Blog Brief Generator: Content Planning

Generates comprehensive content briefs that guide blog writing for maximum impact on both Google rankings and AI citation platforms.

Reference documents:

• references/content-templates.md: template selection criteria
• references/distribution-playbook.md: channel-specific distribution tactics
• references/internal-linking.md: link architecture patterns
• skills/blog/references/research-quality.md - 5-dim quality rubric, pre-flight trap classes, freshness floors (v1.8.0; cross-skill ref lives in the orchestrator's references dir)
• skills/blog/references/synthesis-contract.md - 6 LAWs for synthesis output (v1.8.0)

Auto-loaded inputs (v1.8.0)

When DISCOURSE.md is present at the project root (produced by /blog discourse), load it before starting brief generation. Use the discourse brief's "What's NEW" themes, "Consensus" themes, and "Contrarian takes" sections to enrich the competitive landscape and information-gain sections of this brief. Cite from DISCOURSE.md using the same inline [name](url) pattern. If DISCOURSE.md is absent, behavior is unchanged.
