Content Creation Skill
Oasis7 Workflow Binding
In oasis7, this skill is a content-format and copywriting aid, not the owner of
player promises, incident communication, release positioning, or community
strategy. When the content is external-facing, liveops_community must own or
verify the professional conclusion, and TPM must keep the work bound to the
same GitHub-backed task/worktree/PR chain.
Use this skill to shape the artifact after the task has a clear audience,
channel, factual basis, and approval boundary. Do not use it to invent product
claims, player commitments, metrics, endorsements, or release status.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- oasis7 liveops, community, release, site, or channel copy needs to be drafted,
adapted, or optimized
- the output needs SEO, headline, CTA, campaign-format, or channel-structure
guidance
- a
liveops_community slice needs reusable copy templates after it has set
the factual and audience boundary
Do not use this skill when:
- the task does not match the trigger conditions above
- the content would make external promises without
liveops_community review
- the request is product direction, release readiness, incident ownership, or
community strategy rather than copy drafting/adaptation

Content Type Templates
Blog Post Structure
- Headline — clear, benefit-driven, includes primary keyword (aim for 60 characters or less for SEO)
- Introduction (100-150 words) — hook the reader with a question, statistic, bold claim, or relatable scenario. State what the post will cover. Include primary keyword.
- Body sections (3-5 sections) — each with a descriptive subheading (H2). Use H3 for subsections. One core idea per section with supporting evidence, examples, or data.

Writing Best Practices by Channel
Blog
- Write at an 8th-grade reading level for broad audiences; adjust up for technical audiences
- Use short paragraphs (2-4 sentences)
- Include subheadings every 200-300 words
- Use bullet points and numbered lists to break up text
- Include at least one data point, example, or quote per section
- Write in active voice
- Front-load key information in each section
Social Media
- LinkedIn: professional but human, paragraph breaks for readability, personal stories and lessons perform well, 1,300 characters is the sweet spot before "see more"
- Twitter/X: concise and punchy, strong opening words, threads for longer narratives, engage with replies
- Instagram: visual-first captions, storytelling hooks, line breaks for readability, hashtags in first comment or at end
- Facebook: conversational tone, questions drive comments, shorter posts (under 80 characters) get more engagement for links
Email
- Write subject lines that create urgency, curiosity, or state clear value
- Personalize where possible (name, company, behavior)
- One primary CTA per email — make it visually distinct
- Keep body copy scannable: bold key phrases, short paragraphs, bullet points
- Test everything: subject lines, send times, CTA copy, layout
- Mobile-first: most email is read on mobile
Web (Landing Pages, Product Pages)
- Lead with benefits, not features
- Use "you" language — speak to the reader directly
- Minimize jargon unless the audience expects it
- Every section should answer "so what?" from the reader's perspective
- Reduce friction: fewer form fields, clear next steps, trust signals near CTAs
SEO Fundamentals for Content
Keyword Strategy
- Identify one primary keyword and 2-3 secondary keywords per piece
- Use the primary keyword in: headline, first paragraph, one subheading, meta description, URL slug
- Use secondary keywords naturally in body copy and subheadings
- Do not keyword-stuff — write for humans first
On-Page SEO Checklist
- Title tag: under 60 characters, includes primary keyword
- Meta description: under 160 characters, includes primary keyword, compels click
- URL slug: short, descriptive, includes primary keyword
- H1: one per page, matches or closely reflects the title tag
- H2/H3: descriptive, include secondary keywords where natural
- Image alt text: descriptive, includes keyword where relevant
- Internal links: 2-3 links to related content on your site
- External links: 1-2 links to authoritative sources
Content-SEO Integration
- Aim for comprehensive coverage of the topic (search engines reward depth)
- Answer related questions (check "People Also Ask" for ideas)
- Update and refresh high-performing content regularly
- Structure content for featured snippets: definition paragraphs, numbered lists, tables

Call-to-Action Best Practices
CTA Principles
- Use action verbs: "Get", "Start", "Download", "Join", "Try", "See"
- Be specific about what happens next: "Start your free trial" is better than "Submit"
- Create urgency when genuine: "Join 500 teams already using this" or "Limited spots available"
- Reduce risk: "No credit card required", "Cancel anytime", "Free for 14 days"
- One primary CTA per page or email — too many choices reduce conversions
CTA Examples by Context
- Blog post: "Read our complete guide to [topic]" / "Subscribe for weekly insights"
- Landing page: "Start free trial" / "Get a demo" / "See pricing"
- Email: "Read the full story" / "Claim your spot" / "Reply and tell us"
- Social media: "Drop a comment if you agree" / "Save this for later" / "Link in bio"
- Case study: "See how [product] can work for your team" / "Talk to our team"
CTA Placement
- Above the fold on landing pages (do not make users scroll to act)
- After establishing value in emails (not in the first sentence)
- At the end of blog posts (after you have earned the reader's trust)
- In-line within content when contextually relevant (e.g., a related guide mention)
- Repeat the primary CTA at the bottom of long-form pages
Guardrails
- Keep claims factual and channel-appropriate.
- Do not invent data, endorsements, or customer outcomes.
- Do not present this skill's formatting guidance as
liveops_community
approval or release readiness.
- Preserve source evidence for any factual claim, metric, date, availability,
or player-facing commitment.
