name: intelligence description: Information gathering utilities (analytics, research, content analysis) (general)

Intelligence Skill

Overview

This skill provides comprehensive information gathering utilities for project planning and content analysis. It consolidates analytics queries, external research, and content intelligence operations into a single skill.

Key principle: This is a utility skill - it wraps Kurt CLI commands and provides low-level operations. It can be used directly by users OR called by higher-level skills (like project-management, workflows).

Primary use case: During project planning (Step 4 of create-project) to identify what content needs work.

When to Use This Skill

✅ Use intelligence-skill when:

• Analyzing traffic patterns to find content issues (audit-traffic)
• Finding content about specific topics with traffic data (identify-affected)
• Researching topics with AI (search)
• Monitoring community discussions (reddit, hackernews, feeds)
• Comparing content coverage vs competitors (compare-gaps, compare-coverage)
• Quick analytics spot-checks (top, bottom, trending)

❌ Don't use intelligence-skill when:

• Creating or editing content → Use content-writing-skill
• Managing CMS content → Use cms-interaction-skill
• Managing projects → Use project-management-skill

Rule of thumb: If it's gathering information or analyzing data, use this skill. If it's creating/managing content, use other skills.

Content Intelligence Operations (6)

Complex analysis combining content + analytics for project planning.

• identify-affected --search-term <term> - Find content with traffic prioritization
• audit-traffic --domain <domain> - Traffic audit report
• impact-estimate --topic <topic> - Estimate content opportunity value
• compare-gaps --own <domain> --competitor <domain> - Find missing content
• compare-coverage --own <domain> --competitor <domain> - Compare content types/topics
• compare-quality --own <domain> --competitor <domain> - Compare depth/quality metrics

Operation Details

Analytics Operations

top - Top pages by traffic

• Use: Quick check for most popular content
• Example: intelligence top 10

bottom - Lowest traffic pages

• Use: Find zero-traffic/orphaned pages
• Example: intelligence bottom 10

trending - Pages with increasing traffic

• Use: Find momentum topics to expand on
• Example: intelligence trending

declining - Pages losing traffic

• Use: Urgent attention needed (high traffic + declining = critical)
• Example: intelligence declining

summary - Analytics overview

• Use: Understand traffic distribution and health
• Example: intelligence summary docs.company.com

check - Traffic for specific URL(s)

• Use: Spot-check traffic during planning
• Example: intelligence check "bigquery"

Research Operations

search "" - AI-powered research (Perplexity)

• Use: Gather reference sources for projects
• Flags: --recency hour|day|week|month, --save
• Example: intelligence search "AI tools trends" --recency week --save

list - Browse past research get - Retrieve specific research

reddit -s - Monitor Reddit discussions

• Use: Find what audience is discussing
• Example: intelligence reddit -s dataengineering --min-score 10

hackernews - Monitor HN discussions feeds - Monitor RSS/Atom feeds

Content Intelligence Operations

identify-affected --search-term - Find content with traffic prioritization

• Use: Update content about specific topic
• Priority matrix: CRITICAL (high traffic + declining) → ZERO (no traffic)
• Example: intelligence identify-affected --search-term "bigquery" --content-type tutorial

audit-traffic --domain - Comprehensive traffic audit

• Use: Domain-wide health check
• Finds: High-traffic stale, declining traffic, zero-traffic pages
• Example: intelligence audit-traffic --domain docs.company.com

impact-estimate --topic - Estimate new content opportunity

• Use: Prioritize new content creation
• Returns: HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW impact estimate
• Example: intelligence impact-estimate --topic "security" --domain docs.company.com

compare-gaps --own --competitor - Find missing content

• Use: Identify content you don't have vs competitor
• Prerequisite: Competitor content must be indexed
• Example: intelligence compare-gaps --own docs.yourco.com --competitor docs.competitor.com

compare-coverage --own --competitor - Compare content types

• Use: Understand content mix gaps (tutorials, guides, examples)
• Example: intelligence compare-coverage --own docs.yourco.com --competitor docs.competitor.com

compare-quality --own --competitor - Compare content depth

• Use: Set quality bar for content
• Compares: word count, code examples, images, update frequency
• Example: intelligence compare-quality --own docs.yourco.com --competitor docs.competitor.com

---

Common Workflows

For updating docs: audit-traffic → select high-priority items For new content: compare-gaps + impact-estimate → prioritize topics For competitive analysis: compare-gaps + compare-coverage + compare-quality For research: search + reddit/hackernews → gather sources

Routing Logic

# Parse first argument to determine operation type
OPERATION=$1

case "$OPERATION" in
  # Analytics operations → analytics subskill
  top|bottom|trending|declining|summary|check)
    invoke: subskills/analytics.md
    ;;

  # Research operations → research subskill
  search|list|get|reddit|hackernews|feeds)
    invoke: subskills/research.md
    ;;

  # Content intelligence operations → content-intelligence subskill
  identify-affected|audit-traffic|impact-estimate|compare-gaps|compare-coverage|compare-quality)
    invoke: subskills/content-intelligence.md
    ;;

Integration with Other Skills

Called by:

• project-management-skill (Step 4 - identify targets during project planning)
• workflow-skill (default workflows use intelligence operations)
• Direct user invocation for ad-hoc analysis

Uses:

• kurt content list - Query indexed content
• kurt content stats - Content statistics
• kurt research - External research commands
• kurt cluster-urls - Topic clustering

Works with:

• content-writing-skill - Intelligence identifies targets, writing creates content
• cms-interaction-skill - Intelligence analyzes, CMS manages
• workflow-skill - Workflows compose intelligence operations

---

Key Principles

1. Utility skill - Low-level, composable operations
2. Modular subskills - Load only needed operations (context efficiency)
3. Used during planning - Primarily for project planning (Step 4)
4. Data-driven - Combines content metadata + analytics + external research
5. Delegates to CLI - Wraps kurt commands, doesn't reimplement logic
