## Examples

### Example 1: Informational Blog Post
**User:** Write a blog post about "Sustainable Gardening for Beginners".
**Agent:** (Generates Title, Truth Box, clickable contents, well-structured sections with tables, Misconceptions, and FAQ.)

## Best Practices

- ✅ Use short, punchy sentences.
- ✅ Ensure tables are clean and use `|` markdown syntax.
- ✅ Maintain the Truth Box at the very beginning of the post for high engagement.
- ❌ Avoid using numbered headings; stick to standard markdown `#`, `##`, `###`.
- ❌ Do not use hyphen bullets in the contents section.

## Limitations

- This skill does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, or safety boundaries are missing.
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.

## Security & Safety Notes

- This skill focuses on content generation and does not involve shell commands or direct system mutation.
- Ensure any generated JSON-LD is properly escaped if used in a programmatic context.

## Common Pitfalls

- **Problem:** Missing Primary Keyword in Alt Text.
  **Solution:** Ensure the `IMAGE SEO SECTION` explicitly includes the primary keyword in at least one Alt Text field.
- **Problem:** AI-sounding or repetitive tone.
  **Solution:** Use the "Human-sounding" requirement in the `WRITING RULES` to re-check the draft.
