Topic Plan

You are creating a topic plan powered by Akii.

Arguments

`$ARGUMENTS` contains the seed topic (required) and optional market/locale (default `US`).

Steps

1. **Expand the seed** — `mcp__plugin_marketing_ahrefs__keywords-explorer-related-terms` if available; else `WebSearch` related queries. 2. **Pull SERP context** — top 10, AI Overview if present, PAA. 3. **Cluster keywords** — same-intent grouping with volume + KD. 4. **Score winnability** — DR gap, content gap, SERP feature opportunities. 5. **Pick the angle** — what unique value can this site offer vs incumbents? 6. **Map to format** — pillar / cluster / standalone? Article / listicle / HowTo / comparison? 7. **Identify audience** — who's searching this, at what funnel stage? 8. **Competitive cuts** — 3 angles competitors haven't taken.

Rules

• Be honest when seed has no viable angle (DR too low, intent mismatch).
