PHASE 1: SETUP (automated, no LLM needed for import)
  Step 0:   Import from Notion → SOURCE.md
  Step 0.5: Guest social research → GUEST_SOCIAL_RESEARCH.md
  Step 1:   SEO keyword research → SEO_Keywords.md

PHASE 2: AUDIT + HUMAN REVIEW
  Step 2:   Audit (angles, clips, cold opens, blog format assessment)
            → Checkpoint_1_Audit.md
  ────────── HUMAN CHECKPOINT: Select angle + approve clips ──────────
  Step 3:   Title + thumbnail variations (YouTube title + blog title)
            → Title_Options_By_Angle.md
  ────────── HUMAN CHECKPOINT: Select title + thumbnail ──────────

PHASE 3: HANDOFF ASSEMBLY (converges to one document)
  Step 4:   On-screen hook generation (3-4 per clip, * on recommended)
  Step 5:   Final clip markup (3 short + 2 long, edit-ready)
  Step 6:   Cold open assembly (2-3 options from selected clips)
  Step 7:   YouTube description + chapters (single code block, includes blog + transcript links)
  Step 8:   Narrative snippets extraction → blog post draft
  Step 9:   Social tagging strategy + platform post drafts
  Step 10:  Blog thumbnail + infographic generation (nano-banana-image-generator)
            → 3 Notion subpages + images in handoff folder

python3 /Users/charliedeist/Desktop/New\ Root\ Docs/.claude/scripts/notion_import.py <page_id> --title -o "Studio/Podcast Studio/[Guest-Name]/prep/SOURCE.md"

You are auditing a podcast transcript for content production.

Episode: [Guest Name]
Working directory: [path to prep/]

Read SOURCE.md (the full transcript).

Produce Checkpoint_1_Audit.md with:
- 3-5 angles (1-sentence pitch each)
- 5-8 short clip candidates (30-90 sec, verbatim with timestamps)
- 3-4 long clip candidates (2-5 min, narrative arc + opening hook verbatim)
- 2-3 cold open montage arrangements
- Day-in-the-life assessment (yes/no with reasoning)
- Full timestamp index

Rules: ALL quotes verbatim. Mine the entire transcript. Bold over safe.

**Style selection guide:**
- **watercolor-line** (DEFAULT) - Warm, editorial, works for narrative/emotional episodes
- **opened-editorial** - Conceptual wit, better for data-driven or contrarian episodes
- **minimalist-ink** - High contrast, good for "bold statement" thumbnails

**Concept brainstorm:** Before generating, brainstorm 4-6 visual concepts with the user. Avoid generic education cliches (no lightbulbs, no raised hands, no stacks of books). Favor metaphor over literal depiction.

**Infographic principles:**
- Visual hierarchy does the work, not text
- Labels only, no explanatory paragraphs
- Icons should be hand-drawn style (not emoji)
- Clear left-to-right or top-to-bottom flow
- Pull key stats from the transcript (the guest's own data is most compelling)

python3 .claude/scripts/notion_markdown.py [file] --parent-id [episode-page-id] --title "[Subpage Title]"

~~strikethrough~~ = cut this (editor removes)
*italics* = minor smoothing edit (change spoken word)
[SWOOSH] = visual transition between unrelated segments
[AMAR] = speaker label
