Load Context First
Before executing this skill, read the following files from the project folder if they exist:
- USER.md — who the user is, how they think, how they work
- BUSINESS.md — their business, products, positioning, brand voice, content strategy
- ICP.md — their ideal customer, their language, their fears, what makes them buy
- Voice or brand voice skill — look for any installed skill related to voice, tone, or brand voice and apply it automatically
- Any additional context provided by the user in this session
Use all context silently. Do not reference or summarize files unless asked.
Content Map
Purpose: Transform an IP map (or list of topics/assets) into a detailed 4-week content plan. Every piece of content maps back to a specific intellectual property asset, ensuring consistency and strategic coverage.
When to Activate
Use this skill when:
- User has an IP map and wants a content plan built from it
- User wants a month of content planned out
- User mentions "content map", "content plan from IP", or "month of content"
- User has stories, frameworks, and topics they want to turn into a publishing calendar
Required Input
- IP Map (from the ip-mapper skill) OR a list of topics, stories, and frameworks
- Platforms the client publishes on
- Publishing cadence (or let this skill recommend one)
- Any upcoming launches, events, or themes to plan around
Process
Step 1: Analyze Available IP
Review the IP map and categorize assets by:
- Freshness — Has this been used recently? Never? Overused?
- Depth — Is this a full newsletter topic or a social post?
- Audience stage — Does this attract new readers, nurture existing ones, or convert?
- Platform fit — Which format/platform suits this asset best?
Step 2: Build the 4-Week Plan
Each week follows a content rhythm:
- 1 Main Piece — Newsletter, long-form article, or video (the hub content)
- 3 Social Posts — Platform-native posts derived from or related to the main piece
- 1 Substack Note / Quick Hit — Short-form insight to keep presence between main pieces
Weekly theme: Each week anchors on one IP asset (a framework, story, or topic area) and explores it from multiple angles.
Step 3: Map Every Piece to IP
Every content piece must trace back to:
- A specific story, framework, opinion, or topic from the IP map
- A clear angle (which content lens: story, observation, contrarian, how-to, etc.)
- A target audience stage (awareness, trust, conversion)
