Content Pillars Planner
Defines 3-5 content pillars that keep your output focused and on-brand.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Defining content pillars is a smart move for keeping your output consistent. I'd want to understand what you're trying to accomplish—are you building thought leadership, driving product adoption, or something else? And what does your audience care about most? Once I understand your goals and audience better, we could brainstorm maybe 5 core themes that make sense for your space. I could suggest frameworks for organizing pillars or walk you through examples from other companies if that helps.
CONTENT PILLARS: Developer Productivity Strategy PILLAR 1: Speed Over Perfection • Thesis: Best developers ship bad code fast, then iterate. Perfectionism kills projects. • Topics: "Shipping in Week 1 vs. Month 1", "Technical debt as feature", "Good enough architecture" • Content formats: Case studies (2/month), technical tutorials (1/month), philosophy essays (biweekly) • Audience signal: Devs grinding on side projects, early-stage startups PILLAR 2: The Right Tool for the Job • Thesis: Choosing tools is 70% team skill match, 30% technical specs. Wrong tool choice haunts you. • Topics: "Tech stack selection framework", "When to build vs. buy", "Evaluating libraries" • Content formats: Comparison guides (1/month), decision trees (quarterly), tool deep-dives (2/month) • Audience signal: CTAs to "Tech Stack Questionnaire", high engagement on framework posts PILLAR 3: Boring Infrastructure is Stable Infrastructure • Thesis: Fancy architectures fail. Simple, well-monitored systems win. • Topics: "Monitoring that actually catches bugs", "Database schema design", "Deployment without fear" • Content formats: DevOps walkthroughs (2/month), failure post-mortems (1/month), checklists (quarterly) • Audience signal: Peak engagement around launch weeks, infrastructure incidents PILLAR 4: Teams Ship Faster Than Solo Devs • Thesis: Onboarding costs money upfront. Shipping with a team is 3x faster. • Topics: "Code review practices", "Pair programming rituals", "Async collaboration" • Content formats: Interview series (1/month), playbooks (quarterly), podcast clips (weekly) • Audience signal: Team leads and engineering managers follow PILLAR 5: Developer Experience Scales Revenue • Thesis: If your tooling is painful, hiring slows down. Great DX accelerates growth. • Topics: "API design", "Onboarding flows for developers", "Documentation that doesn't rot" • Content formats: Product reviews (2/month), opinion pieces (biweekly), API tear-downs (monthly) • Audience signal: Product teams, DevRel followers CROS-PILLAR FRAMEWORK • Pillar 1 content links to Pillar 4 (shipping solo vs. team) • Pillar 2 threads through all others (tool choice is a recurring question) • Editorial calendar: 2 Pillar 1, 1 Pillar 2, 1 Pillar 3, 1 Pillar 4, 1 Pillar 5 per month
