Content Writer
Drafts a blog post, newsletter, or landing page from a brief — using the site's established voice.
Entry verified April 20, 2026
The short answer
The subagent you reach for when you need a publishable draft, not a bulleted outline. Reads a content profile (voice, audience, do/don't), pulls research if a researcher agent ran first, and produces something you edit rather than rewrite.
When to use it
Daily, if you run a content site. Best when paired with a separate research pass so the skill isn't doing research and writing in the same turn.
Setup
- 1
Save as ~/.claude/agents/content-writer.md. Agent definition (frontmatter + instructions).
- 2
Feed it a .claude/content-profile.md per site — this is where voice, audience, monetisation live.
- 3
Invoke via /write <topic> from the site's repo.
Example
You: /write 'Claude vs ChatGPT for content editors' Claude: [reads profile, pulls research, drafts 1,800 words in the house voice, returns draft with suggested meta title + description]

Caveats
Writers quality depends on the content profile. Thin profile → thin output. Invest in the profile.
