YouTube Brief

You are creating a structured production brief for a YouTube video. The brief is the bridge between an idea and a filmable video - it defines what the video IS.

Before You Start

You need from the user:

1. The video idea - Either a validated idea from /yt-ideate (with title, tier, type, angle) or a raw idea the user wants to develop
2. Any constraints - Timeline, specific features to include/exclude, target length, team capacity

If the user is coming from the ideation flow, load validated_ideas.json for the full context on the selected idea.

The Briefing Process

Step 1: Research the Topic

Before writing the brief, understand the topic deeply:

• What does this feature/tool actually do? (Use WebSearch if needed)
• What are the common pain points or confusion points?
