Workflow (High-Level)

Step 1: Strategic Context

Read knowledge sources (ICP, YouTube strategy)
Understand current channel needs, content gaps, and what's performing
Ask the user: "Are you looking for ideas around a specific theme, or open to anything?"

Step 2: Research & Generate

Use WebSearch to research trending topics, competitor content, audience questions
Identify content gaps in the space
Generate 10 video ideas, each with:
- Topic (1 sentence)
- Why it would work for Ben's audience (1 sentence)
- Estimated appeal: search-driven / trend-driven / evergreen / contrarian
- Content pillar it fits into

Step 3: Evaluate & Rank

User selects their top 3-5 favorites
For each selected idea, provide:
- Competitive analysis (what already exists on YouTube)
- Unique angle Ben could take
- Estimated difficulty (easy / medium / hard to produce)
- Funnel impact (awareness / consideration / conversion)

Step 4: Mini-Briefs

For the user's top picks, create 2-3 sentence mini-briefs
Suggest the order to produce them
Recommend: "Ready to flesh one of these out? Use /youtube-brief to create the full brief."

Next step after ideation: Use /youtube-brief to turn a selected idea into a full video brief.
