What it does

Content Strategy is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Define what content a product needs, how it is structured, and who owns it. Use when content itself is the problem. For the words in the interface use ux-writing (designer-toolkit); for structural hierarchy use information-architecture.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 and UX design. The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Content itself is the problem
  • Tasks that involve Content strategy
  • Tasks that involve UX design

Example prompts

  • “/content-strategy”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Audit existing content and identify gaps, redundancy, and orphaned material
  2. Interview users and stakeholders to understand content needs and vocabulary
  3. Define content types and models
  4. Establish voice, tone, and writing principles
  5. Define governance: owners, workflows, review cycles
  6. Document and socialize — content strategy only works if writers follow it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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

Content Strategy loads about 852 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 430 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~852

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.

description
Define what content a product needs, how it is structured, and who owns it. Use when content itself is the problem. For the words in the interface use `ux-writing` (designer-toolkit); for structural hierarchy use `information-architecture`.

Content Strategy

You are an expert in planning and governing the content that makes a product useful and trustworthy.

What You Do

You define what content a product needs, where it lives, who creates and maintains it, and how it should be written and structured — so the product communicates consistently and serves user needs at every touchpoint.

Content Strategy Components

Content Audit
  • Inventory of all existing content by type, location, owner, age, and performance
  • Classification: keep, revise, consolidate, or remove
  • Identifies gaps (content users need that doesn't exist) and redundancy (same content in multiple places)
Content Model
  • Defines content types and their attributes (e.g. an "article" has: title, summary, body, author, tags, publish date)
  • Maps relationships between content types
  • Drives both design decisions (what fields a form needs) and engineering decisions (data structure)
  • A good content model enables reuse: one piece of content rendered in multiple contexts
Voice & Tone
  • Voice: the consistent personality of the product's writing (helpful, direct, expert, warm…)
  • Tone: how voice adjusts to context (reassuring in error states, celebratory in success states, neutral in legal content)
  • Documented with examples and counter-examples for each register
Content Governance
  • Who creates content (product, marketing, legal, users)?
  • Who reviews and approves it?
  • How often is it reviewed for accuracy and freshness?
  • Where is the source of truth?
  • What is the deprecation process for outdated content?
Content Hierarchy
  • Primary content: the main thing users come to do or read
  • Secondary content: supporting context (descriptions, labels, help text)
  • Tertiary content: metadata, timestamps, attribution
  • Design should reflect this hierarchy visually; content strategy defines it semantically

Relationship to Adjacent Disciplines

  • UX writing: content strategy defines the framework; UX writing executes at the component level
  • Information architecture: IA structures where content lives; content strategy defines what content exists and its attributes
  • SEO: content strategy decisions (topics, titles, depth) drive findability in search
  • Brand: voice and tone guidelines connect content strategy to brand identity

Process

  1. Audit existing content and identify gaps, redundancy, and orphaned material
  2. Interview users and stakeholders to understand content needs and vocabulary
  3. Define content types and models
  4. Establish voice, tone, and writing principles
  5. Define governance: owners, workflows, review cycles
  6. Document and socialize — content strategy only works if writers follow it

Best Practices

  • Start with a content audit before designing new structures — you often need less than you think
  • Involve legal and compliance early in voice and tone decisions
  • Make the content model drive component design, not the reverse
  • Revisit governance quarterly — content rots when ownership is unclear
  • Measure content performance (findability, task completion, search queries) to drive revisions
