How to author a content brief that actually guides a writer (human or AI) to produce a piece that ranks, converts, or both. Per-piece editorial brief: target keyword and cluster, search intent, audience and JTBD, heading structure, entity coverage for AEO/GEO, internal linking strategy, success criteria. The middle path between thin briefs (a keyword and a deadline) and thick briefs (a 4-page document nobody reads). Triggers on content brief, brief the writer, brief the article, brief…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Content Brief Authoring A senior content strategist's playbook for authoring per-piece content briefs that actually guide writers to produce content worth publishing. Most content briefs are some flavor of broken. The thin version is a keyword, a word count, and a deadline; the writer fills in everything else from scratch and the output is generic. The thick version is a 4-page document nobody reads, that the writer skims for the headline and the outline and ignores the rest. Either way, the brief failed at its job: making the writer's work easier and the output more predictable. This skill is the middle path. It defines the 12 fields that earn their keep in a content brief, the fields that bloat without helping, and the discipline of writing briefs that route a writer (human or AI) toward a content piece that ranks for its target keyword, gets cited by AI engines, converts the right reader, or whatever the success criteria say. It assumes you have decided what to write (see `content-strategy` for program-level decisions) and now you are briefing each piece. The piece itself gets written separately (see `content-and-copy`). …

How to install
mdr add rampstackco/claude-skills/content-brief-authoring@sha256:8d8cd445b4a3978fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.e5bc675, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
