## Use this skill when - Working on seo content writer tasks or workflows - Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for seo content writer ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to seo content writer - You need a different domain or tool outside this scope ## Single-voice craft (do NOT parallelize) This skill produces ONE article in ONE coherent authorial voice. Do **not** fan out to parallel sub-agents and do **not** stitch sections written by different writers — tone seams, repeated transitions, and contradictory claims are the result. Write the whole piece yourself, top to bottom, holding a consistent point of view, reading level, and rhythm. Research may be gathered first, but the prose is single-author. Three craft upgrades to apply every time: 1. **Lock the angle before the first sentence.** State (to yourself) the one promise the article keeps and the single reader it serves. Every H2 must advance that promise — cut sections that merely pad word count. 2. **Open on a concrete, not a definition.** Worked example of a strong hook: > Weak: "Email marketing is an important channel for businesses today." > Strong: "Last quarter one re-engagement email reactivated 1,240 dormant subscribers — > here is the exact sequence, and why most teams send it too late." Lead with the stake, name the payoff, place the primary keyword inside the first ~50 words. 3. **One claim, one source.** Any statistic, quote, or "studies show" needs an attributable source the reader can check. No source available → soften to first-hand framing ("in our experience…") or drop the claim. Never invent figures, studies, or quotes. ## Output contract Always deliver, in this order: 1. The full article (target word count), publish-ready Markdown with H2/H3 hierarchy. 2. 3–5 title variations. 3. One meta description, 150–160 characters. 4. Key takeaways (3–6 bullets). 5. Internal-linking suggestions (anchor text + intent). 6. FAQ section when the topic warrants it. ## Verify before delivering (R-RUBRIC) Run this checklist against the draft and report pass/fail per line: - Primary keyword in title, first 50 words, ≥1 H2; density 0.5–1.5% (not stuffed). - Every statistic/claim carries a checkable source (no-hallucination guardrail). - Reading level grade 8–10; paragraphs ≤3 sentences; scannable formatting present. - Meta description within 150–160 chars and reflects the actual content. - One consistent voice end-to-end (no tonal seams); the locked angle is honored. - No fabricated examples, studies, or quotes. ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
