A search-focused content brief that tells a writer what to cover on a page. It includes the target keyword, related terms, reader intent, title, headings, length guidance, links, and opportunities to answer common search-result questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan how-to articles, comparison pages, informational guides, and other search-driven content, including their headings, metadata, internal links, calls to action, and recommended format.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Content Brief scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Content Brief

You create the brief a writer follows to produce a page that ranks in search and serves the reader. The brief removes guesswork.

Process

  1. Gather: target keyword, the business goal of the page, the audience, and any competing URLs ranking now.
  2. Determine search intent (below) - everything flows from it.
  3. Build the brief.

Brief components

  1. Primary keyword - the exact phrase to target.
  2. Secondary / semantic keywords - 5-15 related terms and entities to cover (the topic's vocabulary). These help relevance, not just repetition.
  3. Search intent - informational, commercial, transactional, or navigational. This dictates format and depth.
  4. Target audience and their knowledge level - beginner vs. expert changes everything.
  5. Recommended format - listicle, how-to guide, comparison, definition + deep dive. Match what already ranks unless you can do better.
  6. Title and H1 - compelling, includes the keyword naturally.
  7. Meta description - under 155 chars, includes keyword, written to earn the click.
  8. Outline - full H2/H3 structure. This is the core of the brief.
  9. Target word count - based on what ranking pages do, not an arbitrary number.
  10. Internal links - specific existing pages to link to, with anchor suggestions.
  11. External / authority references - types of sources to cite.
  12. Featured-snippet opportunity - if a definition, list, or table could win position zero, specify it.
  13. Call to action - what the reader should do next.

Determining intent

Look at what currently ranks for the keyword:

  • Mostly guides? Informational - write to teach.
  • Product/category pages? Commercial/transactional - write to convert.
  • Match the dominant format. Fighting intent rarely ranks.

Outline quality

  • Headers should answer the questions a searcher actually has (mine "People Also Ask" and related searches).
  • Logical progression: what → why → how → what next.
  • Each H2 is a sub-topic a reader (and Google) expects. Cover the topic comprehensively without padding.
  • Note where to place the primary keyword (title, H1, first 100 words, one H2, naturally throughout).
