SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writers and content teams often start articles without structured research, leading to missed keyword opportunities, duplicated competitor coverage, and unclear search intent. This Skill produces a complete, data-backed content brief from a single keyword or topic so production starts from an approved plan instead of guesswork. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Keyword and Competitor Research: Gathers search volume, difficulty, related and long-tail keywords, then analyzes the top 5 ranking pages for structure, gaps, and E-E-A-T signals, using Ahrefs or Similarweb MCPs when connected with labeled heuristic estimates otherwise. - Outline and Strategy Generation: Produces a section-by-section outline with word counts and citation targets, plus an SEO placement plan and an AEO/GEO strategy covering AI Overview status, answer-block mapping, and entity consistency. - Use Case: A marketing manager runs the brief on "AI diagnostics precision medicine" for healthcare executives, reviews the 7-section outline and competitor gap analysis, gets stakeholder approval, then feeds the brief directly into content production via the --brief parameter. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a content brief for your topic and target audience, for example: run /contentforge:cf-brief "best CRM for startups" with audience "startup founders" and goal conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions about cf-brief

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a content brief from a keyword?▼

Run /contentforge:cf-brief with your keyword or topic and target audience. The skill researches keywords, analyzes the top 5 competitor pages, classifies search intent, and outputs a structured brief with an outline, word counts, and citation targets.

What does a content brief include for SEO and AI search?▼

The brief includes a keyword placement plan, meta title and description options, featured snippet targets, schema recommendations, and an AEO/GEO section with AI Overview status per query, citation-worthiness items, and People Also Ask questions mapped to answer blocks.

Does the brief generator work without Ahrefs or Similarweb?▼

Yes. Without MCP connections it uses web search analysis, SERP pattern analysis, and heuristic estimation for keyword metrics. Results are directionally accurate but less precise, and estimated data is clearly labeled versus API-sourced data.

How do I use a content brief to write the actual article?▼

Pass the saved brief to /contentforge:create-content using the --brief parameter. The production pipeline then uses the brief's outline, keyword map, citation targets, and SEO strategy instead of running its own research phase.

What are the limitations of automated content briefs?▼

English keyword research is strongest, only one brief is generated at a time, and competitor analysis is limited to publicly accessible pages. The brief is a plan, not finished content, and still requires a production step to create the article.
