Templates
Save article structures as reusable templates for consistent content across a domain.
What Templates Capture
Templates extract the structural blueprint from a completed article. They capture the shape of the content - not the content itself.
Template Workflow
Write an article
Use the Write Article skill to create a complete article. The block structure becomes the basis for the template.
Save as template
Use the Save Template skill or ask Claude to save the article structure. The template is stored with a name and associated to the domain.
List templates
Use aeo_list_templates to see all saved templates for a domain. Each template shows its name and article type.
Use a template
When writing a new article, tell Claude to use a specific template. The template provides the block structure while content is generated fresh.
MCP Tools
Two MCP tools handle template operations:
aeo_save_as_templateExtracts the structure from a completed article and saves it as a named template. Requires the execution ID of the source article.
aeo_list_templatesLists all saved templates for a domain. Returns template names, article types, and creation dates.
Tips
- Save templates from your best-performing articles - the ones that produced the highest score improvements.
- Create separate templates for different article types. A how-to guide template will have a very different structure from a comparison post.
- Templates are domain-scoped. If a template works well, you can ask Claude to apply the same structure to a different domain manually.
- The template stores structure, not content. Word count targets are preserved, but actual text is always generated fresh for each new article.
