What This Skill Does
Chains up to 3 agents in sequence:
- research-analyst — Generates a research brief on the topic
- editor-in-chief — Reviews the draft against voice, structure, SEO, and argument quality
- social-amplifier — Creates platform-specific distribution pack (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, email)
Users can enter at any stage or run the full pipeline.
How this differs from content-workflow: The content-workflow skill is a manual workflow guide with frameworks and checklists. This skill is the orchestration layer — it actually spawns subagents and manages the pipeline programmatically.
How to Use
/content-pipeline [topic or file path]
Full Pipeline (from scratch)
/content-pipeline "Why MCP is the new API"
Start from Existing Draft
/content-pipeline review ./drafts/article-draft.md
Social Pack Only
/content-pipeline distribute ./content/published-article.md
Workflow Stages
Stage 1: Research (optional — skip if draft exists)
- Spawn research-analyst agent with the topic
- Output:
./research-briefs/YYYY-MM-DD-topic-slug.md - User reviews brief, decides whether to proceed
Stage 2: Editorial Review
- Spawn editor-in-chief agent pointing at the draft/brief
- Output:
[draft-path]-review.mdsaved alongside the source - Agent provides: voice assessment, structure feedback, SEO evaluation, line-level notes, title variants
- User decides: publish as-is, revise, or iterate
Stage 3: Social Distribution
- Spawn social-amplifier agent pointing at the final content
- Output:
[content-path]-social-pack.mdsaved alongside the source - Generates: LinkedIn posts (2 variants), Twitter/X thread, email subject lines, pull quotes, hashtags
Configuration
Customizing Agents
The default agent chain uses Claude Code subagents with the Agent tool. To customize:
Pipeline Stage | Default Agent Type | Override With
Research | research-analyst | Any research/analysis agent
Editorial | editor-in-chief | Any editorial review agent
Distribution | social-amplifier | Any social content agent
Output Paths
Configure where each stage saves its output:
| Stage | Default Output Path |
|---|---|
| Research | ./research-briefs/YYYY-MM-DD-topic-slug.md |
| Draft | ./content/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md |
| Review | [draft-path]-review.md (alongside draft) |
| Social Pack | [content-path]-social-pack.md (alongside content) |
Publishing Cadence
Adapt the pipeline to your publishing schedule. Example cadence:
- Research: Monday/Tuesday
- Draft: Tuesday/Wednesday
- Review: Wednesday/Thursday
- Publish: Thursday/Friday
Pipeline State Management
The pipeline tracks which stages are complete via file existence:
- Research brief exists → Stage 1 complete
- Review file exists → Stage 2 complete
- Social pack exists → Stage 3 complete
Resume from any stage by pointing to existing files.
