“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Content: Podcast

Guides podcast strategy, content creation, distribution, marketing, and SEO. Podcasts compete in a crowded space (3M+ active shows, 500M+ listeners globally); discoverability is the primary challenge. Discovery channels: ~32% search engines, ~28% podcast apps, ~24% social media, ~16% word-of-mouth.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read for audience, positioning, and content strategy.

Identify:

  1. Stage: Planning, launching, growing
  2. Format: Interview, solo, co-hosted, narrative
  3. Niche: Target audience, listener personas
  4. Goals: Downloads, authority, lead gen, repurposing

Content Strategy

ElementGuideline
Niche focusDefine audience through listener personas; tailored content cuts through noise
Quality over gimmicksSticky, unique, valuable content; most hosts see major growth after 5–6 months of consistency
Episode structureIntro, main content, CTA; consistent format aids retention

Distribution & Discovery

ChannelShareOptimization
Search engines~32%Transcripts, show notes, SEO-optimized titles/descriptions
Podcast apps~28%Title, description, cover art; category selection
Social media~24%Clips, quotes, repurposed content
Word-of-mouth~16%Cross-promotion, guest appearances

Multi-channel: Repurpose across platforms to multiply discovery surface.

SEO for Podcasts

Search engines cannot listen to audio. Text-based content is essential:

ElementGuideline
TranscriptsFull or key-moment transcripts; indexable, accessible
Show notesSEO-optimized; pull organic search traffic; include keywords naturally
Titles≤60 chars; keywords; engaging language
DescriptionsEpisode-specific; keywords; voice-search friendly
BacklinksBuild links to show notes, guest posts, directory listings

Schema: Use PodcastEpisode and PodcastSeries for rich results. See schema-markup for implementation.

Cross-Promotion & Partnerships

TacticUse
Feed dropsSwap episodes with similar-sized podcasts
Ad swapsPromote each other's shows
Guest appearancesTap into pre-existing engaged audiences

Repurposing

FormatUse
