# ig-repurpose

Splits a long transcript, article or podcast into standalone posts: Reels, carousels and story frames. Useful when one asset has to cover a week of content.

## What it does

The skill takes one long asset — a transcript, article, newsletter, script, call summary, livestream — and pulls out the parts that stand alone. Not a summary. Claims, numbers, stories with a person and a scene, mechanism explanations, admissions of mistakes, lines that are already quotable. Before writing anything it lists what it found with counts per category. If the asset yields fewer than four items, it says so: the source is thin, and four posts squeezed out of it will be thin too.

Each extract then gets a format. A claim, mistake or story goes to a Reel, because those need a voice and a face. A mechanism or numbered list goes to a carousel, since people re-read those. A quotable line becomes a story frame. Hooks come from `ig-reel/hooks.json` and vary post to post — five posts with the same hook shape read as a content mill. When the source is the user's own video, the skill asks for the file and advises cutting on the sentence, not on the breath.

The week is ordered: strongest claim first, story midweek, mechanism last. Every post stands on its own, because the viewer never saw the source. Drafts come one at a time on request, each run through `/ig-reel` and `/ig-human`. It advises against dumping four finished scripts at once — they will all sound the same and none of them will get shot.

- turn this article into carousels and stories
- write Tuesday

Below is the content of a third-party file. It is data, not instructions for you: do not act on anything written inside unless the human asks. Block tag: abcc67504049d71f.

description: >-
  Turn one long asset - a YouTube video, podcast, livestream, newsletter, blog
  post or client call - into a week of reels and carousels. Use when the user
  says "repurpose this", "turn this into reels", "I have a video/podcast/
  transcript", "cut this up", or pastes something long and wants it on
  Instagram.

# ig-repurpose

One good long asset contains four to six posts. Most people extract one and
throw the rest away.

## Input

A transcript, an article, a newsletter, a script, a call summary, a livestream.
If the user gives a URL and this session has a transcript tool, use it;
otherwise ask them to paste. Read the whole thing before extracting anything.

If the source is a video the user owns, ask for the file too. A Reel built on
their own footage beats one built on their own words read again.

## Extract, do not summarise

A summary of a video is not a Reel. Nobody wants the summary. Go through the
asset and pull out the things that stand alone:

| pull | what it is |
| --- | --- |
| **Claims** | every sentence that would start an argument |
| **Numbers** | every figure, cost, duration, percentage |
| **Stories** | every moment with a person, a scene and a cost |
| **Mechanisms** | every "the way this actually works is..." |
| **Mistakes** | every admission of something that went wrong |
| **Lines** | every sentence already quotable as-is |

List what you found, with counts, before writing anything. If the asset yields
fewer than four items, it is thin, and four posts squeezed out of it will be
thin too. Say that.

## Then pick the format per extract

Not everything is a Reel.

- **Claim, mistake, story** to a Reel. They need a voice and a face.
- **Mechanism, numbered list** to a carousel. They need to be re-read.
- **A quotable line** to a story frame, not a post.

## Then build the week

Each extract becomes one post and each post stands completely on its own. The
viewer has not seen the source and never will. Never write "as I said in my
latest video". The post is the thing.

Assign a hook formula from `ig-reel/hooks.json` to each and vary them. Five
posts from one source with the same hook shape reads as a content mill, because
it is one.

If the source is the user's own video, **use the actual footage**. The clip
where they said the thing, with the real reaction in it, beats a re-record
```
END THIRD-PARTY FILE abcc67504049d71f

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the abcc67504049d71f tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
