BB podcast-pipeline
Full podcast production assistant covering three modes plus cross-episode tracking. (1) Interview Prep: deep guest research, tailored question set, backup question bank, and guest prep email. (2) Post-Recording: show notes, chapter/timestamp generation from the transcript, social clip suggestions for short-form, platform-specific social posts (X, LinkedIn, Instagram), and YouTube description. (3) Solo Episode: hook A/B variants, SEO-vs-CTR title rationale, outline, show notes, and platform-specific social posts. Cross-mode: lightweight episode history, sponsor/ad placement tracking, and series/season management. Use this skill whenever someone mentions a podcast episode, show notes, guest research, interview questions, episode transcript, chapter markers, podcast clip ideas, social posts for a podcast, sponsor tracking, or podcast content. Trigger on casual phrases too: 'I have a guest this week,' 'I need show notes,' 'can you prep me for my interview,' 'generate chapters from this transcript,' 'find the clip-worthy moments,' 'log this episode,' or 'who's sponsoring this season' should all activate this skill.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
