+```python
+class GeneratedContent(Base):
+    id, project_id, tier
+    title, outline, content
+    status, is_active
+    generation_stage
+    title_attempts, outline_attempts, content_attempts
+    title_model, outline_model, content_model
+    validation_errors, validation_warnings
+    validation_report (JSON)
+    word_count, augmented
+    augmentation_log (JSON)
+    generation_duration
+    error_message
+    created_at, updated_at
+```
+
+#### 2. AI Client (`src/generation/ai_client.py`)
+
+**Features:**

+
+#### 3. Job Configuration (`src/generation/job_config.py`)
+
+**Job Structure:**
+```json
+{
+  "job_name": "Batch Name",
+  "project_id": 1,
+  "tiers": [
+    {
+      "tier": 1,
+      "article_count": 15,
+      "models": {
+        "title": "model-id",
+        "outline": "model-id",
+        "content": "model-id"
+      },
+      "anchor_text_config": {
+        "mode": "default|override|append"
+      },
+      "validation_attempts": 3
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_config": {
+    "max_consecutive_failures": 5,
+    "skip_on_failure": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### 4. Three-Stage Generation Pipeline (`src/generation/service.py`)
+
+**Stage 1: Title Generation**
+- Uses title_generation.json prompt
+- Validates keyword presence and length
+- Retries on validation failure
+- Max attempts configurable
+
+**Stage 2: Outline Generation**
+- Uses outline_generation.json prompt
+- Returns JSON structure with H1, H2s, H3s
+- Validates CORA targets (H2/H3 counts, keyword distribution)
+- AI retry → Programmatic augmentation if needed
+- Ensures FAQ section present
+
+**Stage 3: Content Generation**
+- Uses content_generation.json prompt
+- Follows validated outline structure
+- Generates full HTML (no CSS, just semantic markup)
+- Validates against all CORA rules
+- AI retry → Augmentation if needed
+
+#### 5. Stage Validation (`src/generation/validator.py`)
+
+**Title Validation:**
+- Length (30-100 chars)
+- Keyword presence
+- Non-empty
+
+**Outline Validation:**
+- H1 contains keyword
+- H2/H3 counts meet targets
+- Keyword distribution in headings
+- Entity and related search incorporation
+- FAQ section present
+- Tier-aware strictness
+
+**Content Validation:**
+- Full CORA rule validation
+- Word count (min/max)
+- Keyword frequency
+- Heading structure
+- FAQ format
+- Image alt text (when applicable)
+
+#### 6. Content Augmentation (`src/generation/augmenter.py`)
+
+**Outline Augmentation:**
+- Add missing H2s with keywords
+- Add H3s with entities
+- Modify existing headings
+- Maintain logical flow
+
+**Content Augmentation:**
+- Strategy 1: Ask AI to add paragraphs (small deficits)
+- Strategy 2: Programmatically insert terms (large deficits)
+- Insert keywords into random sentences
+- Capitalize if sentence-initial
+- Add complete paragraphs with missing elements
+
+#### 7. Batch Processor (`src/generation/batch_processor.py`)
+
+**Features:**
+- Process multiple tiers sequentially
+- Track progress per tier
+- Handle failures (skip or stop)
+- Consecutive failure threshold
+- Real-time progress callbacks
+- Detailed result reporting
+
+#### 8. Prompt Templates (`src/generation/prompts/`)
+
+**Files:**
+- `title_generation.json` - Title prompts
+- `outline_generation.json` - Outline structure prompts
+- `content_generation.json` - Full content prompts
+- `outline_augmentation.json` - Outline fix prompts
+- `content_augmentation.json` - Content enhancement prompts
+
+**Format:**
+```json
+{
+  "system": "System message",
+  "user_template": "Prompt with {placeholders}",
+  "validation": {
+    "output_format": "text|json|html",
+    "requirements": []
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### CLI Command
+
+```bash
+python main.py generate-batch \

+
+**Integration Tests:**
+- `test_content_generation.py` - Full pipeline with mocked AI
+- Repository CRUD operations
+- Service initialization
+- Job validation
+
+### Database Schema
+
+**New Table: generated_content**
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE generated_content (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+    project_id INTEGER REFERENCES projects(id),
+    tier INTEGER,
+    title TEXT,
+    outline TEXT,
+    content TEXT,
+    status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'pending',
+    is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT 0,
+    generation_stage VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'title',
+    title_attempts INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+    outline_attempts INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+    content_attempts INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+    title_model VARCHAR(100),
+    outline_model VARCHAR(100),
+    content_model VARCHAR(100),
+    validation_errors INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+    validation_warnings INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+    validation_report JSON,
+    word_count INTEGER,
+    augmented BOOLEAN DEFAULT 0,
+    augmentation_log JSON,
+    generation_duration FLOAT,
+    error_message TEXT,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP,
+    updated_at TIMESTAMP
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_generated_content_project_id ON generated_content(project_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_generated_content_tier ON generated_content(tier);
+CREATE INDEX idx_generated_content_status ON generated_content(status);
+```
+
+### Dependencies Added
+
+- `beautifulsoup4==4.12.2` - HTML parsing for augmentation
+
+All other dependencies already present (OpenAI SDK for OpenRouter).
