# Content Calendar

**By The Agent Ledger** — [theagentledger.com](https://theagentledger.com)

Plan, schedule, and track your content pipeline across every channel — without the spreadsheet chaos. This skill gives your agent a structured system for managing content from idea to published, and flagging what's falling behind.

---

## What This Skill Does

Your agent will:
- Maintain a **content pipeline** organized by stage (Idea → Draft → Review → Scheduled → Published)
- Track **publishing cadence** per channel (newsletter, blog, LinkedIn, X, etc.)
- Surface **what needs attention** — overdue pieces, gaps in the schedule, idle ideas
- Flag **repurposing opportunities** — where existing content can be adapted for new channels
- Provide a **weekly content brief** summarizing the next 7 days

## Setup (5 Steps)

### Step 1: Create your content workspace

Create a file called `content/CALENDAR.md` in your agent workspace. Paste this starter template:

```markdown
# Content Calendar

_Last updated: [date]_

## Active Pipeline

| ID | Title | Type | Channel | Stage | Due Date | Notes |
|----|-------|------|---------|-------|----------|-------|
| C001 | | | | Idea | | |

## Publishing Cadence

| Channel | Frequency | Day/Time | Status |
|---------|-----------|----------|--------|
| Newsletter | Weekly | Thursday | Active |
| Blog | Bi-weekly | Monday | Active |
| LinkedIn | 3x/week | Mon/Wed/Fri | Active |
| X/Twitter | Daily | 9am | Active |

## Content Backlog (Unscheduled Ideas)

- [ ] [idea title] — [brief description]

## Published Archive

_Completed pieces move here after publishing._
```

### Step 2: Define your channels

Edit the Publishing Cadence table above to match your actual channels. Remove what you don't use. Add what's missing. Be honest about cadence — if you realistically post once a week, put that.

### Step 3: Tell your agent about content types

Add a note at the top of CALENDAR.md listing your content types and typical word counts or formats:...
