cf-brief: Research & Knowledge for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Generate a research-backed content brief from a keyword or topic — keyword data with volume and difficulty, top-5 competitor and E-E-A-T analysis, search-intent classification, audience pain points, a section-by-section outline with word counts and citation targets, plus SEO and AEO/GEO strategy (AI Overview status, answer-block map, entity list). Triggers on \"/contentforge:cf-brief\", \"write a content brief\", \"keyword research for this topic\", \"what should this article cover\", \"analyze competitors before we write\". Uses the researcher agent with Ahrefs/Similarweb MCPs when connected (labeled heuristic estimates otherwise) and aligns terminology to a brand profile when --brand is given. Produces a plan, not the article — feed it to /contentforge:create-content via --brief.

Content Brief Generator

Generate a comprehensive, research-backed content brief from a keyword or topic. The brief includes keyword data, competitor content analysis, search intent classification, audience pain points, a recommended outline, and an actionable SEO strategy — everything a writer needs to produce high-ranking content on the first draft.

When to Use

Use /contentforge:cf-brief when:

You need a structured content brief before starting production with /contentforge:create-content
You want data-driven keyword research to inform topic selection
You need to analyze competitor content to find gaps and differentiation angles
You're planning a content calendar and need briefs for multiple upcoming pieces
A client or stakeholder requires a brief for approval before production begins
You want to understand search intent before committing to a content type

For direct content production (brief + draft in one step), use /contentforge:create-content instead. For multiple briefs, run /contentforge:cf-brief once per topic.

What This Command Does

Keyword Research — Primary keyword analysis with search volume, keyword difficulty, related and semantically adjacent terms, and long-tail opportunities
Competitor Content & E-E-A-T Analysis — Analyze top 5 ranking pages for word count, structure, key points covered, content gaps, unique angles, and E-E-A-T signals (author credentials, original research, first-hand experience)
Search Intent Classification — Determine whether the query is informational, commercial, transactional, or navigational, and recommend content type accordingly
Audience Pain Points & Questions — Map target audience needs, common questions, forum discussions, and "People Also Ask" patterns
Recommended Outline — Generate a structured outline with title options, section descriptions, word count allocations, and citation targets per section
SEO Strategy — Keyword placement plan, meta title/description recommendations, internal linking opportunities, featured snippet potential, and schema markup suggestions
AEO/GEO Strategy — AI Overview presence check, citation-worthiness checklist, entity consistency, answer-block recommendations, honest llms.txt note (not a ranking/citation signal)
Success Metrics — Define measurable goals: target word count, minimum citations, readability target, quality score goal (8.5+)

Required Inputs

Minimum Required:

Keyword or Topic — The primary keyword or topic to build the brief around (e.g., "AI in healthcare 2026", "best project management tools")
Target Audience — Who this content is for (e.g., "Healthcare CIOs", "Small business owners", "Marketing managers at B2B SaaS companies")

Optional:

Content Type — article, blog, whitepaper, faq, research_paper, video-script, case-study, newsletter (if not specified, the brief recommends the best type based on search intent)
Competitor URLs — 1-5 specific competitor pages to analyze (if not provided, top 5 SERP results are used)
SEO Goals — Primary goal: traffic (maximize organic visits), conversions (target bottom-of-funnel intent), or awareness (brand visibility and thought leadership)
Brand — Brand profile name to align voice/terminology recommendations in the brief
--no-mcp — Skip MCP-backed keyword/competitor lookups and build the brief from heuristic estimates instead (faster, lower fidelity)

How to Use

Interactive Mode (Recommended)

/contentforge:cf-brief

Prompts you for:

Keyword or topic
Target audience
Content type (or let the brief recommend one)
Competitor URLs (skip to use SERP top 5)
SEO goal (traffic / conversions / awareness)

Quick Mode (All Parameters)

/contentforge:cf-brief "AI diagnostics precision medicine" --audience="Healthcare Executives" --type=article --goal=traffic

With Competitor URLs

/contentforge:cf-brief "best CRM for startups" --audience="Startup founders" --competitors="https://example1.com/crm-guide,https://example2.com/best-crm" --goal=conversions

With Brand Context

/contentforge:cf-brief "cloud security best practices" --audience="IT Directors" --brand=AcmeTech --type=whitepaper

What Happens

Phase 1: Keyword Research (2-3 minutes)

Gather keyword data for the primary keyword and discover related opportunities.

Data Collected:

Primary Keyword: Search volume (monthly), keyword difficulty (0-100), CPC indicator, trend direction
Related Keywords: 10-15 semantically related terms with volume and difficulty (cover the topic's entities and subtopics naturally — do not treat these as terms to sprinkle for density)
Long-Tail Opportunities: 5-8 long-tail variants with lower difficulty and clear intent
Question Keywords: 5-10 question-format queries from "People Also Ask" and forums (these double as AEO answer-block targets in Phase 6.5)

MCP Integration:

Ahrefs (optional, HTTP): If connected, pulls real search volume, keyword difficulty, SERP features, and related keywords from the Ahrefs API. Data is more accurate and comprehensive than estimates.
Similarweb (optional, HTTP): If connected, pulls traffic estimates for competitor URLs and category benchmarks.
Without MCP: Uses web search analysis, SERP pattern analysis, and heuristic estimation for keyword metrics. Results are directionally accurate but less precise than API data.

