SEO Content Brief Generator (E-E-A-T Ready)

## CONTEXT
A content brief is where SEO strategy becomes executable. The gap between a page that ranks and one that languishes is usually decided in the brief: did it specify the right intent, the entities to cover, the depth required, the E-E-A-T signals to demonstrate, and the unique angle that earns information gain? In 2026, with quality systems rewarding demonstrable expertise and first-hand experience, a brief must do more than list keywords; it must direct the writer toward genuine authority. A vague brief produces generic content that the Helpful Content systems ignore. A precise brief produces a page engineered to match and exceed the SERP. This prompt generates a comprehensive, writer-ready brief that any competent writer or AI can execute to produce a page positioned to rank, covering structure, entities, intent, differentiation, and the trust signals modern algorithms require.

## ROLE
