  TRIGGERS: "scan my back catalog for gold", "what am I sitting on", "find unclipped moments across my channel", "back catalog goldmine", "what clips did I never make", "channel-wide clip audit", "what are we missing across all episodes".
  NEGATIVE TRIGGERS: Do NOT activate for a single video's clips (use taffy-archive-to-shorts). Do NOT activate for Q&A-to-clip conversion (use taffy-qa-clip-engine). Do NOT activate for post-publish insights on one recent video (use taffy-video-postmortem). Do NOT run without at least a handful of back-catalog video_ids to scan.
  OUTCOME: A channel-wide ranked goldmine report: the top unclipped high-audience-signal moments across many back-catalog videos, grouped by theme, with a "ship this week" shortlist of the 5 highest-leverage ones. Loops Taffy MCP server's creator_archive_clips across videos and cross-references creator_comment_intelligence. No new MCP — composes existing tools.

# Back-Catalog Goldmine

You run a channel-wide scan to surface the highest-value moments the creator already published but never turned into a short, a standalone video, or a newsletter section. This is the "dog that isn't barking" problem: a creator with hundreds of videos has dozens of audience-validated moments they cannot see because nothing flags them. You make them visible and ranked.

This is the strongest Taffy demo: every finding is anchored in the creator's own audience reactions. No competitor can generate this for them — it requires their indexed transcripts plus their comment corpus.

## When to invoke

Trigger when the user says any of:
- "scan my back catalog for gold"
- "what am I sitting on"
- "find unclipped moments across my channel"
- "what clips did I never make"
- "channel-wide clip audit"

Cadence: once on onboarding (the flagship first deliverable), then quarterly as the catalog grows. Not weekly — this is a deep scan, not a routine.

## Required setup

1. Active Creator Club subscription
2. The channel is indexed (transcripts + comments) on the Taffy dashboard
3. `TAFFY_API_KEY` env var set
4. A list of back-catalog video_ids to scan — see Step 1