For a sample keyword-research output transcript, read references/example-output-transcripts.md (in this skill's directory), section "Phase 1 — Keyword Research".

Quality Gate: Must identify primary keyword with volume estimate, 10+ related keywords, and 5+ long-tail opportunities.

Phase 2: Competitor Content Analysis (3-5 minutes)

Analyze top 5 ranking pages (or provided competitor URLs) to identify patterns, gaps, and differentiation opportunities.

For Each Competitor:

URL and Domain Authority: Page URL, estimated domain strength
Word Count: Total content length
Content Structure: H1/H2/H3 hierarchy and section topics
Key Points Covered: Main arguments, data points, examples used
Content Gaps: What's missing, outdated, or insufficiently covered
Unique Angle: What differentiates this piece from others
E-E-A-T Signals: Named author with credentials? Original data or first-hand experience? Cited primary sources? Review/update dates? These determine what your piece must match or beat to be citable by both Google and AI answer engines

Aggregate Analysis:

Average Word Count: Across top 5 results
Common Sections: Topics that appear in 3+ competitor pieces
Universal Gaps: Topics that NO competitor covers well
Content Freshness: Publication dates, last-updated dates
Format Patterns: Listicles vs. guides vs. research-style content

For a sample competitor-analysis output transcript, read references/example-output-transcripts.md (in this skill's directory), section "Phase 2 — Competitor Content Analysis".

Quality Gate: Must analyze at least 3 competitor pages with word count, structure, and identified gaps.

Phase 3: Search Intent Classification (1-2 minutes)

Classify the primary keyword's search intent and recommend the optimal content type.

Intent Categories:

Informational: User wants to learn (how-to, what-is, guide). Best content types: article, blog, whitepaper
Commercial Investigation: User is comparing options before a decision. Best content types: article, whitepaper, comparison guide
Transactional: User is ready to act (buy, sign up, download). Best content types: landing page, product page, FAQ
Navigational: User is looking for a specific page or brand. Best content types: FAQ, product page

Intent Signals Analyzed:

SERP composition (what types of pages rank?)
Query modifiers ("best", "how to", "vs", "buy", "reviews")
Featured snippet format (paragraph, list, table)
Ads presence and positioning
"People Also Ask" question types

For a sample search-intent classification transcript, read references/example-output-transcripts.md (in this skill's directory), section "Phase 3 — Search Intent Classification".

Phase 4: Audience Pain Points & Questions (2-3 minutes)

Map the target audience's needs, frustrations, and information gaps related to the topic.

Research Sources:

"People Also Ask" patterns from SERP
Forum discussions (Reddit, Quora, industry forums)
Review sites and comment sections
Social media conversations
Industry reports and surveys

Analysis Produces:

Top 5 Pain Points: Ranked by frequency and severity
Top 10 Questions: Questions the audience is actively asking
Knowledge Gaps: What the audience doesn't know they don't know
Desired Outcomes: What success looks like for this audience
Language Patterns: How the audience talks about this topic (terminology, tone)

For a sample audience pain-points/questions transcript, read references/example-output-transcripts.md (in this skill's directory), section "Phase 4 — Audience Pain Points & Questions".

Phase 5: Recommended Outline Generation (2-3 minutes)

Build a structured content outline that addresses audience needs, fills competitor gaps, optimizes for target keywords, and follows the content type template.

Outline Includes:

3 title options (SEO-optimized, with primary keyword)
Introduction hook strategy
5-7 main sections with descriptions and target word counts
Subsection detail where needed
Citation targets per section (which sources to use where)
Keyword placement map
Conclusion with CTA options

Before generating the outline, read references/example-output-transcripts.md (in this skill's directory), section "Phase 5 — Recommended Outline Generation", for a full worked example (title options, per-section word counts, keyword/citation targets, gap-filling notes) — reproduce this level of detail.

Phase 6: SEO Strategy (1-2 minutes)

Define the SEO approach for the content piece based on keyword data and competitor analysis.

Strategy Components:

Keyword placement plan (title, H1, first 100 words, 2-3 H2s, conclusion). Density is advisory only (~1-2% typically emerges from natural coverage) — quality gates check placements, not percentages. Never pad copy to hit a density number.
Meta title and meta description recommendations (2 options each)
Internal linking opportunities (suggest related content to link to)
Featured snippet optimization (format content for snippet capture)
Schema markup recommendations (Article is the workhorse). Recommend FAQ and HowTo markup for machine readability, not for rich results: Google deprecated HowTo rich results in 2023 and in 2023 restricted FAQ rich results to government and health sites. The markup still helps AI engines and other consumers parse the page — just never promise a SERP feature from it.
