# Create collaborative content with industry peers

Make one useful piece with someone whose work fits yours. This guide helps you plan a shared talk or article that serves both groups of readers. Start with a real topic you can teach together.

**The path:** Real topic + peer → Agreed brief → Shared source → Checked releases

**Start when:** Two relevant peers may want to make a useful joint source or article.

## Inputs

- [Topic Wheel, the map of your offer, topics and real stories](https://blitzmetrics.com/topic-wheel/) and a verified peer/audience shortlist.
- The proposed format, useful reader outcome, real proof and a small clear ask.
- Recording or writing access, participant consent, edit/reuse rights and the actual release owners.

## Steps

1. Choose a peer for topic and audience fit. Inspect real work that shows why the person can contribute. Proximity to a recognizable name does not establish an endorsement or guarantee transferred trust; name the useful lesson the shared work will teach.
2. Draft a concrete proposal: topic, audience, format, time needed and intended use of the output. Reference the peer’s actual work. Keep outreach as a draft until sending is authorized; track the real reply rather than inventing agreement from a warm relationship.
3. Agree the source format and rights before recording or co-writing. Specify who speaks or writes, who checks facts, who owns the files, which excerpts may be reused and which channels each person actually intends to use. Shared participation does not imply unlimited rights.
4. Capture the conversation or draft with one clear topic and genuine contributions. Save the original files, date, participants and source notes. An AI worker can prepare prompts and process supported sources; it cannot substitute for the people’s own experience.
5. Prepare the agreed outputs through [Content Factory: Produce, Process, Post and Promote](https://blitzmetrics.com/content-factory/). Keep each person’s meaning, verify names and facts, and review the short opening and meaningful visual under [Article Guidelines](https://localservicespotlight.com/article-guidelines/). Do not require both parties to publish every derivative if that was never agreed.
6. Use [entity linking, choosing the right home for a named person or topic](https://blitzmetrics.com/entity-linking/) for truthful citations to each person’s verified home and relevant work. Check actual links after authorized release. A useful editorial cross-reference is different from exchanging links chiefly to manipulate ranking.
7. Give the peer a specific thank-you under the agreed privacy and send rules. Record participation, published outputs and any actual praise separately in the proof inventory, with the exact permitted reuse and remaining handoff.

## Definition of done (QA checklist)

Quality assurance (QA) means checking the actual result against its agreed requirements. Follow the [Article Guidelines](https://localservicespotlight.com/article-guidelines/).

- [ ] The shared source and each output follow the agreed topic, participants and rights.
- [ ] Every claimed release, credit and link is observed; pending peer work stays pending.
- [ ] The proof record describes the actual collaboration without invented endorsement or guaranteed reach.
- [ ] The exact output, source revision, reviewer evidence and remaining owner action are saved.
- [ ] For any reader-facing output, the short grade-five opening states the reader’s useful outcome and supporting method or proof. The body delivers that promise; a useful authentic visual appears in the first screen. Retain exact text and quoted reviewer evidence.

## Example(s)

**Fictional teaching example. This is not a client result or proof of a completed run.**

A fictional plumber and electrician record a joint home safety Q&A. They agree that each may use two checked excerpts. The plumber posts one, while the electrician is still reviewing the draft. The record shows one live excerpt and one pending review, with both people credited for the real discussion.

## Handoff and Content Factory context

[Turn the source into an article](https://local-service-spotlight.github.io/task-library/?task=repurpose-videos-into-blog-posts-via-content-factory#task-repurpose-videos-into-blog-posts-via-content-factory) or [Prepare social clips](https://local-service-spotlight.github.io/task-library/?task=create-social-content-from-video-clips#task-create-social-content-from-video-clips) receives the agreed sources; [Collect and classify positive mentions](https://local-service-spotlight.github.io/task-library/?task=positive-mentions-harvester#task-positive-mentions-harvester) receives only evidence-backed collaboration or praise records.

This task supports the [Content Factory: Produce, Process, Post and Promote](https://blitzmetrics.com/content-factory/). Identity, proof, access or coordination can support several stages. Use the real inputs and receiving owner above; this task does not create unrelated transcripts, clips or ads merely because the diagram has four stages.

## Start with an agent

Give the [AI worker](https://blitzmetrics.com/build-agents/) this recipe, the real inputs, desired result and actions already authorized. Ask for the saved output, sources, checks and next owner. A [skill is a written recipe](https://localservicespotlight.com/plugin/); loading one does not prove account access or perform the task. Use the [installation guide](https://localservicespotlight.com/install/) if reusable setup is needed. A ZIP is a source snapshot, not an access grant or automatic update.

Use the app’s actual supported tools and verified file/account access. Keep a missing human verification step with its real owner. Recurring work needs its own configured job, trigger, timezone and observed result; this guide creates no schedule. Before any media playback, mute the player and set its volume to zero. If silence cannot be verified first, use captions, frames, metadata or another silent check.

## Record the real execution

Open the run record when work begins. Keep one execution ID, starting recipe revision, real inputs and current state. Write the [meta article, the record of this execution](https://blitzmetrics.com/meta-article-prompt/) with actual steps, results, checks, failures and next owner. Writing is required; public release follows existing authority. Link it to this recipe and the [Task Library](https://local-service-spotlight.github.io/task-library/).

Reuse the same execution ID for internal checks, revisions, retries and meta writing. A blocked run stays open with its dependency and owner, without an invented finish time. Dated public examples and distinct verified execution counts remain separate. Propose the smallest source-backed recipe improvement when the actual evidence reveals a defect.

## Factory chain (do not treat this as isolated)

- **Phase:** —
- **Importance:** 3/5 `●●●○○` — frequency 3, revenue 3, gating 2 (supporting)
- **Suggested previous station:** —
- **Suggested next station:** —
These stations are generated neighbors, not verified prerequisites or handoffs. Follow the task’s actual Inputs and Handoff sections.
- **Handoff:** Save this task’s actual output, source, date and checks where the receiving owner can read them. Follow the Inputs and Handoff sections for its next step.

## Model routing (same factory, any engine)

- **This task's lane:** `any` — Any capable chat model (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini). SOP following, drafts, checklists.
- **Single-engine path:** Use the capable AI app you already have. Check its required tools and access before starting. Pass the actual result and proof to the next task.
- **Optional multi-engine:** A tested local model may draft; a stronger model may review facts and voice. Use supported tools for approved actions. Pick models from observed quality and cost; a model name does not prove it can run this task.
- **Never** store the working state in one vendor's memory. Files in the Content Library are the bridge.

## Review and evidence still needed

The inherited contributor status is `needs-work`. It is preserved, not promoted by this rewrite. That label alone does not prove document readiness, account access, an actual execution or a client result.

The fictional example teaches the method and does not fill a real-run evidence gap. A named semantic reviewer must check the actual opening, full method, sources and handoff. Check the useful opening visual in the normal rendered guide at the current required desktop and mobile sizes, including 1280 × 800 and 390 × 844. Source readability checks do not prove public presentation or task execution.
