---

ACCURACY RULES

When a batch mode is selected, return only the requested component(s).

---

Batch Output Options

Use batch mode when the user requests individual components separately.

Batch 1 — Blog Post Only

Full blog post from title to conclusion. No SEO metadata, schema, or image SEO.

Batch 2 — SEO Metadata

Yoast SEO elements only:

• Focus keyphrase
• SEO title
• Slug
• Meta description
• Social title
• Social description
• Suggested internal links
• Suggested external link types

Batch 3 — Image SEO

Image SEO assets only:

• Featured image concept
• Supporting image concepts
• Alt text, title, caption, description, and placement for each

Batch 4 — Schema Markup

JSON-LD schema only:

• FAQPage schema

---

SEO Section (Yoast)

Provide:

• Focus Keyphrase

---

Schema Markup

---

Best Practices

• Write short, direct sentences.

• Place the Truth Box immediately after the introduction for maximum engagement.
• Use #, ##, and ### for headings — never number them.
• Avoid hyphen bullets in the contents section.

---

Limitations

• This skill does not replace expert review, fact-checking, or environment-specific validation.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, or scope boundaries are unclear.
• Use this skill only for tasks that match the scope described above.

---

Security and Safety Notes

• This skill is limited to content generation. It does not execute shell commands or mutate system state.
• Ensure any generated JSON-LD is properly escaped before use in a programmatic context.

---

Common Pitfalls

Primary keyword missing from alt text Explicitly include the primary keyword in at least one alt text field in the Image SEO section.

AI-sounding or repetitive tone Revisit the Writing Rules. Shorten sentences, vary structure, and remove filler phrases.
