Workflow: Analyze Collaborator (/collab {handle})
Step 1: Research the Collaborator
Use WebSearch to gather information:
Search: "{handle} note" OR "site:note.com/{handle}"
Search: "{handle} X" OR "from:{handle}" (Twitter)
Search: "{handle} profile" "{handle} about"
Extract:
- Content topics and niche
- Audience size (approximate)
- Content style and frequency
- Platform presence (note, X, Instagram)
Step 2: Overlap Analysis
Compare your profile with the collaborator:
============================================
Collaboration Analysis
You × {collaborator_name}
============================================
--- Topic Overlap ---
Shared interests:
- {topic A} (you: {count} posts, them: {count} posts)
- {topic B} (you: {count} posts, them: {count} posts)
Your unique topics: {topic C}, {topic D}
Their unique topics: {topic E}, {topic F}
Overlap score: {percentage}%
(20-40% = ideal — enough common ground, enough differentiation)
(>60% = too much overlap — may feel competitive)
(<20% = too little overlap — hard to find common audience)
--- Audience Comparison ---
Your audience: {audience_description}
Their audience: {audience_description}
Overlap estimate: {low/medium/high}
New audience potential: {estimate}
--- Style Compatibility ---
Your style: {style.tone}
Their style: {observed_style}
Compatibility: {high/medium/low}
Step 3: Propose Collaboration Ideas
Based on the overlap analysis, suggest 3-5 collaboration ideas:
--- Collaboration Proposals ---
1. [Quick Win] Cross-Mention Thread
You tweet about {shared_topic}, mention {handle}'s perspective
They quote-tweet with their take
Effort: Low | Expected reach: +{estimate}% impressions
Draft tweet: "{draft_tweet_mentioning_them}"
2. [Medium] Interview on note
You interview {handle} about {their_unique_topic}
Publish on your note → they share with their audience
Effort: Medium | Expected reach: +{estimate}% new note followers
Topic: "{interview_topic_suggestion}"
5 interview questions:
Q1: {question}
Q2: {question}
Q3: {question}
Q4: {question}
Q5: {question}
3. [Ambitious] Joint 5-Day Series
Alternate publishing: Day 1 (you) → Day 2 (them) → ...
Topic: "{joint_series_topic}"
Your angle: {your_perspective}
Their angle: {their_perspective}
Effort: High | Expected reach: +{estimate}% for both
4. [Community] "{topic}" Challenge
7-day challenge where both audiences participate
Daily prompt published alternately by you and them
Effort: Medium | Expected reach: +{estimate}% engagement
Challenge outline: {brief_outline}
Which format interests you? (1-4 / or describe your own idea)
Step 4: Generate Outreach Message
After the user selects a format, draft an outreach message:
--- Outreach Message Draft ---
Platform: {X DM / note comment / email}
Subject: {collab_format}のご提案 — {your_name}
{collaborator_name}さん、はじめまして。
{your_name}と申します。{theme.main}について{platform}で発信しています。
{handle}さんの「{specific_content_reference}」の記事、とても参考になりました。
特に{specific_point}の視点は、私の読者にも響く内容だと思います。
ぜひ{collab_format_description}で一緒にコンテンツを作れないかと思い、
ご連絡しました。
{specific_proposal_details}
お互いの読者に新しい価値を届けられると思いますが、いかがでしょうか？

Customize this message before sending.
Step 5: Plan Execution
If the user proceeds, create an execution plan:
--- Collaboration Execution Plan ---
Format: {selected_format}
Partner: {collaborator_name}
Timeline: {proposed_dates}
Pre-collaboration:
[ ] Send outreach message
[ ] Agree on format, topic, and timeline
[ ] Share profile.json style notes (so content feels cohesive)
During:
[ ] {step_1}
[ ] {step_2}
[ ] {step_3}
Post-collaboration:
[ ] Cross-promote final content
[ ] Thank publicly on each platform
[ ] Measure reach/engagement increase
[ ] Record in content-history.json
Suggest Collaborators (/collab suggest)
If competitor-analysis.json exists, suggest from:
- Competitors with complementary (not identical) content
- Creators in adjacent niches found during research
- Active commenters/engagers from content-history
Potential Collaborators:
1. {name} — {niche}
Overlap: {percentage}% | Audience: ~{size}
Why: {reason this would be a good collab}
2. {name} — {niche}
Overlap: {percentage}% | Audience: ~{size}
Why: {reason}
3. {name} — {niche}
Overlap: {percentage}% | Audience: ~{size}
Why: {reason}
Analyze: /collab {handle} for detailed planning