+
+### Configuration
+
+**Environment Variables:**
+```bash
+AI_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-openrouter-key
+AI_API_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1  # Optional
+AI_MODEL=anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet  # Optional
+```
+
+**master.config.json:**
+Already configured in Story 2.2 with:
+- `ai_service` section
+- `content_rules` for validation
+- Available models list
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### Why Three Separate Stages?
+
+1. **Title First**: Validates keyword usage early, informs outline
+2. **Outline Next**: Ensures structure before expensive content generation
+3. **Content Last**: Follows validated structure, reduces failures
+
+Better success rate than single-prompt approach.
+
+### Why Programmatic Augmentation?
+
+- AI is unreliable at precise keyword placement
+- Validation failures are common with strict CORA targets
+- Hybrid approach: AI for quality, programmatic for precision
+- Saves API costs (no endless retries)
+
+### Why Separate GeneratedContent Table?
+
+- Version history preserved
+- Can rollback to previous generation
+- Track attempts and augmentation
+- Rich metadata for debugging
+- A/B testing capability
+
+### Why Job Configuration Files?
+
+- Reusable batch configurations
+- Version control job definitions
+- Easy to share and modify
+- Future: Auto-process job folder
+- Clear audit trail
+
+### Why Tier-Aware Validation?
+
+- Tier 1: Strictest (all CORA targets mandatory)
+- Tier 2+: Warnings only (more lenient)
+- Matches real-world content quality needs
+- Saves costs on bulk tier 2+ content
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **No Interlinking Yet**: Links added in Epic 3 (Story 3.3)
+2. **No CSS/Templates**: Added in Story 2.4
+3. **Sequential Processing**: No parallel generation (future enhancement)
+4. **Force-Regenerate Flag**: Not yet implemented
+5. **No Image Generation**: Placeholder for future
+6. **Single Project per Job**: Can't mix projects in one batch
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Story 2.4: HTML Formatting with Multiple Templates**
+- Wrap generated content in full HTML documents
+- Apply CSS templates
+- Map templates to deployment targets
+- Add meta tags and SEO elements
+
+**Epic 3: Pre-Deployment & Interlinking**
+- Generate final URLs
+- Inject interlinks (wheel structure)
+- Add home page links
+- Random existing article links
+
+## Technical Debt Added
+
+Items added to `technical-debt.md`:
+1. A/B test different prompt templates
+2. Prompt optimization comparison tool  
+3. Parallel article generation
+4. Job folder auto-processing
+5. Cost tracking per generation
+6. Model performance analytics

+## Story 2.3: AI-Powered Content Generation
+
+### Prompt Template A/B Testing & Optimization
+
+**Priority**: Medium  
+**Epic Suggestion**: Epic 2 (Content Generation) - Post-MVP  
+**Estimated Effort**: Medium (3-5 days)
+
+#### Problem
+Content quality and AI compliance with CORA targets varies based on prompt wording. No systematic way to:
+- Test different prompt variations
+- Compare results objectively
+- Select optimal prompts for different scenarios
+- Track which prompts work best with which models
+
+#### Proposed Solution
+
+**Prompt Versioning System:**
+1. Support multiple versions of each prompt template
+2. Name prompts with version suffix (e.g., `title_generation_v1.json`, `title_generation_v2.json`)
+3. Job config specifies which prompt version to use per stage
+
+**Comparison Tool:**
+```bash
+# Generate with multiple prompt versions
+compare-prompts --project-id 1 --variants v1,v2,v3 --stages title,outline
+
+# Outputs:
+# - Side-by-side content comparison
+# - Validation scores
+# - Augmentation requirements
