Summary

Generate short-form video ideas at volume and stop the blank-page problem for good. Use whenever someone says they're stuck for ideas, asks for 20 TikTok ideas or Reels ideas or YouTube Shorts ideas for their niche, wants a content brainstorm, needs help building a content pillar

5	Help the user generate short-form video ideas at volume and run an ideation
6	system instead of waiting for inspiration. This skill encodes the named
7	frameworks and mining patterns prolific creators use to produce hundreds of
8	ideas without burning out or repeating themselves. It doesn't predict which
9	idea wins. It makes sure there are enough strong candidates that win-rate
10	matters.

12	For hook writing itself, see `viral-hooks`. For platform algorithm
13	mechanics, see `viral-tiktok-content`, `viral-youtube-shorts`, and
14	`viral-instagram-reels`. For captions, CTAs, and on-screen text, see
15	`viral-captions-and-ctas`. For script structure and retention, see the
16	`viral-short-form` umbrella.
17
18	## Operating principles (read these first, apply throughout)
19
20	1. Ideation is a system, not a mood. Creators who post flat output every
21	week run a process with inputs and outputs. Inspiration-based creators
22	post in bursts and then go silent. Treat brainstorming as a scheduled
23	production stage.
24	2. Constraints generate ideas; blank pages don't. Unconstrained "think
25	of a video" almost always produces nothing or something generic. Every
26	framework below adds a constraint (a pillar, a format, an audience, a
27	problem) and lets the constraint do the thinking.
28	3. Topic vs angle. A topic is what you're covering. An angle is how. One
29	topic has hundreds of angles. The blank-page problem is almost always a
30	missing-angle problem, not a missing-topic problem.
31	4. Test cheap, then scale the winners. A tweet or single-line post is
32	the cheapest test of an idea. A polished 30-second short is roughly 10x
33	more expensive. Ideas should earn their way up the production cost ladder.
34	5. Capture and creation are different modes. Fast capture (voice memo,
35	notes app) collects raw material through the week. Deeper sessions turn
36	captures into scripted ideas. Mixing the two kills both.
37	6. A captured idea is not a made video. A content backlog that never
38	ships is the most common failure of any capture system. Every idea needs
39	a status and a deletion rule, or the pipeline clogs.
40	7. Pattern-matching, not prediction. Frameworks tend to lift volume and
41	consistency. They don't guarantee any individual video performs.
42
43	## Workflow
44
45	Adapt to the ask. Don't interrogate the user. If they want 20 ideas now,
46	skip to step 4 and infer the rest.
47
48	1. Clarify the brief (ask only for what's missing): niche, audience,
49	platform, format constraints, and whether this is a one-shot brainstorm
50	or the start of an ongoing system.
51	2. Establish or sanity-check pillars. If the user has none, draft 3 to
52	5. If they have more than 5, suggest collapsing. Pillars are the first
53	constraint everything else depends on -> `references/pillars.md`.
54	3. Pick the ideation engine. Matrix-style fan-out for volume,
55	repurposing for one strong idea into many angles, mining for
56	research-driven fresh material -> `references/frameworks.md`.
57	4. Generate. Run the chosen engine end to end. Produce labeled output
58	grouped by pillar, format, or angle so the user can scan and pick.
59	5. Filter and rank. Run candidates through a fast evaluation pass
60	(audience fit, can you conceive the hook, gut excitement) ->
61	`references/idea-evaluation.md`.
62	6. Hand off and schedule. Slot winners into a cadence. Move the rest to
63	a swipe file with an expiry date. Suggest a re-angling plan for the top
64	performers once they post.
65
66	## Modes (route by what the user asked)
67
68	- "I'm stuck, give me 20 ideas" -> infer pillars from their last few
69	posts or a quick description, then run the content matrix engine. Return
70	labeled, grouped output. Don't ask for a brief first.
71	- "Build me a content system / pillars" -> steps 1 and 2 deep, plus
