# Content Creation

> Plan topics, generate content items, optimize SEO and AEO quality, and publish through your CMS workflow.

## Overview

Content Creation in Skayle is built for ranking execution, not one-off drafting.

You move through one connected flow:

1. Create topics
2. Generate content items from selected topics
3. Review SEO and AEO quality signals
4. Finalize metadata and structure
5. Publish now or schedule

## Content types and plans

Skayle supports multiple content collections/content types.

* `Articles` is available on all plans.
* Additional collections (for example Answers, Glossary, Guides, Comparisons, Troubleshooting, Templates, and Tools) require the `Authority` plan.
* On non-Authority plans, non-article collections are read-only.

## Topic creation

Skayle supports two topic creation paths:

* Automatic topic generation: creates a fresh topic list based on your workspace context.
* Keyword-seeded generation: starts from your provided keywords or phrases.

Each topic can include a suggested angle, content type, and writing style so your list is ready for production.

## Content item creation workflow

From the topic list, you can generate items in batches for the selected collection.

Skayle creates draft items with:

* Core body content
* Suggested structure
* Metadata fields
* Taxonomy relationships (when available)

You can then edit each item before publication.

## SEO + AEO scoring

Each item can be analyzed with separate SEO and AEO breakdowns.

* SEO score: evaluates search-focused quality such as title/meta quality, headings, keyword usage, and linking readiness.
* AEO score: evaluates answer-focused quality such as direct answerability, structure clarity, readability, and authority signals.

Scores are diagnostic guidance for revision, not a replacement for editorial judgment.

## Structured metadata

Skayle supports structured fields for publishing-ready outputs:

* SEO title and meta description
* FAQ entries
* Canonical and social metadata (Open Graph/Twitter fields)
* JSON-LD schema output
* Internal link suggestions

## Editing capabilities

In the content editor you can:

* Revise content, title, and excerpt
* Update taxonomy assignments
* Edit metadata and FAQ entries
* Review generated schema output
* Update featured image and alt text

## Image generation styles

Skayle supports multiple visual styles for featured images (configured in workspace settings), including options such as:

* Photorealistic
* Pastel Toyland
* Storybook Hues
* Crochet Worlds
* Computational Noir
* Clay
* Spectral Flow
* Primitive Play
* Glyph Matrix

## Publishing flow

Items can be:

* Kept as draft
* Scheduled for a future date
* Published immediately

If a CMS connector is active, publishing syncs to that connector. In Skayle CMS mode, content is served through the public CMS API.

For ongoing operations across all collections, use Content Management (`/content/manager`) for filtering, batch updates, and bulk scheduling.
