Use when producing any customer-facing deliverable: pricing emails, blog posts, landing pages, docs, support replies, announcements, PR descriptions, onboarding copy, or any writing where the words matter. Can be invoked standalone or called by other SEO skills (readability, authority, drafting) as their writing process. Examples: 'write this email', 'draft this announcement', 'help me write this', 'writing framework', 'apply the writing process'.

SEO Writing Framework
The process for producing any deliverable that a real person will read.
Works for pricing emails, blog posts, landing pages, docs, support replies,
announcements, or anything where the words matter.
Important: Run with Claude Opus 4.6.
The core problem
LLMs generate things that look good. But looking good is not the same as
being good. A polished email that says the wrong things is worse than a rough
email that says the right things.
The output will be grammatically correct, professionally structured, and
completely miss the point. You can't catch this unless you know what the
reader needs to hear.
Inputs
$deliverable: What you're writing (pricing email, blog post, landing page, etc.)
$audience: Who's reading it (customers, developers, first-time visitors, etc.)
$register: persuasive or explanatory (see below). If not given, infer it and say which one you picked.
Register
Some craft moves work on a landing page and read as slop in a support reply.
Pick the register before drafting, because it decides which ones are allowed.
Persuasive: landing pages, launch emails, marketing copy, headlines,
comparison pages. The reader hasn't decided to care yet. Curiosity gaps and a
deliberate ending are allowed, within the limits in good-writing-fundamentals.
Explanatory: docs, support replies, changelogs, pricing and policy emails,
technical posts, announcements of changes. The reader already has a question.
No curiosity gaps, no kicker. End on the last concrete point or the next action.
The banned words and hard-banned patterns apply in both.
Steps
1. Research real examples
Before writing anything, find 3-5 real examples of how good companies
or people have written the same type of thing.
Pricing email? Look at pricing update emails from SaaS companies you
respect. How do they structure the message? How much do they reveal?
How do they frame the change?
Blog post? Read the top-ranking posts for the target topic. What works?
What's missing? What would you want to read?
Support reply? Look at previous replies to the same type of request.
What actually resolved it?
Landing page? Look at competitors and best-in-class pages in the category.
What do they say first? What do they leave out?
Use WebSearch to find examples. Use the codebase to find previous versions
if they exist. If the user has a voice guide in AGENTS.md or VOICE.md,
read it.
Never draft from nothing. LLM output without research input is generic
at best, wrong at worst.
Success criteria: 3-5 real examples collected. Voice guide loaded if it exists.
2. Draft with examples as reference
Give the examples to the LLM as context alongside:
The register (persuasive or explanatory), which decides the craft rules
The voice guide (how the brand sounds)
The specific context (what's actually happening, what changed, what's new)
Who's reading this and what they need to walk away understanding
What the reader should do next (clear call to action)
The draft will look good. That's the trap.
Success criteria: First draft exists. Do not ship it.
3. Switch hats to the reader
Read the draft as the person receiving it. Not as the person who wrote it.
Ask:
Does the reader understand the main point in the first 2 sentences?
If it's a change (pricing, feature, policy): do they know what changed,
why, and what to do about it?
If it's educational (blog, docs, explainer): does every sentence make
sense to someone who's never seen this product?
Is anything confusing, vague, or leaving the reader with questions?
Would the reader feel respected? Or talked down to? Or marketed at?
If you can't answer these, the draft needs work.
Success criteria: You can articulate what the reader walks away understanding.
Human checkpoint: If the deliverable is high-stakes (pricing, legal, public announcement), present the draft and your reader-hat analysis to the user before proceeding.
4. Edit with your own voice
The LLM draft will have:
Phrases nobody would say out loud ("it's worth noting that", "in this regard")
Hedging that weakens the point ("it might be worth considering")
Em dashes used as a crutch for weak sentence structure
Overly formal tone where casual is appropriate
Edit these out. Replace with how the founder or brand actually sounds.
Read it out loud. Not in your head. Out loud. 90% of awkward phrasing
is caught by hearing it. If a sentence sounds weird when spoken, rewrite it.
The full pattern list lives in good-writing-fundamentals (words to cut, patterns to cut).
That skill is the canonical inventory. The table further down this file is the
short version for drafting; don't maintain a second copy of the long one.
Success criteria: No LLM-isms remain. Sounds like a person wrote it.
5. Run the slop gate
Run good-writing-fundamentals on the draft in detect mode with the register you picked.
It returns named patterns with quoted lines, not a score.
Fix everything it names, then re-run until it comes back clean. This is a
pass/fail gate, not a judgment call: a draft that still trips patterns does not
proceed to scoring.
Two things the gate is not allowed to do:
Cut character to hit a word-count target. Cutting is proportional to the
actual slop.
Rewrite a weak ending into a better metaphor. Weak endings get deleted, and
the piece ends on the clearest concrete sentence already in it.
Success criteria: good-writing-fundamentals detect returns no findings.
6. Score and revise loop
Score the deliverable against the rubric (see below). If it scores below
90%, identify the weakest criteria, revise targeting those, and re-score.
Repeat until 90%+.
This is the step that makes the framework a loop, not a one-shot process.
Most first revisions land around 70-80%. Two to three revision passes
usually get to 90%+.
Success criteria: Deliverable scores 90%+ on the rubric.
Craft principles
These go beyond "don't use LLM-isms." They're what separates writing that
works from writing that's just correct.
Write the way you talk
The test: read it back. Does it sound like someone talking inside your head?
Not a press release. Not a committee. A person. If it reads like corporate
communications, rewrite it in the voice you'd use explaining it to a friend.
Vary sentence length
Don't just write short sentences. Monotonous length in either direction is
bad. Some sentences should be longer and descriptive, painting a picture, and
others should be much shorter. The variation creates rhythm. Without it, the
reader's brain turns off.
The limit: never stack three or more fragments in a row. Two consecutive
one-word sentences read as emphasis. Four read as AI drama.
