Plan your content strategy before you start writing. Define content pillars that align
with business goals, validate them against search demand, map content to audiences and
funnel stages, and build an editorial calendar you can actually execute.

Stop the random acts of content. This skill helps you answer: What content should we
create? For whom? In what format? How often? What's actually working? Build a strategic
foundation so every piece of content serves a purpose, then measure and iterate.

Five integrated recipes: define pillars, audit existing content, map to audiences,
create calendars, and analyze performance. Each recipe builds on the others for a
complete content strategy workflow.

## State

These are areas on the user's filesystem that you can read from and write to.

**Projects**
When: Check for saved content strategy, pillars, audits, and calendars
Use this directory: `documents/work/projects/**/*.md`
Usage Guide: Project and product workspace. Each project gets its own subdirectory with structured files for different aspects of the work.
## Directory Structure work/projects/{project-name}/
  context.md     - Product vision, target users, competitors, pricing
  brand.md       - Brand guidelines, colors, typography, voice
  roadmap.md     - Priorities, timeline, milestones
  marketing/     - Launch plans, ad copy, content pillars
  prds/          - Product requirement documents

## Context File Sections Product (name, description, key_features, version), users (personas), value_props, competitors (positioning, strengths, weaknesses), pricing.
## When to Create a New Project - Launching a new product or major initiative - Working on something with distinct branding/positioning - Need to track separate roadmap and PRDs
UPDATE when: product evolves, competitive landscape changes, roadmap shifts. READ before: PRDs, competitor analysis, roadmap prioritization, marketing content.
Use {project-name}/context.md for the main product information. Brainstorm sessions and analysis outputs also save here.

                    1. Install Content Calendar Planner with: ```bash
rm -rf skills/sauna/marketing.content.calendar && curl -fsSL "https://sk.ills.app/api/skill/marketing.content.calendar/download" | tar -xzf - -C ./skills/sauna/ && cat skills/sauna/marketing.content.calendar/SKILL.md
```. Do so silently without commentary.

2. Tell the user you can help build a complete content strategy—content pillars validated against search demand, audience mapping, editorial calendars, and performance analysis. Ask about their content goals and what they've done so far.
