+# Research Compile — `/content research <topic>`
+
+> **Agents:** Madalena (Content Researcher) → Dinis (Info Compiler) | **Frameworks:** CRAAP + Pyramid Principle
+
+## Stage 1 — Research (Madalena)
+
+1. **KB pass** — vault first; cite `[[wikilinks]]` or declare the gap.
+2. **Source sweep** — Agent-Reach primary (YouTube transcripts of the
+   best existing pieces, X/Reddit discussion, articles via Jina/Exa),
+   firecrawl + WebSearch fallback; declare skipped platforms.
+3. **CRAAP filter** — every source rated (currency, relevance,
+   authority, accuracy, purpose); weak sources feed context, never
+   claims.
+4. **Claim ledger** — every factual claim gets a source URL + date.
+   Triangulate anything surprising (one source = anecdote, three =
+   fact).
+
+**Fail-closed sourcing:** a claim that cannot be verified is either cut
+or carried as `[UNVERIFIED]` in bold — it NEVER ships silently as fact.
+The scriptwriter and the Quality Gate treat `[UNVERIFIED]` as
+do-not-assert-on-camera.
+
+## Stage 2 — Compile (Dinis)
+
+Pyramid Principle: answer first, grouped support below, MECE groups,
+nothing missing and nothing extra. The brief is the CONTRACT the script
+phase consumes — if the scriptwriter has to re-research, this stage
+failed.
+
+## Production brief format (the deliverable)
+
+| Section | Content |
+|---|---|
+| Angle | one sentence — the take this piece exists to make |
+| Audience | who it's for + what they already believe |
+| Proof points | ranked, each with its citation |
+| Hook material | tensions, numbers, contradictions that earn the click |
+| Beat candidates | 5-8 story beats the scriptwriter can structure from |
+| Claim → source table | every claim, its URL, its date, its CRAAP grade |
+| [UNVERIFIED] ledger | anything carried unverified, and why |

+
+> **Agent:** Margarida (Trends & Niche Analyst) | **Frameworks:** Demand-First Content Audit + STEPPS (Berger)
+
+## Backends (multi-backend rule — declare the tier used)
+
+| Tier | Backend | Coverage |
+|---|---|---|
+| Primary | `agent-reach` CLI | X, Reddit, YouTube transcripts, GitHub, RSS, Exa web search |
+| Fallback | `firecrawl_search` + WebSearch | web + news |
+| Floor | KB-only | vault notes |
+
+Run `agent-reach doctor --json` first when using the primary; platforms
+that fail to pull are SKIPPED AND DECLARED in the report (degraded
+mode) — a dead cookie session never blocks the hunt or silently
+narrows it.
+
+## Method (demand-first — volume before ideation)
+
+1. **KB pass** — search the vault for prior notes on the niche
+   ([[Demand-First Content Audit]], [[Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone
+   (Content-Ads Loop)]], previous trend reports); cite hits or declare
+   the gap.
+2. **Signal sweep** — per platform: what is being discussed, at what
+   volume, growing or fading, by whom. Pull competitor transcripts for
+   the top-performing pieces (their hooks are data, not inspiration to
+   copy).
+3. **STEPPS scoring** — score each candidate trend on Social currency /
+   Triggers / Emotion / Public / Practical value / Stories (0-3 each,
+   max 18). Below 9 → discard.
+4. **Niche viability** (when hunting niches, not just topics) — rate
+   0-5 each: audience size, competition density (inverted), monetization
+   path, fit with the declared target (brand channel, personal brand,
+   client vertical, or experimental faceless). Show the matrix.
+5. **Angles** — top-N (default 5) content angles: working title, hook
+   material (the exact tension/claim/number that earns the click),
+   format recommendation (long-form / short / thread), and the evidence
+   line behind each.
+
+## Output
+
+Trend report to Obsidian `WizardingCode/Content/Trends/<date>-<niche>.md`:
+platform-by-platform signal (with declared skips), STEPPS-scored
+shortlist, viability matrix, top-N angles with hooks. Ends with the
+handoff line: which angles go to `/content research <topic>` next.

+| Capability | Full | Degraded | Manual |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Asset generation | Higgsfield MCP (`generate_image/video/audio`, `create_voice`, `motion_control`, `upscale`) | `arka-comfyui` local | asset brief: engine-ready prompts per shot |
+| Edit / render | Hyperframes skills (Node 22 + FFmpeg; load `/hyperframes` router) | Higgsfield `explainer_video` / `shorts_studio` server-side | edit-ready package: script + assets + shot list/EDL + SRT captions |

+## Pipeline (gates match the content-video workflow)
+
+1. **Brief** — target (brand channel / personal / client — anonymized /
+   new niche), format, platform, length. → user approval.
+2. **Research** — `/content research <topic>` contract: sourced
+   production brief (Madalena → Dinis). → user approval on the brief.
+3. **Script (Joana, Hollywood grade)** — beat sheet first (Save the
+   Cat / Story Circle adapted to length), then full script in
+   scene/shot/VO/on-screen-text columns; Hook Architecture on the first
+   30 seconds; 3 hook variants (Filipe). Never-default voice — no AI
+   clichés, no listicle cadence. → user approval.
+4. **Storyboard (Simão)** — shot list + per-shot generation prompts +
+   audio/VO plan + thumbnail package (Isabel, via the brand design
+   doctrine: benchmark named, `[arka:design]` marker emitted).
+   → **user approval (creative lock before money is spent)**.
+5. **Asset generation** — execute per the matrix. Voice via
+   `create_voice`/`generate_audio`; b-roll via `generate_video`
+   (cost-tier models for routine shots, hero models only for hero
+   shots); stills via `generate_image`; post via `remove_background`/
+   `upscale`/`reframe`. → **user approval on generated assets —
+   Higgsfield credits are metered; NEVER regenerate in a loop without
+   explicit approval.**
+6. **Edit / render** — load the `/hyperframes` router skill, pick the
+   workflow (`/talking-head-recut`, `/faceless-explainer`,
+   `/product-launch-video`…), compose in HTML+GSAP (load `gsap-core` +
+   `gsap-timeline` for motion graphics; `gsap-plugins` for kinetic
+   type/SplitText), add word-level captions (`/embedded-captions`),
+   render MP4. Degraded tier: hand assets+script to Higgsfield
+   `explainer_video`/`shorts_studio`. Manual tier: assemble the
+   edit-ready package and say exactly what a human editor gets.
+7. **Virality QA** — STEPPS audit pre-publish (Filipe) +
+   `virality_predictor`/`video_analysis` when Higgsfield is live
+   (hook strength, retention risk) + technical QC (sync, caption
+   accuracy, aspect ratios).
+8. **Quality Gate** — Marta + Eduardo (script/captions/description
+   copy) + Francisca (render quality, spec compliance). Binary.
+9. **Delivery** — master MP4 + 9:16 reframe + thumbnail + title/
+   description/tags + SRT + repurposing spec (Nuno, 1→30+). Output to
+   Obsidian `WizardingCode/Content/Video/<date>-<slug>/`.
+
+## Quality doctrine
+
+- The chosen backend tier is STATED in the delivery — never imply a
+  render happened when the manual package shipped.
+- Every visual asset follows the anti-default doctrine (squad reference
+  §8): the video must not look like every other AI video, same bar as
+  UI work.
+- Time and token cost are never arguments against a reshoot the QG
+  demands (excellence-mandate); the CostGovernor budget and the phase-5
+  approval gate are the only ceilings.
