What it does
Give it a target keyword and it researches, writes and returns a full article with internal links, images, and structured data, using what it already knows about your business from the setup wizard.
There are two modes and the difference is real.
When to use it
| Mode | What happens | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | One draft, one pass. Fast. | Volume, or a topic where good enough is fine. |
| Skyscraper (score-gated) | Researches the current top results, finds what they miss, drafts, then scores the draft against the real 30-check engine and revises until it clears the bar or runs out of revisions. | The page has to compete. Money pages, pillar articles, anything you would be embarrassed to see ranked below a competitor. |
Skyscraper takes several times longer and costs more, because it is doing several passes plus live search research. It is not a stylistic setting, it is a different pipeline.
How to run it
- Open Generate.
- Enter the target keyword, or pick a page from your content plan.
- Choose the mode.
- Set the internal link count if you want more or fewer than the default. The limit is enforced after generation as well as asked for, because models routinely overshoot it.
- Generate. The article streams as it is written.
From a website's content calendar you can also click to write a planned item, which queues the job instead of generating in the browser. Researched articles do not fit in a single request, so calendar items are written by a background worker and appear when done.
Reading the results
Skyscraper articles show their score. The gate is the same 30-check engine used everywhere else, so a 90+ here means the same thing as a 90+ on an audited page.
If the pipeline runs out of revisions before clearing the bar, it keeps the best draft it produced and tells you the score. It does not silently return the last attempt, and it does not inflate the number by skipping checks an empty draft would fail.
Limits and cost
- Each run consumes a usage credit. Skyscraper costs more in underlying model and data spend than standard.
- A generation request has a hard time budget of just under 5 minutes. Skyscraper manages its research, draft and revision loop inside that.
- Skyscraper allows a maximum of 4 revisions.
- Citations default on for blog posts and off for money pages.
- Internal links are limited to your chosen count.
When it goes wrong
The article is about the wrong business. The business context comes from the setup wizard. Fix the description in the website's settings and regenerate.
Internal links point at pages that do not exist. This is what the link limit and the real link targets in the revision prompt exist to prevent. If you see it, report it through Support with the article, because it means the link targets did not reach the model.
A calendar item says "Writing" and never finishes. The job failed and should have reverted the card to To Do with a "Write failed" note plus an email. If it is stuck instead, tell us the item.
The draft did not clear the score bar. Read the failing checks; they usually point at length or internal links. Re-running rarely fixes a structural shortfall.
