What the content-calendar skill makes the agent do
An agent skill is a set of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task matches it. This one is for creating or maintaining a lightweight content calendar built from company priorities.
The skill's description says it plans a weekly editorial calendar by mapping company goals to publishable topics, owners, status, and verification notes. In practice, that means the agent turns your goals into content topics, assigns each one an owner, tracks where each piece stands, and adds notes that help someone check the piece before publication.
- Maps company goals to publishable topics
- Assigns owners to each item
- Tracks status for each item
- Adds verification notes so pieces can be checked before they go out
Install the content-calendar skill
Download the ZIP file for the skill from this page and unzip it. Put the resulting folder in one of two places: your personal skills folder at ~/.claude/skills/, or the .claude/skills/ folder inside a specific project if you want the skill only there.
You can also upload the skill in the Claude apps. Go to Settings, then Capabilities, then Skills, and upload it there.
- Personal install: ~/.claude/skills/
- Project install: .claude/skills/ inside your project folder
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills
~/.claude/skills/How to trigger the skill with a natural request
You do not need a special command. The skill's description tells the agent when to use it, so describe what you want in ordinary words. Mention a calendar, a weekly plan, or content tied to company priorities, and include your goals.
The source's usage note says to use the skill when creating or maintaining a calendar from company priorities. So requests that involve either building a new calendar or updating an existing one are the right fit.
- Plan next week's content from our Q3 priorities: we need more customer case studies and a product launch post.
- Update the content calendar: move the pricing article to in progress and assign it to Dana.
- Add verification notes to this week's topics so our editor can check claims before publishing.
Examples of useful inputs
The skill works from the priorities you give it, so the more specific your goals, the more usable the plan. Name the goals, the audience if relevant, and the people who might own pieces.
Ask the agent to show the result as a weekly calendar with owner and status for each item. Ask it to flag topics where the facts need a check.
- Goal: grow trial sign-ups. Ask for three topics this week with owners and status.
- Goal: support the spring launch. Ask for a list of posts with verification notes for any product claims.
- Existing calendar: ask the agent to update statuses and add a new owner to an unassigned topic.
What the skill needs and how it runs
The skill lists no requirements. It runs no scripts and uses no network access. Its only file is SKILL.md, which contains the instructions the agent follows.
Because the skill only shapes how the agent plans, it does not publish anything. It has no connections to a CMS, scheduling tool, or other workflow system. You or your team carry the plan into whatever tools you use.
- Requirements: none listed
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: no
- Files: SKILL.md
Safety notes and limits
The verification notes are only as reliable as the checks a person performs. The agent can flag what needs checking, but it does not verify facts for you.
The skill is a planning aid, not a publishing system. Keep a human in the loop for any fact-sensitive content.
- Review every claim before publication
- Treat verification notes as prompts for checking, not proof
- Do not rely on the calendar as a record of what was published
What people use it for
- A solo founder turns three company goals into a month of blog and social topics.
- A small marketing team assigns weekly topics to writers and tracks which are drafted or in review.
- A content lead adds verification notes to product-related posts so an editor checks claims first.
- A creator updates an existing calendar by changing statuses and reassigning unowned items.

Does the content-calendar skill require anything else?
The skill lists no requirements. It runs no scripts and uses no network access, and its only file is SKILL.md.

No. The skill only changes how the agent plans. It maps goals to topics, assigns owners, tracks status and adds verification notes, but it does not publish anything.
Is the content-calendar skill free?
The source identifies the licence as MIT. It does not list pricing, so check the page where you found it for any cost details.
Can the skill connect to my CMS or scheduling tool?
No. The skill includes no tool connections and describes planning only. You move the plan into your own tools.
Can I trust the verification notes for fact-sensitive articles?
Only as much as the checks a person performs. Have a human review factual claims before publication, because the notes do not verify facts on their own.

Our verdict
This skill suits small marketing teams, founders and solo creators who want a simple weekly plan that links goals to topics, owners and status. It is a poor fit for large editorial operations that need CMS or workflow integration, or for fact-sensitive publishing without a human reviewer.
