Research Skill
Generate video ideas for a given topic and push them into Airtable.
Airtable Configuration
Update these with your own base and table IDs:
- Base: [Your Base Name] ([your-base-id])
- Table: [Your Table Name] ([your-table-id])
Process
- Research the given topic using web search to understand the current landscape
- Identify gaps — what questions are unanswered, what demos are missing
- Generate 10 video ideas with titles optimized for YouTube (6-8 words, under 50 characters)
- Assign each idea to the most relevant content category
- Use the Airtable MCP to create records in the table
- Set Status to "Idea" for all new records
- Use typecast: true when creating records so select values are matched by name
- Return a summary table of what was added
Title Guidelines
- 6-8 words, under 50 characters
- Sentence case (capitalize first word and proper nouns only)
- Simple words a child could read aloud
- One subject per title
- "How I" is stronger than "How to"
- Parenthetical kickers add a second hook: (+ my setup), (honest take), (from scratch)
