Plan V2 Skills Expansion

What this skill does

Plan V2 Skills Expansion packages core capabilities from hidrix-tools (MCP tools) and the LinkedIn content-pipeline into a cohesive skill set tailored for affiliate marketing. It introduces three new skills: `traffic-analyzer` for competitor traffic and advertiser evaluation, `content-research-brief` to generate structured, multi-source research briefs with auto-tagging, and `infographic-generator` for creating branded LinkedIn-optimized visuals. These skills upgrade affiliate-skills with deeper social intelligence and content research, enabling data-driven decisions and more effective content creation.

Who it's for

This skill set is designed for affiliate marketers assessing advertiser strength, growth leads needing competitive traffic insights, and content strategists developing research-backed LinkedIn campaigns. It also serves agency strategists managing multiple affiliate programs who require clear traffic benchmarks and scalable content workflows. The combination of traffic analysis, research briefing, and visual asset generation supports teams focused on performance and social-driven growth.

Key workflows

Practitioners start by running the `traffic-analyzer` to compare domain traffic, sources, and engagement metrics, informing which affiliate programs or advertisers offer strong conversion potential. Next, they use the `content-research-brief` to aggregate 5–10 trending articles on target topics, auto-tagging themes like AI, SaaS, or funding, and synthesizing multiple angles into a cohesive research brief. Finally, the `infographic-generator` creates branded, LinkedIn-optimized infographic specs from the brief, providing distinctive visual assets that enhance content engagement. These stages integrate into a structured content production pipeline from research to publish-ready assets.

Common questions

How does `traffic-analyzer` improve on basic web tools? It interprets and scores traffic data rather than just returning raw numbers, enabling actionable comparisons. Can `content-research-brief` handle multiple sources? Yes, it synthesizes 5 to 10 articles to produce a unique, multi-angle summary. Is the `infographic-generator` output ready to post? It produces detailed specs optimized for LinkedIn (1080×1350), which can be rendered by tools like Satori or Canva for final design.
