description

content pillar definitions for your brand, label system, issue templates, and recording schedule — the reference schema for all content pipeline agents. Use when creating content issues, labeling pipeline items, checking pillar alignment, or referencing the recording schedule. Trigger phrases: "content pillars", "label system", "issue template", "recording schedule", "content pipeline labels", "create content issue", "pillar alignment".

Content Pillar Schema

Canonical reference for your content pipeline. All content agents reference this skill for consistent pillar definitions, labeling, and issue creation.

The 5 Content Pillars

All content ideas should align with one or more of these pillars:

#	Pillar	Topics	Label Color
1	🤖 AI / Agent	GitHub Copilot, Claude, Codex, AI agents, multi-agent systems, autopilot, agentic AI	Purple #A371F7
2	⚙️ DevOps / CI	GitHub Actions, CI/CD, agentic DevOps, automation, infrastructure-as-code	Green #1F883D
3	🔧 Tools / IDE	VS Code, developer tools, debugging, MCP, hooks, extensions	Blue #0969DA
4	📈 Strategy / Biz	Governance, security, best practices, enterprise adoption, productivity	Amber #BF8700
5	💻 Tech	.NET, Microsoft ecosystem, software updates, tutorials	Coral #FF7B72

Plus: Anything big in the broader tech/AI space that overlaps with your audience — even if it doesn't fit neatly into a pillar. If it's trending and relevant to developers, it's fair game.

Recording Schedule

• Monday mornings — Primary recording day
• Tuesday mornings — Secondary/overflow recording day
• Content ideas should reach status:ready by Sunday evening to be available for Monday recording
• When creating recording session calendar events, schedule them for 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Central

Content Pipeline Lifecycle

The {{CONTENT_REPO}} repo uses GitHub Issues as the content pipeline:

💡 Draft → ✅ Ready → 🎬 Recorded → ✂️ Editing → 📅 Scheduled → 🚀 Published

Label System

When creating or updating issues, always apply the correct labels:

Status (exactly one):

• status:draft — Idea captured, needs refinement
• status:ready — Research done, ready to record
• status:recorded — Raw content captured
• status:editing — Post-production in progress
• status:scheduled — Final content ready, publish date set
• status:published — Live on target platforms

Priority (exactly one):

• priority:hot-trend — Ship in 3-5 days (time-sensitive)
• priority:timely — Relevant within 1-2 weeks
• priority:evergreen — No expiration

Type (exactly one):

• type:tutorial, type:breaking-news, type:deep-dive, type:weekly-roundup
• type:comparison, type:review, type:strategy, type:quicktip, type:idea

Platform (one or more):

• platform:youtube, platform:tiktok, platform:linkedin, platform:x, platform:instagram

Topic — Add relevant topic labels from the pillar categories (e.g., github-copilot, devops, ai-agents, mcp).
