1	# Blog Calendar: Editorial Planning
2
3	Generates editorial calendars with topic clusters, publishing cadence,
4	freshness update schedules, content decay detection, template recommendations,
5	distribution planning, and seasonal hooks. Optimized for building topical
6	authority (Google) and maintaining citation freshness (AI platforms).
7
8	## Cross-reference
9
10	This skill operates at the FLOW Find stage. Before selecting topics, run
11	`/blog flow find` for keyword discovery, content prioritization, and audience
12	avatar prompts that should inform cluster selection and topic sequencing.
13
14	## Workflow
15
16	### Step 1: Understand the Blog
17
18	Gather context:
19	1. Niche/industry: What is the blog about?
20	2. Existing content: Scan for existing blog posts (Glob for .md, .mdx, *.html)
21	3. Publishing cadence: How often can they publish? (default: 2x/week)
22	4. Timeframe: Monthly or quarterly calendar?
23	5. Business goals: What should the blog drive? (traffic, leads, authority)
24
25	### Step 2: Topic Cluster Design
26
27	Design 3-5 topic clusters (pillar + supporting content):
28
29	```
30	Cluster: [Pillar Topic]
31	├── Pillar Page: [Comprehensive guide - 3,000+ words]
32	├── Supporting: [Subtopic 1 - 2,000 words]
33	├── Supporting: [Subtopic 2 - 2,000 words]
34	├── Supporting: [Subtopic 3 - 1,500 words]
35	├── Comparison: [X vs Y - 1,500 words]
36	└── FAQ: [Common questions - 1,500 words]
37	```
38
39	Each cluster should:
40	- Target a primary keyword theme
41	- Cover the topic comprehensively for topical authority
42	- Include varied content types (guides, comparisons, how-tos, listicles)
43	- Support internal linking between cluster pages
44
45	### Step 2.5: Content Decay Detection
46
47	Scan existing blog posts for `lastUpdated` or `date` fields in frontmatter.
48	Classify each post by staleness using these thresholds:
49
50	\| Traffic Level \| Stale Threshold \| At-Risk Threshold \|
51	\|---------------\|----------------\|-------------------\|
52	\| High-traffic posts \| >30 days since update \| >90 days \|
53	\| Medium-traffic posts \| >90 days since update \| >180 days \|
54	\| Low-traffic posts \| >180 days since update \| >365 days \|
55
56	Reference: 76% of top AI citations are from content updated within 30 days.
57
58	Output a decay report:
59
60	```
61	## Content Decay Report
62	\| Post \| Last Updated \| Days Stale \| Priority \| Action \|
63	\|------\|-------------\|-----------\|----------\|--------\|
64	\| [slug] \| [date] \| [N] \| Critical \| Refresh immediately \|
65	\| [slug] \| [date] \| [N] \| High \| Schedule this month \|
66	\| [slug] \| [date] \| [N] \| Medium \| Schedule this quarter \|
67	```
68
69	Priority levels:
70	- Critical: High-traffic post stale >30 days: refresh immediately
71	- High: Any post stale beyond its threshold: schedule this month
72	- Medium: Posts approaching their threshold: schedule this quarter
73	- Low: Posts within threshold: no action needed
74
75	### Step 3: Freshness Update Schedule
76
77	AI platforms heavily favor fresh content (76% of top citations updated within 30 days).
78
79	Plan update cycles:
80	- High-priority posts (traffic drivers): Update every 30 days
81	- Medium-priority posts: Update every 90 days
82	- Low-priority posts: Update annually
83	- Evergreen posts: Update when data changes
84
85	### Step 4: Seasonal & Trending Hooks
86
87	Research seasonal opportunities:
88	1. Industry events: Conferences, product launches, algorithm updates
89	2. Seasonal trends: Use WebSearch to check Google Trends for the niche
90	3. Annual reports: When do major studies release new data?
91	4. Algorithm updates: Google core updates (typically 3-4 per year)
92
93	#### Seasonal Trends Integration
94
95	- Map seasonal peaks to content production schedule
96	- Plan content 4-6 weeks before seasonal peaks for indexing lead time
97	- Create "evergreen with seasonal hook" content (e.g., "X Guide [Year]" updated annually)
98	- Track industry report release cycles:
99	- Ahrefs Annual State of SEO (typically Q1)
100	- Google Year in Search (December)
101	- HubSpot State of Marketing (Q1)
102	- Gartner Hype Cycle (August)
103	- Major conference dates in the niche
104	- Use WebSearch to validate timing of trends before scheduling
105
106	### Step 5: Generate the Calendar
107
108	#### Content Mix Formula
109
110	Apply the recommended content mix ratio:
111	60% new content / 30% freshness updates / 10% repurposed content
112
113	\| Cadence \| Monthly Posts \| New \| Refreshes \| Repurposed \|
114	\|---------\|-------------\|-----\|-----------\|------------\|
115	\| 2 posts/week \| 8 \| 5 \| 2 \| 1 \|
116	\| 3 posts/week \| 12 \| 7 \| 4 \| 1 \|
117	\| 4
