A monthly content calendar for your channels. With a draft behind every post.

Monthly content calendar is a DFIRST skill that plans a month of social posts around how many posts a week your team can handle. Firsty, the DFIRST agent, reads your brand, audience, trends and the posts already planned, builds the calendar for your approval and then writes a draft for every entry. Nothing is published without your OK.

  • Every entry has a date, channel, owner, goal and status
  • No week has more posts than your team can handle
  • Every approved entry links to its draft

Examples. What you ask, what you get back.

Plan June for Instagram and LinkedIn, 4 posts a week. Owners are Emma and Lucas.

Four posts a week and never a fifth, with Emma on Instagram and Lucas on LinkedIn. Every entry carries its date, goal and status, and gets its draft once the calendar is approved.

Weeks 3 and 4 continue on the same card. Each entry opens its draft.

A content calendar for our March trail shoe launch, 3 posts a week. Nina runs Instagram, Tom does LinkedIn.

Three posts a week up to launch day on 15 March. Week one's drafts are written, week two's are being written, and the launch post waits for the final photos.

The table runs to the end of March, and every line opens its draft.

Week one of July is approved. Write the drafts and put them in Publishing, but nothing goes live yet.

One draft for each entry in week one, linked from its line in the calendar. They stay in Publishing as drafts, and each goes out only when Mia approves it.

Pool days run long. Reapply after every swim and stay out longer. SPF 50, no white cast.

Sunscreen works best as a habit, not a beach-day extra. This month our team shares the small routines that keep people out longer, starting with the tube that lives next to the toothbrush.

Questions people ask.

About Monthly content calendar and how it fits the rest of DFIRST.

How do I make a social media content calendar with AI?

Tell Firsty the month, the channels and how many posts a week your team can manage. It reads your brand, audience and trends, checks what is already planned and lays the month out as a table. You approve the calendar first; only then does Firsty write the drafts, week by week, each linked from its entry.

How many posts a week should we plan?

As many as your team can really publish and look after. Firsty plans to the number you give, or three a week if you give none, and keeps every week within it. Before you approve the calendar you can lower the number for a single week, for a holiday or a busy launch.

Can it add the posts to Notion or Google Calendar?

Yes, if you ask. Once the calendar is approved, Firsty can add each entry to Notion or Google Calendar through your connections, and it asks before each one is written there. It can also place the posts in Publishing as drafts and leave you a reminder in your Inbox on Mondays.

Does Firsty publish the posts?

No. Firsty writes drafts and, when you ask, places them in Publishing. Each post waits there until you or its owner approve it, and nothing goes live without that OK. The skill plans and drafts; it does not reply to comments or report on how the posts performed.

Can I change the plan before the drafts are written?

Yes. The calendar stops for your approval before a single draft is written. Move a post, swap a topic, change an owner or drop a channel, and Firsty updates the table. To turn one long article or talk into several entries, the Repurpose content skill writes the versions from it.
