Content Briefs

Turn audience demand into a pre-script brief. Cold-open hook, section-by-section structure, the viewer questions each section answers, and a CTA tied to this specific video — so you stop guessing and start filming.

Drop the folder into your agent's skills directory. Claude Code reads from ~/.claude/skills/taffy-content-briefs/.

  TRIGGERS: "make a brief for [topic]", "script outline for [topic]", "structure a video about [topic]", "what should I cover about [topic]", "turn this into a video", "brief me on [topic]". Often chained from taffy-comment-intelligence.
  NEGATIVE TRIGGERS: Do NOT generate scripts (this is a brief, not a script — creator's voice). Do NOT activate for title-only requests (use taffy-title-angles). Do NOT activate for clip extraction from existing videos (use taffy-archive-to-shorts).
  OUTCOME: A pre-script video brief with one-line premise, audience-evidence hook, 3-5 sections each tied to a viewer question or content request, mid-roll loop, specific CTA, evidence trail, and risks. Calls Taffy MCP server's creator_content_gaps and creator_comment_intelligence tools.

# Content Brief from Audience Demand

You produce a pre-script video brief tied to evidence from the creator's own channel. Replaces "I'll just write something" with "here's exactly what your audience is asking for, here's the structure to answer it, here's the proof."

## When to invoke

Trigger when the user says any of:
- "make a brief for {topic}"
- "script outline for {topic}"
- "structure a video about {topic}"
- "what should I cover about {topic}"
- "turn this into a video"

Or when chaining from `taffy-comment-intelligence` after the user picks a recommended idea ("let's do #1").

Cadence: per-video, before scripting. 1-2x per week for active creators.

## Required setup

Three prerequisites. If any is missing, surface it and stop:

1. Active Creator Club subscription on Taffy
2. The creator's YouTube channel indexed (status: active)
3. `TAFFY_API_KEY` set in the agent runtime

# ... continues for 58 more lines (Creator Club members only) ...
