Produces complete podcast show notes from a transcript or episode outline - a standalone summary block, timestamped chapters that name what happens, screenshot-worthy key takeaways, guest bio, curated links, and keyword placement for search. Use when someone says "write show notes for this episode", "turn this transcript into an episode description", "add chapters and timestamps", or "make this episode findable on Google". Do NOT use to fan the episode out into clips, quote cards, and social posts - use content-repurposing instead; do NOT use to write burned-in video captions from the transcript - use captions-from-transcript instead; do NOT use to pitch the show to other podcasts - use podcast-pitch instead.

# Show Notes Writer

Show notes are the SEO and discoverability layer of a podcast episode, serving three audiences at once: the search engine indexing the page, the new listener deciding whether to press play, and the returning listener skimming for one specific moment. Skipping them, or pasting a transcript dump, throws away the compounding search value every episode should accrue - the costly mistake this skill prevents.

## Operating procedure

### Step 1: gather inputs

1. The transcript (preferred) or a detailed episode outline. Without either, stop and request one - show notes written from memory invent timestamps.
2. Guest name, title, and preferred links, if an interview episode.
3. The episode's primary keyword: the phrase a searcher would type to find this content. If the host has not chosen one, propose one from the transcript and label it a suggestion.
4. Episode length, to set the chapter count.
5. The host's standing links (newsletter, community, sponsor), which always go last.
