Content and Copy

Write or edit content that serves a specific reader and goal. Stack-agnostic. This skill is for general content production. Specialized skills exist for landing pages (landing-page-copy) and email (email-sequences).


When to use

  • Writing a blog post or article
  • Drafting website copy (homepage sections, about, services)
  • Editing existing content for voice or clarity
  • Writing how-to guides, listicles, or explainers
  • Producing knowledge base or help center articles
  • Adapting brand voice to a specific piece

When NOT to use

  • Landing pages with conversion goals (use landing-page-copy)
  • Email campaigns or sequences (use email-sequences)
  • Brand voice definition (use brand-voice)
  • SEO keyword research (use seo-keyword)
  • Content strategy and planning (use content-strategy)

Required inputs

  • The piece to be written or edited
  • The target reader (specific audience segment)
  • The goal of the piece (inform, convert, rank, retain, entertain)
  • The brand voice (or willingness to define it)
  • Length target and any structural constraints

If brand voice is undefined, run brand-voice first or use a working voice and document it as you go.


The framework: 5 dimensions

Strong content is strong on all five. Weakness on any one drags the rest down.

The opening earns the read. Most readers decide whether to continue within 3 to 5 seconds.

Strong hooks do one of:

  • Promise specific value. "By the end, you'll know exactly which X to pick for your situation."
  • Surface a tension. "Most advice on X is wrong. Here's why."
  • Open a loop. A question or scenario the rest of the piece resolves.
  • State a contrarian point. Provided you can defend it.
  • Show, don't summarize. A specific moment or scenario the reader recognizes.
