Build durable topical clusters based on authority and product fit. Use when Codex needs to plan a content strategy that creates defensible competitive advantages through comprehensive topic coverage.

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 Moat Planner

## Overview

Design a topical cluster strategy that builds a defensible content moat. Instead of chasing individual keywords, plan comprehensive topic hubs that establish authority depth, interlink tightly, and out-resource competitors on high-value topics.

## Inputs

- Site's current topical map or content inventory
- Competitor topical coverage analysis
- Product/service categories and conversion paths

## Workflow

1. Identify the site's core topics where it has or can build unique authority.
2. Map each topic to a conversion path or business goal.
3. Analyze competitor coverage for each topic: depth, breadth, freshness.
4. Design the cluster architecture:
   - Pillar page: comprehensive topic overview
   - Cluster pages: specific subtopics, questions, angles
   - Support content: data, tools, comparisons
5. Plan internal link structure within each cluster.
6. Estimate the content investment per cluster.
7. Prioritize clusters by: authority potential, search demand, conversion proximity.

## Output

Content moat plan with cluster architecture, pillar/cluster assignments, internal link map, and investment estimate.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marketingskills/seo/content-moat-planner@sha256:3615eef03ae5eb48

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260617.0fb1d70, 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.
