# SEO Article Finalizer

```bash
npx skills add https://github.com/peter-tu-zynkr/zynkr-skill-builder --skill seo-article-finalizer
```

The final leg of the SEO pipeline, corresponding to the flow-diagram step "article settings: backlinks and meta description". At this point the article content is already written and proofed (including the SEO/AEO review). This skill handles only the pre-publish technical settings: links, meta, schema. It **does not rewrite content**.

## Resources you'll use

> **Knowledge source**: The rubrics/templates used by this skill are read first from the SEO Knowledge Base's "01 Rubrics & Templates" (Drive, google-workspace MCP, searched by name); when unavailable, fall back to the local `./references/`. See the mapping table in `seo-article-pipeline/seo-pipeline-config.md`.

- **Link rules**: `./references/internal-link-rules.md`
- **meta / schema rules**: `./references/meta-schema-rules.md`
- **SEO knowledge-base folder ID**: `1ujQJSPjRcqkNd-BMGq68DmVldyr3lsJ2` (look at pillar pages / existing articles for internal links)

## Step 1 — Receive the article and Brief

Read the already-proofed article + `SEO_PACKET ▸ Brief` (to get the target keyword, CTA, and internal-link targets).

## Step 2 — Link suggestions

Per `./references/internal-link-rules.md`:
- Mark the paragraphs that can take **internal links** (pillar pages, related articles, the /consult B2B page).
- Mark the paragraphs suited to **backlinks / external citations** (third-party authorities, digital PR). Corresponds to "list which paragraphs can take links".

## Step 3 — meta description + schema

Per `./references/meta-schema-rules.md`:
- Write the meta description (includes the primary keyword, a hook, length-compliant). Corresponds to "add the meta description".
- Produce FAQ schema (using the FAQ from the outline stage) + Article schema.

## Step 4 — Human confirmation (HITL)

List the finalized settings (links · meta · schema · the 交付物 fields) for the user to confirm before you assemble the Doc.

## Step 5 — Assemble the publish-ready Google Doc

Build one markdown document and create it as a Google Doc — **this Doc is the artifact `seo-publish-article` reads**, so its shape matters:

- **Article body** — the proofed article, unchanged: the H1 title, the sections, and the FAQ.
- **A `## SEO 交付物` block at the very end** carrying the fields the publisher consumes:
  - `Slug`（英文 kebab-case）· `SEO title`（<title> / OG）· `Meta description`（含主關鍵字）· `Keywords` · `Category`（對應一個 CMS 分類）
  - 內部/外部連結建議（段落 → 目標頁／錨文字）· 結構化資料（FAQ + Article schema，附 JSON-LD）

Create it in the SEO working folder (e.g. the SEO hub `1ujQJSPjRcqkNd-BMGq68DmVldyr3lsJ2`, or your drafts area). **Do not** move it to "03 Published article" — that happens at publish time, in `seo-publish-article`.

```
import_to_google_doc(file_name="[SEO草稿] <title>", content=<assembled markdown>, source_format="md", folder_id=<working-folder-id>)
```

Return the Doc link.

## Step 6 — Hand off

Tell the user the Doc is publish-ready and hand it to **`seo-publish-article`**, which publishes it to the web, then archives the Doc into "03 Published article" and updates the SEO tracker. The EN flagship → `content-translator`.

## Outputs

A publish-ready Google Doc (article body + 「SEO 交付物」block) in the SEO working folder, ready for `seo-publish-article`.

## Limitations

Does not rewrite content or score (that's content-editor). Does **not** publish to the web, move the Doc to "03 Published article", or update the tracker — those are `seo-publish-article`'s job.
