How to use it
1. **Trigger it with content strategy language** — mention the job by name or ask for the deliverable this skill owns. 2. **Share product context up front** — ICP, offer, URL, constraints, and any metrics. If `.agents/product-marketing.md` (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`) exists, the skill will read it first. 3. **Let it run the assessment** — answer clarifying questions before asking for final copy/strategy. 4. **Request a concrete artifact** — brief, audit, page outline, sequence, scorecard, or launch checklist. 5. **Close the loop** — feed performance data back so the next iteration compounds.
**Typical sections it covers:** Before Planning, Searchable vs Shareable, Content Types, Content Pillars and Topic Clusters, Keyword Research by Buyer Stage, Content Ideation Sources, Prioritizing Content Ideas, Output Format.
If Claude does not auto-select it, say: “Use the Content Strategy skill (`content-strategy`)…”.

Prerequisites
- Claude Code, Claude.ai Skills, or another Agent Skills–compatible host
- Product/brand context (ICP, offer, URLs, constraints) for grounded outputs
- Optional: `.agents/product-marketing.md` or `.claude/product-marketing.md` in the repo
- Permission to install third-party skills — audit SKILL.md first
- Optional: analytics or ad-platform access when the task needs real performance data
Tips
- Keep triggers specific so Content Strategy fires only when that job is requested (avoids context tax).
- Load product-marketing context (ICP, voice, offer) before asking for final copy or strategy.
- Prefer one sharp deliverable per turn—brief, audit, or draft—then iterate with data.
- Audit `SKILL.md` and any scripts before production use; treat community skills as code.
- Pair with `copywriting` and `seo-audit` when the workflow spans channels.
