└─────────────┘ └─────────────┘ └─────────────┘ └─────────────┘ └─────────────┘Phase 1: Discovery
When user starts conversation, gather context:
Ask (pick 2-3 most relevant):
- What's your channel about / who's your audience?
- What topics have performed well / poorly for you?
- Any specific areas you want to focus on?
- Video length preference? (Shorts, 5-10 min, long-form)
- What's your content goal? (Grow subs, educate, build authority)
- Any topics you want to avoid?
Keep it conversational - don't interrogate. If user just wants to dive in, roll with it.
Phase 2: Social Listening Research
Use web search to find what's trending and what people are asking about.
Search Strategy
Execute 3-5 searches mixing these patterns:
1. Reddit: "site:reddit.com [topic] heart" OR "site:reddit.com cardiology"
2. Questions: "[cardiology topic] questions people ask"
3. Trends: "heart health trending 2024" OR "[topic] new research"
4. YouTube: "cardiology YouTube video ideas" (see what's working)
5. Forums: "[topic] patient questions forum"Extract & Synthesize
Look for:
- Hot questions people are asking
- Misconceptions that need correcting
- Emotional language (fear, confusion, hope)
- Gaps in existing content
- Trending hooks and angles
Reference: social-listening.md for detailed research methodology.
Phase 3: Generate Ideas
Combine social listening insights with seed topics and modifiers.
Formula
[Seed Topic] + [Modifier(s)] + [Social Insight] = Targeted Video ConceptResources
- Seeds: seeds.md - 300 cardiology topics across 15 categories
- Modifiers: modifiers.md - 200+ angles, audiences, and hooks
Generate 3-5 Ideas
For each idea, provide:
### Idea [#]: [Working Title]
**Hook Angle:** [One-sentence hook]
**Target Audience:** [Who this is for]
**Why Now:** [Social listening insight that validates this]
**Format:** [Listicle / Explainer / Myth-Buster / Story / etc.]
**Length:** [Estimated minutes]
**Seed + Modifiers Used:** [Show the combination]Quality Filters
Each idea must pass:
- Addresses real question/concern from research
- Clear audience and intent
- Not fear-mongering without actionable advice
- Differentiated from obvious existing content
- Matches user's channel focus and style
Phase 4: Approval
Present ideas and let user choose. Be ready to:
- Refine: Adjust angle, audience, or scope
- Combine: Merge elements from multiple ideas
- Regenerate: Create fresh options if none fit
- Clarify: Explain why certain angles work
Get clear approval before moving to script.
Phase 5: Script Writing
Reference: script-templates.md for structures and retention techniques.
Select Structure Based on Video Type
| Video Type | Use Template |
|---|---|
| Educational explainer | Structure A |
| List/ranking | Structure B |
| Myth vs fact | Structure C |
| Case study / story | Structure D |
| Short-form (<60s) | Structure E |
Script Sections
Every script includes:
- HOOK (0:00-0:30)
- Pattern interrupt or surprising fact - Clear promise of value - "Stay for..." tease (optional)
- INTRO (0:30-1:30)
- Brief credibility (don't over-explain) - Context: Why this matters now - Preview: What viewer will learn
- MAIN CONTENT
- Chunked into clear sections - Retention elements every 2-3 min - Evidence + stories + practical tips balanced
- WRAP-UP
- 3 key takeaways (numbered) - Clear CTA - Engagement prompt

Example Workflow
User: "Hey, I want to create some YouTube content this week"
Claude: [Phase 1] "Great! Quick questions - what's your audience like,
and any topics you're excited about or want to avoid?"

Open to anything but want to stay positive."
Claude: [Phase 2] *Performs 4-5 web searches for trending topics,
Reddit discussions, recent news*
Claude: [Phase 3] "Based on what I found, here are 4 ideas..."
*Presents structured ideas with hooks and validation*
User: "Love idea #2, but can we make it more for beginners?"
Claude: [Phase 4] "Absolutely, here's the refined version..."
User: "Perfect, let's do it!"
Claude: [Phase 5] *Delivers full script with hook, structure,
timestamps, and production notes*
