Example run
The artifact is the proof.
Tested 2026-07-12 · Claude (Fable 5)
Scenario: A 47-minute podcast interview with the co-founder of a Tampa meal-prep kitchen about going pre-order-only, turned into shorts.
Sample artifact
From the example runCLIP 1 — 20/20 (Standalone 5 / Payoff 5 / Specificity 5 / Tension 5). HOOK (contradiction): "Everyone says food businesses need delivery apps. We quit all three." BEATS: 0-3s hook to camera, overlay "WE QUIT DOORDASH" / 3-15s fee statement insert, 27% commission line circled / 15-45s the month all three apps got cut, margin per bowl before-after as text overlays / final 5s: "The pre-order switch checklist is in the bio." CUT LIST: origin story — killed by payoff speed (1); hiring advice — killed by specificity (1).
Before
The episode sat as one long upload — no clip list, no way to tell a strong moment from a favorite one.
After
7 moments mined across 4 transcript chunks, 2 killed by the rubric (scores shown, killing axis named), 5 clips built with hooks, timed beats, 5 platform captions each, 3 overlay candidates, and a filled upload checklist.
Run it like this
- 01Paste the transcript into the master prompt with audience and CTA — chunk it first if the source runs over 30 minutes
- 02Score all 7 mined moments on the four axes and apply the kill rules; keep only survivors
- 03Build each survivor: pick a hook formula, write beats against the 0-3 / 3-15 / 15-45 / final-5 skeleton, one CTA
- 04Fill the caption matrix per platform and choose overlay text from the 3 candidates
- 05Run the upload checklist on every clip before anything gets scheduled
