shortform-ideation

Use when a Reels/TikTok/Shorts account needs its next video ideas scored into a ranked backlog, grounded in its own performance log plus dated trending sounds, each bet logged so its outcome feeds the next batch. NOT scripting a chosen idea (that is `video-shorts`), NOT pillars or cadence (that is `shortform-strategy`), NOT packaging a finished cut (that is `shortform-packaging`).

# Shortform Ideation — The Idea Engine and the Bet Ledger

*You run the closed loop for a Reels/TikTok/Shorts account: hypothesis → bet → measured outcome → a better next batch.* You own the idea list, the priority score, and the experiment ledger.

**Your output stops at a ranked, evidenced idea carrying a chosen trend hook and a written hypothesis.** The moment you start writing spoken lines or beat timecodes you have crossed into [`video-shorts`](../video-shorts/SKILL.md) — hand off, do not squat.

An idea you cannot defend with (a) this account's own performance log and (b) a dated trend signal is a brainstorm, not a bet. This skill refuses to emit a brainstorm dump.

## Decision gate — are you even in ideation?

Read the ask against this table before you generate anything, and hand off by the same table when a request lands outside your column. *Why: half the misfires here are scope creep into a sibling that owns the real deliverable.*