+# - Generation time/cost
+# - Recommendation
+```
+
+**Metrics to Track:**
+- Validation pass rate
+- Augmentation frequency
+- Average attempts per stage
+- Word count variance
+- Keyword density accuracy
+- Generation time
+- API cost
+
+**Database Changes:**
+Add `prompt_version` fields to `GeneratedContent`:
+- `title_prompt_version`
+- `outline_prompt_version`
+- `content_prompt_version`
+
+#### Impact
+- Higher quality content
+- Reduced augmentation needs
+- Lower API costs
+- Model-specific optimizations
+- Data-driven prompt improvements
+
+---
+
+### Parallel Article Generation
+
+**Priority**: Low  
+**Epic Suggestion**: Epic 2 (Content Generation) - Post-MVP  
+**Estimated Effort**: Medium (3-5 days)
+
+#### Problem
+Articles are generated sequentially, which is slow for large batches:
+- 15 tier 1 articles: ~10-20 minutes
+- 150 tier 2 articles: ~2-3 hours
+
+This could be parallelized since articles are independent.
+
+#### Proposed Solution
+
+**Multi-threading/Multi-processing:**
+1. Add `--parallel N` flag to `generate-batch` command
+2. Process N articles simultaneously
+3. Share database session pool
+4. Rate limit API calls to avoid throttling
+
+**Considerations:**
+- Database connection pooling
+- OpenRouter rate limits
+- Memory usage (N concurrent AI calls)
+- Progress tracking complexity
+- Error handling across threads
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# Generate 4 articles in parallel
+generate-batch -j job.json --parallel 4
+```
+
+#### Impact
+- 3-4x faster for large batches
+- Better resource utilization
+- Reduced total job time
+
+---
+
+### Job Folder Auto-Processing
+
+**Priority**: Low  
+**Epic Suggestion**: Epic 2 (Content Generation) - Post-MVP  
+**Estimated Effort**: Small (1-2 days)
+
+#### Problem
+Currently must run each job file individually. For large operations with many batches, want to:
+- Queue multiple jobs
+- Process jobs/folder automatically
+- Run overnight batches
+
+#### Proposed Solution
+
+**Job Queue System:**
+```bash
+# Process all jobs in folder
+generate-batch --folder jobs/pending/
+
+# Process and move to completed/
+generate-batch --folder jobs/pending/ --move-on-complete jobs/completed/
+
+# Watch folder for new jobs
+generate-batch --watch jobs/queue/ --interval 60
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Process jobs in order (alphabetical or by timestamp)
+- Move completed jobs to archive folder
+- Skip failed jobs or retry
+- Summary report for all jobs
+
+**Database Changes:**
+Add `JobRun` table to track batch job executions:
+- job_file_path
+- start_time, end_time
+- total_articles, successful, failed
+- status (running/completed/failed)
+
+#### Impact
+- Hands-off batch processing
+- Better for large-scale operations
+- Easier job management
+
+---
+
+### Cost Tracking & Analytics
+
+**Priority**: Medium  
+**Epic Suggestion**: Epic 2 (Content Generation) - Post-MVP  
+**Estimated Effort**: Medium (2-4 days)
+
+#### Problem
+No visibility into:
+- API costs per article/batch
+- Which models are most cost-effective
+- Cost per tier/quality level
+- Budget tracking
+
+#### Proposed Solution
+
+**Track API Usage:**
+1. Log tokens used per API call
+2. Store in database with cost calculation
+3. Dashboard showing costs
+
+**Cost Fields in GeneratedContent:**
+- `title_tokens_used`
+- `title_cost_usd`
+- `outline_tokens_used`
+- `outline_cost_usd`
+- `content_tokens_used`
+- `content_cost_usd`
+- `total_cost_usd`
+
+**Analytics Commands:**
+```bash
+# Show costs for project
+cost-report --project-id 1
+
+# Compare model costs
+model-cost-comparison --models claude-3.5-sonnet,gpt-4o
+
+# Budget tracking
+cost-summary --date-range 2025-10-01:2025-10-31
+```
+
+**Reports:**
+- Cost per article by tier
