Content Pipeline Workflow

When to use

• Writing a blog post, article, or documentation page from scratch (research → outline → draft → SEO → format → social promo).
• Producing platform-targeted content for blog, Medium, Dev.to, or project docs.
• Creating launch content for a product or feature release.

Step 1: Research

• WebSearch for existing content on the topic (top 5 results)
• Identify gaps — what's NOT covered well?
• Find data, statistics, examples to reference
• Check if project has existing content to build on

Step 2: Outline

Structure (adapt to content type):

• Hook — why should reader care? (1-2 sentences)
• Context — background needed to understand
• Main sections (3-5, each with a clear takeaway)
• Code examples / visuals where applicable
• Conclusion with actionable next steps

Present outline to user for approval before drafting.

Step 3: Draft

• Write in the voice/tone matching the brand
• Technical content: accurate, code-tested, no hand-waving
• Marketing content: benefit-driven, concise, scannable
• Include code blocks with language tags
• Add internal links to other project content if available

Step 4: SEO Optimization

• Target keyword in title, H1, first paragraph
• Related keywords in H2s and body
• Meta description: <155 chars, compelling
• Internal and external links (2-3 each)
• Image alt text

Step 5: Platform Formatting

• Blog/Next.js: MDX with frontmatter (title, date, tags, description)
• Medium: clean markdown, no custom components
• dev.to: frontmatter (title, published, tags, cover_image)
• Docs: follow existing docs structure and style

Step 6: Social Promotion

• Generate 2-3 social snippets (for social-post skill)
• Key quote or stat for sharing
• Thread-worthy breakdown if content is long
