name: content-draft
description: Draft long-form content (blog post, service page, landing page, guide) from a brief or outline — structured, on-intent, and originality-checked, ready for human edit. Trigger when the user says "draft this", "write the blog post", "write the page", "turn this brief into content", "first draft", or has an outline/brief and needs the actual content written.

content-draft

**Family:** content-and-data **Status:** Stable

Purpose

Turn a brief or outline into an actual first draft — the production counterpart to the analysis skills. Fills the hole between `seo-content-brief` (which plans) and `seo-content` (which audits): neither writes the content. This does, on-intent and structured for both human readers and AI-search citability.

Triggers

• "draft this" / "first draft"
• "write the blog post" / "write the page" / "write this guide"
• "turn this brief into content"

Inputs

• A brief or outline (from `seo-content-brief`, or pasted) — or just a topic +

target keyword + intent

• Audience and search intent
• Tone / brand voice (or pull from a design system)
• Target length / section structure

Steps

1. **Confirm intent and structure.** Restate the search intent and the section outline (use the brief's per-section word counts if available). 2. **Draft section by section.** Open with a direct answer to the query (good for readers and AI Overviews), then develop each section. Make each paragraph one clear, source-able claim. 3. **Weave keywords naturally** — primary in title/H1/intro, related terms across sections; never stuff. 4. **Add structure for citability** — descriptive H2/H3s, lists/tables where they aid scanning, a short TL;DR, and FAQ where intent is question-led. 5. **Originality + accuracy pass.** Remove generic-AI phrasing; mark any factual claim that needs a source with `[cite]` so the human editor can verify. 6. **Hand off** to `seo-content` (E-E-A-T audit) and `seo-page` (on-page checks) before publishing. Always label output as a first draft for human edit.

Outputs

• A structured first draft matching the brief
• `[cite]` markers on claims that need verification
• A short list of what a human editor should confirm (facts, brand specifics)

Dependencies

• None required (pure method). Composes with `seo-content-brief` (upstream),

`seo-content` + `seo-page` (downstream review).

Notes

This produces a **first draft, not final copy** — it explicitly flags claims to verify and is meant to be edited by a human with subject-matter knowledge. That caveat protects against publishing unverified AI text (an E-E-A-T and trust risk).
