Write SEO and AEO-optimized long-form blog posts

Blog Writer Skill produces long-form blog posts and articles following a fixed structure designed for both traditional search engines (SEO) and AI answer engines (AEO). The skill outputs content with a mandatory section order including TL;DR summaries, definition blocks, FAQ sections, comparison tables (when comparing options), and internal linking placeholders. The structure is designed to support keyword targeting and AI extraction.

Use this skill when you need to write or revise a blog post, article, or long-form content piece targeting a specific search intent. Trigger it with phrases like "write a blog post", "create an article", "generate blog content", or "write a long-form post about". It works best when you have a clear primary keyword, target audience, and desired tone.

Do NOT use this skill if you expect guaranteed rankings or traffic - search performance depends on site authority, competition, content quality, and indexing factors outside the skill's control. Avoid using it for content that does not align with a recognizable search intent or problem.

You provide a JSON input specifying the topic, primary keyword, secondary keywords, target audience, tone (informational, conversational, authoritative, or persuasive), and word count (800-3000 words, default 1500). Optional inputs include cluster context from related content planning, internal link targets, product CTA, search intent evidence, and distribution platforms.

{
  "topic": "string - the main subject of the article",
  "primary_keyword": "string - exact keyword to rank for",
  "secondary_keywords": ["string", "string"],
  "target_audience": "string - who is reading this",
  "tone": "informational | conversational | authoritative | persuasive",
  "word_count": "integer - minimum 800, maximum 3000, default 1500",
  "cluster_context": "string - optional, paste content cluster output here",
  "internal_link_targets": ["string - page/post titles to link to"],
  "product_cta": "string - optional CTA and destination",
  "search_intent_evidence": "string - optional observed SERP/API evidence",
  "distribution_platforms": ["string - optional external platforms"]
}

The skill outputs a Markdown blog post following this exact section order: H1 title, TL;DR block, introduction, "What Is" definition section, "Why {Topic} Matters" section, "How {Topic} Works" main body with H3 subsections, "Practical Steps" section (if applicable), "Common Mistakes" section (if applicable), five FAQ entries, conclusion, internal links section, external links section, product CTA section, and external distribution notes. The structure includes mandatory elements: a TL;DR block after the H1, a clean definition sentence as the first line of the "What Is" section, at least one comparison table (if the topic involves comparing options), exactly five FAQ entries, bullet or numbered lists in at least two sections, and primary keyword placement in the H1, first 100 words, at least one H2, and meta description.

This skill receives output from the seo-aeo-content-cluster skill to inform which sub-topics to cover and which to leave for linked cluster articles. It feeds output to seo-aeo-content-quality-auditor for quality checks and seo-aeo-internal-linking for link structure optimization.

Content marketers, SEO specialists, and blog editors who need to produce search-optimized long-form content following a consistent structure. It is designed for teams managing content clusters and internal linking strategies, where each article must solve a specific problem and guide readers toward a relevant next step without unsupported sales pitches.
