# Content Production Playbook — Consciousness Garden
## Purpose
Turn a topic list into organized, rich Zensical docs for the awakening/consciousness site.
This document is the reusable task brief for any future content-writing run.
---
## 1. Inputs required
- Topic list (title + one-line intent per topic)
- Desired folder hierarchy preference:
- `docs/practices/` — guided practices
- `docs/teachings/` — longer essays, frameworks
- `docs/experiences/` — community stories, experiences
- `docs/reference/` — glossaries, diagrams, maps
- `docs/about/` — already exists; keep site meta here
---
## 2. Research workflow
For each topic:
1. Run a short Firecrawl/parallel-cli research pass to pull 24 high-quality references.
2. Favor primary sources, short readable articles, and non-copyright-restricted diagrams.
3. If the topic is technical or structural, prefer diagrammatic explanation.
---
## 3. Content standards
- **Tone**: calm, grounded, inviting — not performative spirituality.
- **Length**: 300900 words per page unless the topic clearly demands more.
- **Structure per post**:
- 13 sentence intro hook
- 36 body sections with headings
- 1 closing reflection or practice prompt
- 1 related link into another page in the same hierarchy
- **Accessibility**: readable line length, alt text on images, reduced-motion safe animations.
---
## 4. Zensical features to use
- Admonitions: `!!! note`, `!!! warning`
- Collapsibles: `???` for optional depth
- Code/math only when genuinely clarifying a model or practice
- Mermaid diagrams: flowcharts, mindmaps, or journey maps when a concept benefits from visual structure
- `markdown="1"` for figures/hero-style images
- Keep internal links relative to `docs/` paths
---
## 5. Images & media
- Prefer lightweight PNG/SVG or optimized JPEG.
- If video is added:
- Use a poster image
- Do not autoplay
- Prefer HTML5 `<video controls preload="none">`
- For diagrams:
- Mermaid first
- If Mermaid is unsuitable, generate a simple SVG and embed it
---
## 6. Hierarchy rules
- Keep the tree shallow wherever possible: prefer `docs/practices/grounding.md` over deep nesting.
- Add an `index.md` to each section folder only if it adds navigational value.
- Avoid duplicate topics — search `docs/` with ripgrep before creating a new page.
---
## 7. Linking policy
- Every new page should link to:
- 1 nearby related page
- 1 higher-level hub or index if available
- Use human-readable anchor text.
- Do not create orphan pages.
---
## 8. Review checklist
- [ ] Build succeeds with `./.venv/bin/zensical build`
- [ ] Images render at reasonable size
- [ ] Internal links resolve in `site/search.json`
- [ ] Tone consistent with existing homepage
- [ ] No broken anchors in markdown
- [ ] Reduced-motion styles remain intact
---
## 9. Output convention
When producing posts from this playbook, return:
1. New file paths and folder tree
2. 13 sentence rationale for hierarchy choice per page
3. List of new internal links created
4. Any generated assets (`docs/assets/images/*`, `docs/assets/diagrams/*`)