Cut what doesn't earn its place
After your draft is done, remove every word that isn't doing work. No
redundancy, no waste. If a sentence doesn't add information or advance the
point, delete it.
A bloated first draft usually loses about 30%, which is where the old "cut 30%"
rule came from. Treat that as a typical yield, not a quota. A draft that's
already tight loses almost nothing, and cutting to hit a number is how voice
gets stripped out.
Headlines do 80% of the work
Formula: action verb + specific outcome + timeframe or contrast.
"Ship your startup in days, not weeks." Write at least five headlines
before picking one. One will outpull the others by 2-10x.
Opening lines have one job
Get them to read the second sentence. Lead with a direct challenge,
a scene-setting story, a specific result, or a confession. Never open
with "In today's fast-paced world." Never open with "Let's dive in."
The So What Chain
Go three levels deep until you hit something emotional or financial.
"Fast database" > "queries load fast" > "users don't bounce" >
"you stop waking up stressed about churn." Write from the bottom.
Most copy dies at level one. The feature, not the outcome. Always ask
"so what?" until you can't anymore.
Pain quantification
Vague problems feel unsolvable. Specific ones feel fixable. Do the math.
"4 hrs for emails + 6 hrs for landing page = 22+ hours of headaches"
beats "launching is hard."
Open loops (persuasive only)
Tease without revealing. "But that's not even the best part." Open loops keep
readers moving because the brain wants to close them.
Rules: persuasive copy only, two per page maximum, and every one gets closed on
the same page. An open loop you don't close is a bait line. Never phrase one as
a faux-insight setup ("here's what nobody tells you") — that's slop in any
register.
In explanatory copy, zero. The reader already has a question; withholding the
answer is just friction.
Conflict and context
All great writing alternates between opening a question (conflict) and
answering it (context). The pattern is: "this happens, therefore this
happens, but then this happens." Not: "and then... and then... and then..."
which just piles on detail and loses attention.
Your lens
What's your unique perspective on this topic? The less common it is, the
more the reader engages. "Here's how to do SEO" is boring. "Every agent
manager is macOS only, we fixed that" is a lens.
The last dab
Don't trail off with a summary paragraph that restates what they just read. The
reader was just there.
In persuasive copy, end with something the reader remembers, and keep it
concrete: a callback to a specific thing you named earlier, a real result, a
clear action. Not a metaphor, not an aphorism, not a mic drop. If the ending you
wrote is "deep," delete it rather than polishing it, and end on the clearest
concrete sentence already in the draft.
In explanatory copy, end on the last concrete point or the next action. No
kicker at all.
Testimonials (when using them)
Structure: before state + action + specific outcome + timeframe + emotion.
"I wanna cry" beats "Great product!" A good testimonial has the
transformation visible in one sentence.
Rules
Never draft from nothing. Research first. Examples first. Context first.
Never ship a first draft. Even if it looks good. Especially if it looks good.
Read it out loud. If it sounds weird when spoken, rewrite it.
The LLM is a research tool and a drafting tool. It is not the writer.
Looking good is not being good. Polish doesn't fix wrong messaging.
Em dashes are rationed. None in short copy. One or two in a long draft, and only when they clearly beat a comma, colon, period, or parentheses. Never as a rhythm crutch.
No generic enthusiasm. "Exciting" and "thrilled" say nothing.
Banned words. The full list is in good-writing-fundamentals. If it sounds like a textbook, rewrite it.
Vary sentence length. Short is good. Monotonous is bad. Same-length paragraphs scream AI. Three or more fragments in a row is its own kind of slop.
Name the pain. Describe the problem the thing solves, not the thing itself.
Cut what doesn't earn its place. Usually about 30% of a first draft. That's a typical yield, not a quota, and never a reason to cut character.
Be authentic. "You are getting it from the engineer who built it, not the marketing person." A little tongue in cheek is good.
Write 5 headlines, pick 1. One will outpull the others by 2-10x. Never go with the first one.
Go three levels deep. Feature > outcome > emotional/financial impact. Write from the bottom.
Pick the register first. Persuasive and explanatory copy get different craft rules.
Pass the slop gate before scoring.good-writing-fundamentals detect has to come back clean.
Common LLM failures to watch for
Failure
What it looks like
Fix
Filler phrases
"It's worth noting that"
Delete. Just say the thing.
Hedging
"It might be worth considering"
Either say it or don't.
Generic enthusiasm
"We're thrilled to announce"
Say what changed and why it matters.
Feature listing
"Includes X, Y, and Z"
Run the So What Chain. What problem do they solve?
Passive voice
"The update was deployed"
"We deployed the update."
Vague benefits
"Improved performance"
Quantify: "Pages load 2x faster."
Level-one copy
"Fast database"
Go deeper: "you stop waking up stressed about churn."
Textbook opening
"In today's fast-paced world"
Lead with a challenge, story, result, or confession.
Same-length paragraphs
Every paragraph is 3 sentences
Vary the length. One short sentence, then a longer one. Rhythm is the tell.
Audience mismatch
Using jargon for non-technical readers
Use the words the reader would use.
Binary contrast
"It's not a tool. It's a system."
State the second half directly.
Faux-insight setup
"What nobody tells you about X"
Cut the setup, make the claim stand alone.
Colon reveal
"The best part: it learns."
Rewrite as a plain sentence.
Superficial analysis
"...highlighting the team's commitment"
Say the actual consequence for the reader.
Importance puffery
"marks a pivotal moment"
State the fact, let the reader judge.
Weasel attribution
"experts agree," "studies show"
Name the source or cut the claim.
Fake-strong verbs
"serves as a centralized hub for"
"Tracks sponsors, drafts, and due dates in one place."
Synonym cycling
agent, then assistant, then tool
Repeat the right word.
Fake-profound kicker
A metaphor as the last line
Delete it. End on the clearest concrete sentence.
good-writing-fundamentals holds the full inventory with before/after rewrites. This table is
the drafting-time short list.
Scoring rubric
After writing (and after each revision), score the deliverable against this
rubric. Must hit 90%+ to ship.
Criteria are split into two tiers:
Universal (2x weight): applies to every deliverable, always matters
Craft (1x weight): matters for good writing but some are more relevant
to certain deliverables than others
Universal criteria (0-10 each, weighted 2x)
These are non-negotiable for any deliverable.
#
Criterion

