Write Articles That Can Rank

This workflow runs the seo-publish-pipeline skill end to end. It works from two files in your project: content/keyword-backlog.md, a keyword queue built only by vdr research runs, and product.md, the list of features that exist and features that do not. If either file is missing, the agent stops and helps you create it first. Then it picks the oldest pending keyword, classifies the search intent, drafts to a fixed structure, validates every product claim against product.md, runs two anti-slop passes, and scores the draft before you see it. After you publish, it pushes the URL to search engines through IndexNow and marks the backlog entry published.

Paste this into Claude, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, or another coding agent. The website, the expected output, and the approval boundary are already written in. First run? Complete the one-time setup; your agent can handle that too.

This is the sequence the agent works through. Read-only steps run on their own; anything that sends or changes something stops and waits for you.

1. 01

   Check the files

   Verify content/keyword-backlog.md and product.md exist; if either is missing, the agent stops and helps you create it.

2. 02

   Build the backlog

   Fill the backlog from research runs only: vdr keywords:tracked, vdr keywords:suggest, and vdr keywords:research verdicts.

3. 03

   Pick and verify

   Take the oldest pending backlog keyword, classify its search intent, and re-verify stale entries against the DR the top 10 demands.

4. 04

   Draft and de-slop

   Draft to the fixed structure, validate every product claim against product.md, run two anti-slop passes, and score before your review.

5. 05

   Submit URL

   Run vdr sites:submit-urls after publish to push the URL via IndexNow, and mark the backlog entry published.

6. 06

   Check results

   Run vdr sites:gsc-performance a few weeks later to check clicks, impressions, and position.

The exact commands behind the prompt. Run the chain yourself if you'd rather skip the agent; the ones that send anything still stop for your approval.
