content-brief

The content-brief skill provides a structured framework for planning, researching, and documenting SEO-optimized articles. Designed for content managers, SEO specialists, and technical writers, this tool bridges the gap between keyword research and the actual drafting process. It ensures that every piece of content created is aligned with search intent, competitive standards, and E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) principles. By automating the creation of comprehensive briefs, users can ensure consistency across editorial teams and significantly reduce the time spent on manual content planning.

• Primary and secondary keyword mapping to guide search engine optimization strategy.

• Automated extraction and integration of People Also Ask (PAA) questions to boost topical authority.

• SERP analysis integration, allowing users to benchmark word counts, content formats, and content gaps against top-ranking competitors.

• Structured markdown templates for H1/H2/H3 hierarchy planning and keyword placement.

• Built-in SEO checklist covering meta titles, readability metrics like Flesch Reading Ease, and internal linking strategies.

• E-E-A-T requirement definition to ensure content meets high-quality guidelines for Google and other search engines.

• Users should start by identifying the primary keyword and performing initial research to populate the brief. The tool functions as an interactive document that evolves throughout the content development lifecycle. Ensure the output is saved with the appropriate frontmatter headers for easy integration into existing CMS or project folders. Input variables typically include target keywords and competitor URLs; output is a complete content brief in markdown format, ready for assignment to content writers. Note that while the tool suggests word counts based on competitive averages plus 20%, it is crucial to adjust these based on specific business goals and audience needs rather than relying solely on automated metrics.