2x
Reads like someone talking inside your head
Reads like a committee or AI wrote it

5
Clarity
2x

Criterion 4 is a gate, not a dial. If the step 5 slop gate is still returning
findings, the draft isn't ready to score at all. Go back to step 5.
Craft criteria (0-10 each, weighted 1x)
These elevate writing from correct to compelling.

How to score
Universal (6 criteria x 10 pts x 2 weight = 120 max):
Research-derived: 9/10 x2 = 18
Sounds human: 8/10 x2 = 16
Reader perspective: 7/10 x2 = 14 ← needs work
No LLM-isms: 9/10 x2 = 18
Clarity: 8/10 x2 = 16
Every word essential: 6/10 x2 = 12 ← needs work
Craft (6 criteria x 10 pts x 1 weight = 60 max):
Hook: 9/10 x1 = 9
Sentence rhythm: 8/10 x1 = 8
Conflict/context: 7/10 x1 = 7
Authentic voice: 8/10 x1 = 8
The ending: 7/10 x1 = 7
Diverse options: 8/10 x1 = 8
Total: 141 / 180 = 78% → not ready
Focus: cut more words (criterion 6), sharpen reader
perspective (criterion 3)
The revision loop
Score every criterion after each draft
If below 90%, identify the lowest-scoring criteria
Revise targeting those weaknesses specifically
Re-score
Repeat until 90%+
Most first revisions land 70-80%. Two to three passes get to 90%+.
Presenting diverse options
Before finalizing any deliverable, present 2-3 distinct options. Not
variations of the same thing: genuinely different approaches, angles, or
framings. Let the user (or the calling skill) pick the strongest one,
or combine elements from multiple options.
This applies to: headlines, opening hooks, email framings, page structures,
blog angles, comparison approaches. If there's only one obvious way to write
it, you haven't explored enough.
