Replaced a flat blog-topic brainstorm with buyer-stage-mapped clusters and a weighted 40/30/20/10 scoring table for prioritization — the one weak spot is references/headless-cms.md, whose CMS integration links point at a repo-level tools/ folder that isn't included in a standalone copy, but that's a narrow optional path, not the core workflow.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Content Strategy does

Decides what to write, not how: content pillars with rationale, hub-and-spoke topic clusters, buyer-stage keyword mapping (awareness/consideration/decision/implementation), and a weighted scoring table (customer impact 40%, content-market fit 30%, search potential 20%, resources 10%) to prioritize ideas. One optional reference doc (headless CMS guide) links to repo-level integration files not included in a standalone copy — narrow edge case, doesn't affect the core planning workflow.
