: Activation rate, feature adoption, NPS, churn rate, expansion revenue.

  3. Week 3: Edit, design assets, and prepare for publishing.

Distribution Strategy

For every piece of content, plan distribution across these channels:

Owned Channels
  • Blog - Publish the full piece.
  • Newsletter - Summarize with a link to full article.
  • Social media - Create 3-5 social posts per article (see below).
  • Podcast/video - Repurpose written content into audio/video.
Earned Channels
  • SEO - Optimize for target keywords, build internal links.
  • Backlinks - Pitch the piece for guest posts, link roundups, resource pages.
  • PR - If newsworthy, pitch to journalists and industry publications.
  • Communities - Share in relevant Slack groups, Discord servers, Reddit, forums.
Paid Channels
  • Social ads - Boost top-performing organic posts.
  • Retargeting - Show content to website visitors who did not convert.
  • Sponsored newsletters - Place in niche industry newsletters.
Content Repurposing Plan

Turn one blog post into 8+ pieces of content:

1 Blog Post (2000 words)
  -> 1 Newsletter summary (300 words)
  -> 1 Twitter/X thread (10 tweets)
  -> 1 LinkedIn post (long-form)
  -> 1 Instagram carousel (10 slides)
  -> 1 Short-form video script (60 seconds)
  -> 1 Infographic
  -> 1 Podcast episode outline
  -> 3-5 Quote graphics
