## WHAT THIS SKILL DOES

Designs complete content systems:
- **Strategy** — Who, what, where, when, why of content
- **Pillars** — Core themes that define your content
- **Calendar** — Publishing schedule and cadence
- **Formats** — Types of content (long-form, social, video, etc.)
- **Distribution** — Where content lives and how it spreads
- **Monetization** — How content generates revenue

## HONEST VALUE
