Self-Media Content Brief
Turns a one-line topic, link, or product blurb into a confirmable creative brief covering audience, core claim, evidence, and per-platform angles.

What it does
- Takes vague content requests and asks at most three questions — only ones that would actually change the direction of the piece.
- Outputs a standard brief template: account positioning, target audience, content goal (growth / engagement / trust / conversion), one-sentence core claim, evidence to use, reader payoff, tone, explicit "do not write" list, and per-platform angles.
- Includes a question-routing table by platform (WeChat official accounts, Xiaohongshu, X, Douyin/video channels, multi-platform).
- Lists every default it assumed, then stops and waits for your confirmation before drafting any full copy.
- Hands off to sibling skills after confirmation: trend radar, platform copywriting, short-video scripting.
Who it's for
- Content marketers and editors running several social channels at once.
- Solo creators who keep rewriting because the AI guessed the wrong angle.
- Agencies that want a short alignment doc before touching the draft.
Examples
- You say "write something about our new product for Xiaohongshu" — it asks about audience identity, the search intent, and what real proof you have, then returns a brief.
- You drop a news link — it reads the link and project files first, asks only what's missing, and locks in the core claim plus banned talking points.
- You want one topic expanded into a blog post, a short video, and an X thread — it assigns a primary platform and a distinct job to each channel.
