# Skill: Complete Concept Workflow

Use this skill to create a complete, high-quality concept page from start to finish. This skill orchestrates all five specialized skills in the optimal order:

1. **Resource Curation** — Find quality learning resources
2. **Concept Writing** — Write the documentation page
3. **Test Writing** — Create tests for code examples
4. **Fact Checking** — Verify technical accuracy
5. **SEO Review** — Optimize for search visibility

## When to Use

- Creating a brand new concept page from scratch
- Completely rewriting an existing concept page
- When you want a full end-to-end workflow with all quality checks

**For partial tasks, use individual skills instead:**
- Just adding resources? Use `resource-curator`
- Just writing content? Use `write-concept`
- Just adding tests? Use `test-writer`
- Just verifying accuracy? Use `fact-check`
- Just optimizing SEO? Use `seo-review`

2. **Search for MDN references** — Official documentation
3. **Find quality articles** — Target 4-6 from trusted sources
4. **Find quality videos** — Target 3-4 from trusted creators
5. **Evaluate each resource** — Check quality criteria
6. **Write specific descriptions** — 2 sentences each
7. **Format as Card components** — Ready to paste into the page

### Deliverables

- List of 2-4 MDN/reference links with descriptions
- List of 4-6 article links with descriptions
- List of 3-4 video links with descriptions
- Optional: 1-2 courses or books

### Quality Gates

Before moving to Phase 2:
- [ ] All links verified working (200 response)
- [ ] All resources are JavaScript-focused
- [ ] Descriptions are specific, not generic
- [ ] Mix of beginner and advanced content

---

## Phase 2: Concept Writing

**Skill:** `write-concept`
**Goal:** Create the full documentation page

### What to Do

3. **Write the opening hook** — Question that draws readers in
4. **Add opening code example** — Simple example in first 200 words
5. **Write "What you'll learn" box** — 5-7 bullet points
6. **Write main content sections:**
   - What is [concept]? (with 40-60 word definition for featured snippet)
   - Real-world analogy
   - How it works (with diagrams)
   - Code examples (multiple, progressive complexity)
   - Common mistakes
   - Edge cases
7. **Add Key Takeaways** — 8-10 numbered points
8. **Add Test Your Knowledge** — 5-6 Q&A accordions
9. **Add Related Concepts** — 4 Cards linking to related topics
10. **Add Resources** — Paste resources from Phase 1

### Deliverables

- Complete `.mdx` file at `/docs/concepts/{concept-name}.mdx`
- File added to `docs.json` navigation (if new)

### Quality Gates

Before moving to Phase 3:

```

---

## Phase Dependencies

Some phases can be partially parallelized, but the general flow should be:

```
Phase 1 (Resources) ──┐
                      ├──► Phase 2 (Writing) ──► Phase 3 (Tests) ──┐
                      │                                             │
                      │         ┌───────────────────────────────────┘
                      │         ▼
                      └──► Phase 4 (Fact Check) ──► Phase 5 (SEO)
```

- **Phase 1 before Phase 2:** Resources inform what to write
- **Phase 2 before Phase 3:** Need content before writing tests
- **Phase 3 before Phase 4:** Tests are part of fact-checking
- **Phase 4 before Phase 5:** Fix accuracy issues before SEO polish
