Workflow
1. Read Skill Guidelines
Read these files to understand YouTube script format, templates, and tone:
.Codex/skills/yt-script/SKILL.md.Codex/skills/yt-script/references/style-guide.md
These define the script structure: Tags, Research, Audience Reactions, Title, Thumbnail Text, Thumbnail Ideas, Description, Links, Outline, Intro.
2. Read Content Engine Data
Read content-engine/output/DAILY_DIGEST.md
List content-engine/output/topics/ folders, sort by name, read all .md files from the most recent date folder.
3. Read Daily Notes
List Dynamous/Daily Notes/ files (format: YYYY-MM-DD.md), sort by name, read the most recent one.
Look for IMPORTANT markers (must include) vs general ideas (context only).
4. Web Research
Search 5-7 key topics from the digest for current news and trends.
5. Prioritize
- IMPORTANT items from daily notes (must include)
- Digest items (primary source)
- General daily note ideas (use to weight digest items)
6. Generate Scripts
Get today's date. Create folder: Dynamous/Content-Ideation/YouTube/YYYY-MM-DD/
For each selected idea, create a script following the yt-script SKILL.md format:
- Include Source Attribution at the top (digest item #, original URL from topic file, deep dive path)
- Fill all sections per the skill guidelines
- Use the style-guide.md patterns for titles, hooks, tone
- Apply the user's characteristic phrases
Write each script to Dynamous/Content-Ideation/YouTube/YYYY-MM-DD/{slugified-topic}.md
7. Create Index
Create Dynamous/Content-Ideation/YouTube/YYYY-MM-DD/index.md:
# YouTube Scripts - YYYY-MM-DD
## Scripts Created
### 1. {Title}
- **File**: [{slug}.md](./{slug}.md)
- **Hook**: "{hook}"
- **Cohort**: {cohort}
## Ideas for Later
- {remaining ideas}
