Content Calendar Skill

This skill generates a structured content calendar from brand inputs. It produces ready-to-use calendar entries with topics, formats, channels, and opening hooks — usable for social media, blogs, newsletters, or multi-channel campaigns.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Brand or product name
  • Target audience (who are you trying to reach?)
  • Primary content goal (awareness / lead gen / retention / thought leadership)
  • Channels (e.g. LinkedIn, Instagram, newsletter, blog, X/Twitter)
  • Cadence (daily / 3x per week / weekly / monthly)
  • Timeframe (e.g. 4 weeks, Q2)
  • Brand pillars or themes (optional — if not provided, derive 3 from the product description)

Output Structure

1. Content Pillars (if not provided)

Derive 3–4 content pillars from the brand/product description. Each pillar = a recurring theme that anchors multiple posts. Label each one clearly (e.g. "Pillar 1: Industry Education", "Pillar 2: Product Stories").

2. Calendar Table

Produce a weekly table for each week requested. Format:

Date Pillar Topic Format Channel Opening Hook
Mon 7 Apr Education [Topic title] Carousel / Article / Short video / Thread LinkedIn [First sentence or headline of the post]

Rules:

  • Rotate through all pillars across the week — don't stack the same pillar on consecutive days
  • Match format to channel norms (e.g. carousels for Instagram, long-form for LinkedIn, threads for X)
  • Opening hooks must be specific and scroll-stopping — no generic openers like "Did you know..."
  • Flag 1–2 posts per week as "High Priority" — these are the cornerstone pieces worth boosting or repurposing
3. Repurposing Map

For each "High Priority" post, add one repurposing suggestion — e.g. "Turn this LinkedIn article into a newsletter section" or "Clip this video for an Instagram Reel."

Quality Checks

  • Every week has balanced pillar distribution
  • No two consecutive posts have the same format on the same channel
  • Opening hooks are specific (no generic openers)
  • Formats match platform norms
  • Repurposing map covers all High Priority posts

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not fill the calendar with generic topic placeholders — every entry must have a specific, usable topic and hook
  • Do not stack the same pillar or format on consecutive days — variety is required
  • Do not produce opening hooks that start with "Did you know" or other cliché openers
  • Do not ignore channel norms — formats must match the platform (no long-form threads for Instagram)
  • Do not skip the repurposing map for High Priority posts

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Build me a 4-week content calendar for [brand]"
  • "Create a social media plan for [product launch]"
  • "Give me a monthly editorial calendar for my newsletter"
  • "Plan my LinkedIn content for the next month"
