Generate SEO content briefs from live search results
The problem
Writers get vague topics, and the resulting articles miss what's already ranking.
How the agent works
The agent looks at the top results for a target keyword, extracts the subtopics, questions and formats they cover, identifies gaps, and outputs a brief with outline, intent, and internal links.

- Writer edits and writes
