Video Idea Pipeline

Transform links and ideas into structured video content briefs.

When to Use ✅

• "Turn this into a video idea" + URL
• "Create a content brief from this article"
• "Give me video hooks for [topic]"
• "Outline a video about [subject]"
• Content ideation sessions

When NOT to Use ❌

• Just summarizing content → use `summarize` skill
• Researching a topic → use web search + knowledge base
• Scheduling content → use task management tools
• Actual video production → this is ideation only
