Generate Substack Note Ideas

Overview

This orchestrator scans published content across YouTube and Substack, then delegates ideation to content-strategy:ideate with the ideation reference file. It handles source fetching, processed-log management, and output persistence -- all actual idea generation logic is delegated to the foundation skill.

This skill sits upstream of substack:create-note -- it produces a curated list of note ideas, while create-note writes the full note from a selected idea.

Core Principle: This is a thin orchestrator. Never generate ideas manually. Always delegate to content-strategy:ideate via references/substack-notes-ideation.md. This skill manages the source-scanning workflow, duplicate prevention, and output files only.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Generating a batch of Substack Note ideas from published content
• Finding new note topics between newsletter issues
• Maintaining a consistent Notes posting cadence
• Mining existing content for repurposable note angles
