A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
SEO content has a reputation problem. Most of it is low-value -- keyword-stuffed, AI-sounding, says nothing new. It ranks for a month, then dies.
This skill creates content that ranks AND builds trust. Content that sounds like an expert sharing what they know, not a content mill churning out filler.
The goal: Would someone bookmark this? Would they share it? Would they come back?
If yes, Google will reward it. If no, no amount of optimization saves it.

If stale (>14 days) or missing, warn that market claims may be outdated.When the user asks "what should I write next?" — the answer follows seo-machine's conversion-intent-first publishing order, not "whatever has highest volume":
| Order | Pattern | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | /alternatives/[competitor] | Highest conversion intent — reader is already in market |
| 2 | /compare/[a]-vs-[b] | Be the third option in any two-vendor comparison |
| 3 | /for/[use-case] and /for/[audience] | JTBD without competitor name — high TP/volume ratio |
| 4 | Long-form playbooks (this skill's wheelhouse) | Authority + AI-citation + inbound link draw |
| 5 | Generic blog posts | Lowest conversion — defer until ~10 indexed pages exist |
If docs/seo-machine.md exists at the project root, route the user to that skill's Resume mode instead of writing standalone articles — the roadmap there already encodes the priority order. seo-content is the right tool for single articles and playbook-pattern long-form; alternatives/compare/use-case pages belong in seo-machine's programmatic sprint.

Create or enhance an existing brief from /keyword-research. Include: target keyword, secondary keywords, search intent, content type, target word count, audience, unique angle, key points, PAA questions, competitor gaps, internal links, CTA.
Structure based on content type. See references/content-structures.md for templates (Pillar Guide, How-To, Comparison, Listicle).

|---|---|---|
| Skipping Phase 5 (Humanize) to save time | Cut research depth before cutting humanization | Unhumanized content reads like AI slop — readers bounce, Google devalues it, and the brand takes a credibility hit. Content that sounds like a committee wrote it doesn't earn trust, links, or shares. |
| Skipping schema markup | Always add Article + FAQ JSON-LD — it takes minutes | Schema compounds over time: rich results, AI citations, and structured search features for the life of the content. Skipping it leaves free visibility on the table. |
| Keyword-stuffing headings | One keyword in H1, natural secondary keywords in H2s | Google detects keyword stuffing and users find it off-putting. If every heading reads like an SEO template, it's over-optimized. |
| Starting with a generic intro | Answer the search query in sentence one | "In today's digital world..." tells the reader nothing. The search query brought them here — if the value prop isn't instant, they bounce. |
