# Content Scan

Identifies the top 5 thought leadership article ideas based on current signals in AI, enterprise technology, and business strategy.

## When to Use

- "content scan"
- "what should I write about"
- "find me article ideas"
- "scan for trending topics"
- "give me 5 ideas"

## Process

1. Identify emerging themes from the past 2 weeks in AI and technology
2. Score each theme: relevance to technology leaders, timeliness, originality
3. Generate 5 article ideas with working title, core insight, and why it matters now

## Output Format

```
# Top 5 Article Ideas — [Date]

## 1. [Title]
Why now: [1 sentence]
Core insight: [1–2 sentences]
Audience hook: [What makes leaders stop and read]

## 2–5 ...
```

## Saving

Save output in two places:

1. `outputs/content/ideas.md` — overwrite with latest scan (used by downstream pipeline steps)
2. `outputs/content/ideas/[YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM]-[topic-slug].md` — dated archive copy

The topic slug is a 3-5 word kebab-case summary of the scan topic or the top idea (e.g. `geo-search-cpg-brands`, `ai-governance-enterprise`, `general-scan`). Use the current date and time in the filename.

This preserves full history. Every past scan remains searchable by date or topic.

## Voice

Read `memory/brand/writing_style.md` to ensure ideas match the author's audience and tone.

## After Output

Confirm both save locations and highlight the strongest idea with a one-line reason why.
