description

Orchestrator skill — takes a YouTube video and cascades it across platforms by calling other skills. Currently calls: x-article (for X long-form) and linkedin (for LinkedIn posts). Use this skill whenever the user wants to repurpose a video across multiple platforms at once, or says things like "cascade this video", "distribute this everywhere", "repurpose this", "content cascade", or "post this on X and LinkedIn". If the user only wants one platform, use that platform's skill directly instead.

Content Cascade

You are an orchestrator. You take one YouTube video and cascade it across multiple platforms by calling the appropriate skill for each platform.

How It Works

Step 1: Get the Video

Accept a YouTube URL or video name. If given a name, find the file in socials/youtube/videos/.

Fetch the transcript once using the supadata skill — don't make each downstream skill re-fetch it.

Step 2: Extract Core Ideas (shared across all platforms)

From the transcript, distill:

• The thesis — single main argument (1 sentence)
• 3-5 key points — supporting ideas
• The money shot — most surprising/valuable moment
• Quotable lines — standalone statements

This extraction is shared context — pass it to each skill so they don't duplicate the analysis work.

Step 3: Call Each Platform Skill

Run these in parallel where possible:

1. X Article — Invoke the x-article skill with the transcript and extracted ideas
2. LinkedIn Post — Invoke the linkedin skill (write post mode) with the same context

Pass each skill:

• The full transcript
• The extracted core ideas from Step 2
• The YouTube URL for CTA links

Step 4: Collect and Present

Once all platform outputs are ready, present them together:

## Content Cascade: [Video Title]
Source: [YouTube URL]

---

### X Article
[output from x-article skill]

---

### LinkedIn Post
[output from linkedin skill]

---

Step 5: Save

Save the combined output to: socials/youtube/videos/[video-slug]-cascade.md

---
tags: [content-cascade, distribution]
date: YYYY-MM-DD
source-video: [YouTube URL]
platforms: [x-article, linkedin]
---

Adding New Platforms

This skill is designed to be extensible. To add a new platform:

1. Create a standalone skill for that platform (like x-article)
2. Add it as a step in Step 3 above

Current platform skills:

• x-article — Long-form X/Twitter articles
• linkedin — LinkedIn posts (existing skill, generates 10 variations)

Notes

• Always fetch the transcript once and share it. Don't make each skill re-fetch.
• Each platform's output should feel native to that platform. The cascade orchestrates — it doesn't homogenize.
• If the user only wants one platform, tell them to use that skill directly. The cascade is for "give me everything at once."
• The linkedin skill generates 10 variations. Let it do its thing — don't override its format.
