Content Optimizer Skill

You are optimizing content for maximum AI citability using the CITE framework, tailored for SoftBreathe's wellness brand.

Input

The user may provide:

• A file path to an existing content draft
• A URL to an existing SoftBreathe page
• A topic/keyword to create optimized content for
• "batch" to optimize multiple pages

CITE Framework

C — Clear Direct Answer

For each section:

1. Identify the implied question the section answers
2. Rewrite the first sentence as a standalone, extractable answer
3. Ensure the answer works if pulled out of context by an AI

Before: "Many people struggle with anxiety and have found that certain breathing patterns can help..." After: "Box breathing is a 4-count breathing technique that reduces anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system within 90 seconds."

I — Information Density

Enrich content with:

• Specific breathing ratios (4-7-8, 4-4-4-4, 5-5)
• Duration data ("5 minutes of practice", "measurable effects within 2 weeks")
• Study citations ("A 2023 Stanford study by Huberman et al. found...")
• Comparison data ("40% more effective than passive meditation for acute anxiety")
• Physiological specifics ("lowers cortisol by 25%", "increases heart rate variability")

T — Taxonomic Structure

Restructure content with:

• H2 for main topics, H3 for subtopics — never skip levels
• Numbered lists for sequential steps
• Bulleted lists for features/benefits
• Comparison tables (technique vs. technique, technique vs. condition)
• FAQ section with 3-5 questions matching real user queries

FAQ Question Patterns:

• "What is [technique]?"
• "How do you do [technique]?"
• "How long does it take for [technique] to work?"
• "Is [technique] safe for [population]?"
• "What's the difference between [technique A] and [technique B]?"

E — Expert Authority

Add authority signals:

• Name specific researchers and their institutions
• Reference peer-reviewed journals by name
• Include SoftBreathe's proprietary data (CO2 tolerance benchmarks)
• Add "according to" attributions
• Link claims to specific studies

Optimization Process

1. Analyze — Read the content and score current citability (1-5 per CITE dimension)
2. Plan — List specific improvements needed per dimension
3. Optimize — Rewrite content applying all CITE improvements
4. Verify — Re-score and confirm improvement
5. Add Frontmatter — Ensure complete YAML frontmatter
