Credibility Engine

Your personal credibility advisor, built for Claude Code.

Credibility Engine is for writers, coaches, consultants, and creators who want to build authority in their space. Once you set up your profile, the engine knows your positioning, your audience, and what moves the credibility needle for your specific context — so you are never stuck on what to create next.

What you get

• A personalised content strategy tied to your credibility goals, not a generic framework
• Specific recommendations for what to create next, scored against your schedule, your content balance, and your authority-to-income path
• Production-ready outlines you can execute in your own voice — the engine never writes your content for you
• A recurring workflow: log what you completed, get a reflection on your content patterns, and evolve your profile as your positioning sharpens

What it looks like

Here is what /cred:onboard looks like:

This takes 10–15 minutes. No forms, no fields to fill in — just a conversation.

At the end you'll have:
1. A credibility profile that loads automatically at the start of every session
2. A positioning summary ready to hand to a VA or ghostwriter

Let's start.

Who are you, and what do you do? Tell me in your own words — as if you were explaining
it to someone you just met at an industry event.

Here is what /cred:next looks like:

Here's what to create next:

1. **Why Most Leadership Coaches Focus on the Wrong Metric** — LinkedIn Long-form
   Your consulting clients consistently mention "ROI on coaching" as their main objection —
   this reframes the conversation and positions you as the answer before they even enquire.

2. **The 90-Day Credibility Audit: What I Check in Every New Client Engagement** — Newsletter
   Fills your Thursday newsletter slot and directly demonstrates your diagnostic framework
   to the B2B HR audience you're building trust with.

3. **One Question That Changes How Executives Think About Their Online Presence** — LinkedIn Post
   Short-form authority content is underrepresented in your last five posts — this format
   corrects the balance while targeting your primary platform.

Want to go deeper on any of these, or ready to create? Run /cred:create-content [number] to start.