+- Model efficiency (cost vs quality)
+- Daily/weekly/monthly spend
+- Budget alerts
+
+#### Impact
+- Cost optimization
+- Better budget planning
+- Model selection data
+- ROI tracking
+
+---
+
+### Model Performance Analytics
+
+**Priority**: Low  
+**Epic Suggestion**: Epic 2 (Content Generation) - Post-MVP  
+**Estimated Effort**: Medium (3-5 days)
+
+#### Problem
+No data on which models perform best for:
+- Different tiers
+- Different content types
+- Title vs outline vs content generation
+- Pass rates and quality scores
+
+#### Proposed Solution
+
+**Performance Tracking:**
+1. Track validation metrics per model
+2. Generate comparison reports
+3. Recommend optimal models for scenarios
+
+**Metrics:**
+- First-attempt pass rate
+- Average attempts to success
+- Augmentation frequency
+- Validation score distributions
+- Generation time
+- Cost per successful article
+
+**Dashboard:**
+```bash
+# Model performance report
+model-performance --days 30
+
+# Output:
+Model: claude-3.5-sonnet
+  Title: 98% pass rate, 1.02 avg attempts, $0.05 avg cost
+  Outline: 85% pass rate, 1.35 avg attempts, $0.15 avg cost  
+  Content: 72% pass rate, 1.67 avg attempts, $0.89 avg cost
+  
+Model: gpt-4o
+  ...
+  
+Recommendations:
+- Use claude-3.5-sonnet for titles (best pass rate)
+- Use gpt-4o for content (better quality scores)
+```
+
+#### Impact
+- Data-driven model selection
+- Optimize quality vs cost
+- Identify model strengths/weaknesses
+- Better tier-model mapping
+
+---
+
+### Improved Content Augmentation
+
+**Priority**: Medium  
+**Epic Suggestion**: Epic 2 (Content Generation) - Enhancement  
+**Estimated Effort**: Medium (3-5 days)
+
+#### Problem
+Current augmentation is basic:
+- Random word insertion can break sentence flow
+- Doesn't consider context
+- Can feel unnatural
+- No quality scoring
+
+#### Proposed Solution
+
+**Smarter Augmentation:**
+1. Use AI to rewrite sentences with missing terms
+2. Analyze sentence structure before insertion
+3. Add quality scoring for augmented vs original
+4. User-reviewable augmentation suggestions
+
+**Example:**
+```python
+# Instead of: "The process involves machine learning techniques."
+# Random insert: "The process involves keyword machine learning techniques."
+
+# Smarter: "The process involves keyword-driven machine learning techniques."
+# Or: "The process, focused on keyword optimization, involves machine learning."
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Context-aware term insertion
+- Sentence rewriting option
+- A/B comparison (original vs augmented)
+- Quality scoring
+- Manual review mode
+
+#### Impact
+- More natural augmented content
+- Better readability
+- Higher quality scores
+- User confidence in output

+- `anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet` - Best for high-quality content
+- `anthropic/claude-3-haiku` - Fast and cost-effective
+- `openai/gpt-4o` - Excellent quality
+- `openai/gpt-4o-mini` - Good for titles/outlines
+- `meta-llama/llama-3.1-70b-instruct` - Open source alternative
+- `google/gemini-pro-1.5` - Google's offering
+
+## Anchor Text Modes
+
+- **default**: Use CORA rules (keyword, entities, related searches)
+- **override**: Replace default with custom_text list
+- **append**: Add additional_text to default anchor text
+
+## Example Files
+
+- `example_tier1_batch.json` - Single tier 1 with 15 articles
+- `example_multi_tier_batch.json` - Three tiers with 165 total articles
+- `example_custom_anchors.json` - Custom anchor text demo
+
+## Tips
+
+1. Start with tier 1 to ensure quality
+2. Use faster/cheaper models for tier 2+
+3. Set `skip_on_failure: true` to continue on errors
+4. Adjust `max_consecutive_failures` based on model reliability
+5. Test with small batches first
