What it does

Educational Content And How To is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. The teach-to-grow content type -- pick a genuinely useful topic, teach ONE thing completely, structure it as a clear lesson, keep it accurate, and route it to the right format. Use when someone wants to teach their audience, make a how-to / tutorial / step-by-step / explainer / myth-buster, build authority content, or earn saves. Uses the TEACH framework. Reads brand-profile + audience-research + content-pillars first. Feeds the format writers (carousel-writer, reels-script, tiktok-script, thread-writer…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/educational-content-2026-reality.md` and `references/scope-and-connections.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Educational content, Video scripts and shorts and Content strategy. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone wants to teach their audience
  • Make a how-to / tutorial / step-by-step / explainer / myth-buster
  • Build authority content

Example prompts

  • “/educational-content-and-how-to”

Workflow steps

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

  1. brand-profile — expertise + voice.
  2. audience-research — skill level + real pain points.
  3. content-pillars — which themes.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. 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

Educational Content And How To loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 257 tokens; SKILL.md has 770 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~257
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.3k

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.

educational-content-and-how-to

The teach-to-grow content type — pick a useful topic, teach one thing completely + accurately, structure it, and route it to the right format. The agent teaches; the format writers build it; WoopSocial publishes + serializes.

The POV: teach one thing completely, accurately

Teaching is the highest-trust, highest-save authority builder — saves + sends are top-weighted 2026 signals, far above likes and educational/how-to content is the most reliable way to earn them (it's reference-worthy). The win isn't recycled generic tips — it's one genuinely useful idea, taught completely, as a flashcard, not a chapter. And the gate that separates authority from embarrassment: accuracy. Teaching wrong info destroys trust, and YMYL how-tos (health/finance/legal) can cause real harm. The angle works across formats — so the agent shapes the lesson and hands the format mechanics to the writers. Saves/sends are the metric, not likes.

Read these first

  1. brand-profile — expertise + voice.
  2. audience-research — skill level + real pain points.
  3. content-pillars — which themes.

The framework: TEACH

(Depth: references/the-teach-framework.md.)

  • T — Target one teachable thing: one process/point/next-step; flashcard not chapter; useful + within real expertise; if it can't be taught well in one piece, split into a series.
  • E — Earn trust with accuracy: be correct; cite sources; stay within expertise; YMYL → disclaimer + point to a pro; never fabricate steps/stats.
  • A — Arrange the lesson: hook/cover ("is this for me?" + payoff) → context/problem → one step/idea per unit → recap → specific CTA; structure step-by-step / PAS / myth-bust / data; 8–12 units, each earns its place.
  • C — Carry it to the right format: carousel (carousel-writer) / tutorial video (reels-script/ tiktok-script) / thread (thread-writer) / post (caption-writer); cover → hook-writer; visual → design-and-templates/image tools; CTA → lead-magnets-and-funnels.
  • H — Harvest saves + serialize: saves/sends = the top authority signal; serialize a weekly series (content-calendar); evergreen → repurpose across formats (content-recycling).

The reality (verify-quarterly)

Saves + sends are top-weighted 2026 signals — sends/DM shares rank highest per Mosseri, both far above likes; educational content earns saves best (carousels ~3× the save rate of Reels, highest engagement ~0.55% vs ~0.50%/0.41%, longest lifespan — Socialinsider/Buffer, attribute; tutorials inherently saveable + high completion). Teach one job well ("flashcard not chapter"). Structure: hook/cover (specific, <8–10 words) → context → one step/idea per unit → recap → specific CTA; structures step/PAS/myth/data; 8–12 units (12–20 deep), every unit earns its place. Format spread: carousel (save king) / tutorial video / thread / post — same lesson, route to the writer. CTAs: save / send to X / comment GUIDE (→ lead-magnets). Serialize + evergreen → repurpose; measure saves/sends, not likes. Accuracy gate: cite sources, stay within expertise, YMYL disclaimer + extra care, never fabricate: references/educational-content- 2026-reality.md. The teaching structures, the format-spread table, the accuracy/YMYL checklist, the CTA library, the WoopSocial flow + worked examples: references/structures-formats-and-accuracy.md.

Honest scope (never violate)

  • The agent picks the topic, structures the lesson, writes the teaching copy + CTA, and ensures accuracy + sourcing + YMYL care — then routes the build to the format writers, the cover to hook-writer, the visual to design-and-templates/the image tools, and lead-gen CTAs to lead-magnets-and-funnels.
  • WoopSocial publishes + schedules the series. It does NOT verify accuracy, generate the asset, or teach.
  • Accuracy is non-negotiable (wrong info destroys authority); cite sources; stay within expertise; YMYL → not-professional-advice disclaimer + point to a pro; never fabricate steps/stats or pad; saves/sends = the metric. (Scope, distinctions + connections: references/scope-and-connections.md.)

Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)

educational-content-and-how-to (this) = the teaching ANGLE/substance (what to teach + how to structure a lesson, across formats) · carousel-writer = the carousel FORMAT (they pair — this decides the lesson, carousel-writer builds the slides) · reels-script/tiktok-script = the video format · thread-writer = the thread format · storytelling-and-narrative = narrative craft (story vs didactic) · content-pillars = which topics · hook-writer = the cover/open (pairs) · data-and-original-research = producing original data · lead-magnets-and-funnels/social-selling-and-dm = the comment-to-DM CTA.

Where this connects

Reads first: brand-profile + audience-research + content-pillars. Feeds: the format writers (the lesson → the carousel/video/thread/post), hook-writer (the cover), content-calendar (the series), design-and-templates/image-prompt (the visuals). Pairs with: data-and-original-research (teach with original data), social-seo/ai-search-optimization (how-to is highly indexable + citable in search/AI answers), lead-magnets-and-funnels (the comment-GUIDE CTA). Publishes via: the format writer's output → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial. Measure with: native + analytics-and-reporting on saves/sends/ completion (never fabricated). Accuracy stays with the human/expert.

Definition of done

A lesson that teaches one genuinely useful thing completely (flashcard not chapter), within the brand's real expertise, structured as hook/cover (is-this-for-me + a specific payoff) → context → one step or idea per unit → recap → a specific CTA (save / send to X / comment GUIDE), using the right structure (step-by-step / PAS / myth-bust / data) at 8–12 units where every unit earns its place; accurate and sourced, within genuine expertise, with a not-professional-advice disclaimer + a pointer to a qualified pro for any YMYL topic and nothing fabricated; carried to the right format via the format writer, the cover to hook-writer and visuals to the design tools; serialized into a series in the content-calendar and published via WoopSocial; measured on saves/sends, not likes; correctly distinguished from carousel-writer, the other format writers, and storytelling-and-narrative.
