Overview

Content Strategy & Modeling Assistant

RBA Consulting's toolkit for designing enterprise content architectures from first principles. This plugin gives strategists, information architects, and DXP engineers a structured, repeatable process for defining content types, building taxonomy and metadata schemas, producing editorial governance frameworks, and generating content matrices — all calibrated to RBA's Microsoft/Azure foundation and certified Sitecore, Optimizely, and Umbraco partnerships.

What's inside

Artifact Purpose
content-type-modeler skill Designs a complete, platform-neutral content type hierarchy from requirements. Outputs a structured schema with fields, field types, inheritance, and relationship map. Adapters for Sitecore XM Cloud, Optimizely CMS SaaS, Umbraco, Contentful, and Contentstack.
taxonomy-schema-designer skill Builds a controlled-vocabulary taxonomy: hierarchical, flat, or faceted. Produces term lists, parent–child relationships, usage guidelines, and a governance policy for term creation and retirement.
metadata-schema-builder skill Defines a canonical metadata schema covering SEO, Open Graph, structured data (JSON-LD), localization, and personalization signals. Produces a field-by-field spec with required/optional flags, allowed values, and per-platform implementation notes.
editorial-governance-framework skill Authors an editorial governance document: content lifecycle, roles and responsibilities, workflow stages (draft → review → approve → publish → archive), quality gates, and compliance requirements.
content-matrix-generator skill Maps content types to channels, audiences, personas, and lifecycle stages. Produces a prioritised matrix that connects strategy and IA decisions to implementation backlog.
content-model-reviewer agent Reviewer subagent: validates a draft content model or taxonomy against RBA's structured-content principles and returns a structured critique.
/model-content command Guided entry-point slash command: collects project context and routes to the right skill or combination.

When to use

Use this plugin at the strategy and discovery phase of any DXP, CMS re-platform, or headless-channel project. It is especially valuable when:

  • A client is migrating from a legacy CMS and needs a clean content model before field mapping begins
  • A new digital experience is being designed and content strategy has not yet defined types, taxonomy, or metadata
  • Multiple editorial teams are working in one CMS with inconsistent content structures
  • A composable DXP is being introduced and content reusability across channels (web, app, kiosk, email) must be designed in from day one
  • Editorial governance is absent or outdated and the client needs role/workflow policies before go-live

Platform adapters

All skills are platform-neutral by default and produce implementation notes for each target platform:

  • Sitecore XM Cloud — Data Templates, Base Templates, template inheritance, field sharing (Shared vs. Versioned vs. Unversioned), Content Hub One content types and components, Stream AI field hints
  • Optimizely CMS SaaS — Content types (Experience, Section, Element, Page, Block, Media), Properties with attribute decoration, Content Graph schema impact, Opal AI metadata signals
  • Umbraco — Document Types, Compositions (mixins), Data Types, Media Types, Member Types, Content Delivery API shape, Heartcore JSON output
  • Contentful — Content Types, Fields, Rich Text with embedded entries, References, Locales, Content Model export JSON
  • Contentstack — Content Types, Global Fields (reusable), Extensions, Branches for multi-brand, Automation Hub taxonomy sync

How to install

claude plugin install content-modeling-assistant@rba-ai-hub

Start with the guided entry point for an intake conversation that routes to the right skill:

/model-content

Or invoke any skill directly — for example, to design a content model from an existing requirements document:

/content-type-modeler requirements.md --platform sitecore-xm-cloud

Tools and permissions

These skills read project files, produce structured Markdown and JSON deliverables, and optionally fetch platform documentation for adapter-specific field type references. No credentials, no cloud CLI access, no destructive file operations.

Bundled artifacts

Skills

  • content-matrix-generator — Maps content types to channels, audiences, personas, and buyer journey stages to produce a prioritised content matrix. Shows which content types serve which audiences across which channels, identifies gaps where personas are underserved, and connects IA decisions to a prioritised implementation backlog. Use when aligning strategy and IA to delivery planning, after content types are defined — e.g. "create a content matrix for our B2B SaaS site", "map our content types to buyer journey stages", or "which content types do we need for our launch MVP vs phase 2".
  • content-type-modeler — Designs a complete, platform-neutral content type hierarchy from project requirements, existing content audits, or a brief description. Outputs a structured schema with content types, field definitions, field types, inheritance/composition chains, relationship maps, and per-platform implementation notes. Use when starting a new DXP build, migrating from a legacy CMS, or rationalising an inherited content model — e.g. "model content types for a B2B services site on Sitecore XM Cloud", "design a composable content model for a multi-brand retail DXP", or "turn this content audit into a clean type hierarchy".
  • editorial-governance-framework — Authors a comprehensive editorial governance document covering content lifecycle, roles and responsibilities, workflow stages (draft → review → approve → publish → archive), quality gates, compliance requirements, and taxonomy maintenance policies. Designed for DXP and headless CMS projects where multiple editorial teams or stakeholders share one publishing platform. Use when onboarding a new editorial team to a CMS, establishing governance before a platform migration go-live, or remediating inconsistent content practices — e.g. "write an editorial governance document for our Sitecore XM Cloud site", "define content workflow roles for our multi-brand Optimizely CMS", or "document publishing standards for our Umbraco site ahead of launch".
  • metadata-schema-builder — Defines a canonical metadata schema for a DXP or CMS project covering SEO, Open Graph, Twitter Card, structured data (JSON-LD Schema.org), localisation, personalization signals, and analytics data layer. Produces a field-by-field specification with required/optional flags, allowed values, character limits, and per-platform implementation notes (Sitecore, Optimizely, Umbraco, Contentful, Contentstack). Use when standardising metadata across a multi-template site, establishing SEO hygiene before migration go-live, or designing the structured data layer for a new DXP build — e.g. "build a metadata schema for our Sitecore XM Cloud site", "define SEO and JSON-LD fields for our Optimizely product pages", or "standardise metadata across 12 content types".
  • taxonomy-schema-designer — Builds a controlled-vocabulary taxonomy for a DXP or CMS project: hierarchical, flat, or faceted structures. Produces term lists, parent–child relationships, scope notes, usage guidelines, and a governance policy for term creation, maintenance, and retirement. Includes per-platform implementation notes (Sitecore, Optimizely, Umbraco, Contentful, Contentstack). Use when establishing the tagging and categorisation foundation for a new or re-platformed digital experience — e.g. "design a product taxonomy for our B2B site", "build a topic taxonomy for our editorial CMS", or "design faceted taxonomy for a resource library".

Agents

  • content-model-reviewer — Reviews a draft content model, taxonomy schema, or metadata schema document against RBA's structured-content principles and returns a structured critique. Flags anti-patterns (deep inheritance, unstructured rich text over-reliance, missing base types, undocumented taxonomy governance, incomplete metadata), scores the deliverable, and provides actionable remediation steps. Use as a review step before presenting content model deliverables to a client or handing off to the engineering team.

Slash Commands

  • /model-content — Guided entry point for the Content Strategy & Modeling Assistant plugin. Runs a structured intake conversation to identify the project context, target platform, and desired output, then routes to the appropriate skill or combination: content-type-modeler, taxonomy-schema-designer, metadata-schema-builder, editorial-governance-framework, or content-matrix-generator. Use to start any new content modeling engagement.
