How It Works

  1. Understand Brief — Identifies content type, purpose, audience, tone, and constraints using content-generation skill
  2. Research & Outline (approval gate) — Structures the content with hook, main sections, key points, and CTA
  3. Write Draft (approval gate) — Creates engaging content with strong hook, clear language, and call to action
  4. Edit & Polish — Refines for clarity, removes filler, verifies tone, and proofreads

What's inside

4 step prompts, 1 settings table, 1 usage section, 1 how-it-works list

Change this for your project

  • Replace {{input}} with your actual content brief variable
  • Replace {{previous_output}} with the correct step output reference

Where it goes

Keep it in your repository where the agent or team that needs it will read it.

Worth borrowing

  • Approval gates between steps let a human review outlines and drafts before proceeding
  • Each step reuses the previous step's output as context for continuity
