When the user wants to plan a content strategy, decide what content to create, or figure out what topics to cover. Also use when the user mentions "content strategy," "what should I write about," "content ideas," "blog strategy," "topic clusters," "content planning," "editorial calendar," "content marketing," "content roadmap," "what content should I create," "blog topics," "content pillars," or "I don't know what to write." Use this whenever someone needs help deciding what content to produce, not just writing it. For writing individual pieces, see copywriting. For SEO-specific audits, see seo-audit. For social media content specifically, see social-content.

Quality
Discovery
89%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description with excellent trigger term coverage and clear boundary-setting against related skills. The explicit 'Use when' guidance and cross-references to adjacent skills make it highly functional for skill selection. The main weakness is that the 'what it does' portion could be more specific about concrete actions and deliverables beyond the general 'plan/decide/figure out' framing.
Suggestions
Add more specific concrete actions/deliverables such as 'build topic clusters, create editorial calendars, identify content gaps, map content pillars, prioritize content opportunities' to strengthen the specificity dimension.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | The description names the domain (content strategy/planning) and mentions some actions like 'plan a content strategy,' 'decide what content to create,' 'figure out what topics to cover,' but doesn't list multiple concrete specific actions (e.g., 'build topic clusters, create editorial calendars, map content pillars, identify content gaps'). | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (plan content strategy, decide what content to create, figure out topics) and 'when' with an extensive explicit trigger list and a 'Use this whenever...' clause. Also includes helpful boundary-setting with references to related skills. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms including 'content strategy,' 'what should I write about,' 'content ideas,' 'blog strategy,' 'topic clusters,' 'content planning,' 'editorial calendar,' 'content marketing,' 'content roadmap,' 'blog topics,' 'content pillars,' and the very natural 'I don't know what to write.' These are terms users would actually say. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Explicitly distinguishes itself from copywriting (writing individual pieces), seo-audit (SEO-specific audits), and social-content (social media content). The boundary 'deciding what content to produce, not just writing it' is a clear differentiator that minimizes conflict risk. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a strong, comprehensive content strategy skill that excels in actionability with concrete frameworks, scoring templates, and specific research methodologies. Its main weakness is the lack of an explicit sequential workflow with validation checkpoints—the process is implied but not clearly stepped out. The content could be slightly more concise by reducing some repetition between sections (e.g., hub/spoke appears in both Content Types and Content Pillars).
Suggestions
Add an explicit numbered workflow at the top (e.g., '1. Read context → 2. Gather missing info → 3. Research → 4. Ideate → 5. Prioritize → 6. Deliver output') with validation checkpoints between phases.
Consolidate the 'Hub and Spoke' content type section with the 'Content Pillars and Topic Clusters' section to reduce repetition and improve conciseness.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly comprehensive but includes some unnecessary elaboration. Sections like 'Content Pillars and Topic Clusters' repeat concepts already covered in 'Hub and Spoke,' and some explanations (e.g., what searchable vs shareable content means) could be tighter. However, it mostly avoids explaining things Claude already knows and stays focused on domain-specific frameworks. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides highly concrete, actionable guidance: specific keyword modifier formulas by buyer stage, exact scoring templates with weights, structured output formats, specific search queries for research (e.g., `site:reddit.com [topic]`), and clear content type formulas like '[persona] + [use-case]'. The prioritization scoring template is copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The skill has a clear implicit workflow (gather context → research → ideate → prioritize → output), but it's not explicitly sequenced as a numbered workflow with validation checkpoints. The 'Before Planning' section establishes prerequisites, and the 'Output Format' section defines deliverables, but there's no explicit 'if the user hasn't provided X, do Y' feedback loop or validation step between phases. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is well-organized with clear section headers, appropriate use of references (headless-cms.md), and well-signaled cross-references to related skills (copywriting, seo-audit, programmatic-seo, etc.). Content is structured for easy navigation with a logical hierarchy, and the references section provides one-level-deep pointers. | 3 / 3 |
