Write a research-backed content brief from a keyword or topic: intent, competitors, outline. "brief me on this topic".

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 Generator

Generate a comprehensive, research-backed content brief from a keyword or topic. The brief includes keyword data, competitor content analysis, search intent classification, audience pain points, a recommended outline, and an actionable SEO strategy — everything a writer needs to produce high-ranking content on the first draft.

## When to Use

Use `/contentforge:cf-brief` when:
- You need a **structured content brief** before starting production with `/contentforge:create-content`
- You want **data-driven keyword research** to inform topic selection
- You need to **analyze competitor content** to find gaps and differentiation angles
- You're planning a content calendar and need briefs for multiple upcoming pieces
- A client or stakeholder requires a **brief for approval** before production begins
- You want to understand **search intent** before committing to a content type

**For direct content production** (brief + draft in one step), use `/contentforge:create-content` instead.
**For multiple briefs**, run `/contentforge:cf-brief` once per topic.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add indranilbanerjee/contentforge/cf-brief@sha256:bd876e85b91220ea

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.d7af708, 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.
