+
+## Comprehension Quiz Workflow
+
+1. **Extract the transcript** with clipform_youtube_transcript - pass the YouTube URL. Returns transcript, title, channel, and duration.
+2. **Analyse the content** - identify:
+   - Key claims, facts, or arguments made in the video
+   - Specific details a casual viewer might miss
+   - The video's main thesis or conclusion
+   - Any surprising or counterintuitive points
+3. **Write comprehension questions** - these test whether someone WATCHED the video, not general knowledge:
+   - "According to the video, what is the main reason...?"
+   - "What example does the video use to illustrate...?"
+   - Include 1-2 inference questions: "Based on the video, why does the presenter believe...?"
+   - Avoid questions answerable without watching (e.g., common knowledge about the topic)
+4. **Adapt to the audience** - if specified (e.g., "for a 5-year-old"), simplify language, reduce option count, focus on concrete/visual details rather than abstract arguments
+5. **Create the form** with clipform_create_form:
+   - show_step_counter: true
+   - disable_back_navigation: true
+6. **Add questions** with clipform_add_node (type: "choice"):
+   - config: { choice: { show_answer_feedback: true } }
+   - randomise_options: true in config
+   - score: 1 on correct option, score: 0 on wrong
+   - 3-4 wrong answers per question - make distractors plausible (things someone might guess without watching)
+7. **Generate narration** with clipform_generate_tts - reference the video naturally: "If you watched closely, you'll know this one..." Keep each narration 5-10 seconds.
+8. **Build video** for each question:
+   - clipform_search_media (kind: "image") - 3 images per question
+   - clipform_generate_video - Ken Burns video synced to audio
+9. **Attach media** with clipform_upload_node_media. Include captions, set show_captions: true.
+10. **Update end screen** with clipform_update_node:
+    - show_score: true, icon: "trophy"
+    - show_share_button: true
+    - cta_type: "restart", cta_text: "Rewatch and try again?"
+    - score_ranges with messages that reference the video:
+      \`\`\`json
+      { "min": 0, "max": 2, "title": "Were you even watching?", "message": "Time for a rewatch - this video is worth it." },
+      { "min": 3, "max": 5, "title": "Casual Viewer", "message": "You caught the highlights but missed some details." },
+      { "min": 6, "max": 8, "title": "Focused Student", "message": "You were paying attention - impressive." }
+      \`\`\`
+11. **Publish** with clipform_update_form
+12. **Tag** - tags: ["quiz", "comprehension", "youtube"] + 2-3 topic words from the video
+13. **Log** with clipform_log_generation - include the YouTube URL, video title, and channel as sources
+
+## Question Types for Comprehension
+
+| Type | Example | Tests |
+|------|---------|-------|
+| Detail recall | "What specific number did the presenter mention?" | Active listening |
+| Sequence | "What was discussed BEFORE the section about...?" | Following the structure |
+| Inference | "Based on the video, why does the presenter believe...?" | Understanding arguments |
+| Contrast | "The video compares X and Y. What was the key difference?" | Comprehension depth |
+| Conclusion | "What was the presenter's final point?" | Watched to the end |
+
+Wrong answers should sound right to someone who didn't watch but googled the topic. The quiz should be unfair to non-watchers and fair to watchers.
+
+## Before building, ask
+
+1. What's the YouTube URL?
+2. How many questions? (default: 8)
+3. Who's the audience? (age, knowledge level)
+4. Media style: text only, still images, or slideshow video with narration?`

+## How it differs from a trivia quiz
+
+A trivia quiz tests general knowledge. A comprehension quiz tests whether someone watched a specific piece of content. The questions should be **unfair to non-watchers and fair to watchers**.
+
+| | Trivia Quiz | Comprehension Quiz |
+|---|---|---|
+| Source | Research + your knowledge | The video transcript |
+| Questions | General facts | Specific claims from the video |
+| Wrong answers | Common misconceptions | Things you'd guess without watching |
+| Goal | Entertainment + learning | Proof of watching + retention |
+
+## Extracting questions from transcripts
+
+Read the transcript looking for:
+
+1. **Specific numbers or data** - "The presenter says it takes X days to..." (detail recall)
+2. **Causal claims** - "According to the video, this happens because..." (comprehension)
+3. **Examples used** - "What example does the presenter use to explain...?" (attention)
+4. **Sequence of topics** - "What does the presenter discuss right after...?" (structure following)
+5. **The main argument** - "What is the presenter's main point about...?" (thesis comprehension)
+6. **Counterintuitive points** - anything the presenter says is surprising or commonly misunderstood
+
+## Distractor design (wrong answers)
+
+Make wrong answers plausible to someone who **didn't watch**:
+
+- Use correct facts from other sources about the same topic (tests whether they watched THIS video)
+- Include things that sound likely based on the title alone
+- For number questions, use nearby values that seem reasonable
+- Never include obviously joke answers - every option should feel possible
+
+## Audience adaptation
+
+| Audience | Question style | Language | Count |
+|----------|---------------|----------|-------|
+| Young children (5-8) | Concrete details, visual moments | Simple, short sentences | 4-6 |
+| Older children (9-12) | Details + basic inference | Clear, direct | 6-8 |
+| Teens (13-17) | Inference + sequence + argument | Natural, conversational | 6-10 |
+| Adults | Full range including critical analysis | Match the video's register | 6-10 |
+
+For young children: focus on "What did you SEE?" and "Who did what?" rather than abstract arguments.
+
+## Narration style
+
+Reference the video naturally but don't spoil:
+
+- "If you were paying attention during the bit about..."
+- "This is one of those details most people miss..."
+- "The presenter made a really specific claim here..."
