Transform published content into formats suitable for other platforms (X threads, LinkedIn, newsletter, video script, etc.)

## Philosophy

> "If you can repurpose, don't rewrite. One piece of content should spawn many children."

Based on [[glue-coding]] principles: reuse mature content, adapt for new contexts, minimize original creation.

## Step 1: Load Source Content

```bash
cd /home/kang/apps/content-forge/content-forge
obsidian files folder="04-published"
```

Or target specific content:
```bash
obsidian read path="04-published/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md"
```

## Step 2: Analyze Source Structure

Identify:
- **Core insight**: What's the main value proposition?
- **Key points**: 3-5 extractable ideas
- **Format elements**: Code blocks, lists, quotes, examples
- **Tone**: Technical/Casual/Educational
- **Length**: Word count and reading time

## Step 3: Select Target Platforms

| Platform | Best For | Typical Length |
|----------|---------|-----------------|
| **X/Twitter** | Hot takes, thread series | 280 char × N tweets |
| **LinkedIn** | Professional insights | 500-1000 words |
| **Newsletter** | Deep dives, tutorials | 1000-2000 words |
| **Xiaohongshu** | Visual + text, lifestyle | 500-800 words + images |
| **Video Script** | Tutorials, stories | 1000-1500 words (3-5 min) |
| **Infographic** | Data, processes | Visual summary |
| **Podcast** | Conversations, stories | 1500-2500 words (10-15 min) |

## Step 4: Generate Repurpose Plan

For each target platform, specify:
1. **Angle**: What aspect of the original content fits this platform?
2. **Cut**: What to remove? (too technical, too long, wrong tone)
3. **Add**: What's needed? (hooks, examples, visuals)
4. **Format**: Structure for this platform

## Output Format

```
=== Repurpose Plan ===
Source: [original title]
Path: 04-published/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md
Core Insight: [one sentence summary]

## Repurpose Targets

### 1. X Thread Series
Angle: [specific angle for X audience]
Thread Structure:
  Tweet 1 (Hook): [hook statement]
  Tweet 2-4 (Core): [key points]
  Tweet 5 (CTA): [call to action]
Effort: Low
Estimated Reach: [X impressions]

### 2. LinkedIn Post
Angle: [professional angle]
Format: [listicle/carousel/text post]
Hook: [opening line]
Key Takeaway: [main insight]
Effort: Medium
Estimated Reach: [LinkedIn impressions]

### 3. Newsletter Section
Angle: [subscriber value]
Section Type: [main feature/tutorial/case study]
Headline: [newsletter headline]
Effort: Low (reuse existing)

### 4. Video Script (Optional)
Angle: [visual storytelling angle]
Duration: [X minutes]
Key Scenes: [list 3-5 visual moments]
Effort: High

## Recommended Execution Order
1. [lowest effort, highest reach item]
2. [next priority item]
3. [high effort items - schedule separately]

## Assets to Create
- [ ] X thread graphics (use baoyu-xhs-images)
- [ ] LinkedIn carousel (use baoyu-infographic)
- [ ] Newsletter header image (use baoyu-cover-image)

## Next Actions
1. [immediate action]
2. [scheduled action]
3. [future consideration]
```

## Integration with Other Commands

- Use `/promote` first to identify promotion opportunities
- Use `/repurpose` to plan the actual content transformation
- Use `write-article` skill to generate new drafts from repurposed content
- Use `baoyu-*` skills to generate platform-specific assets

## Frontmatter Updates

After repurposing, update source file:
```yaml
repurposed_to:
  - slug: x-thread-YYYY-MM-DD
  - slug: newsletter-issue-XX
evergreen: true  # Mark as reusable for future repurposing
```

## Tips

- **One-to-Many**: One article should spawn at least 3 derivative pieces
- **Platform-Native**: Adapt tone and length for each platform, don't just copy-paste
- **Asset Reuse**: Generate images once, use across all platforms
- **Link Back**: Always reference the original article
- **Schedule Gap**: Don't release all formats same day - stagger for maximum impact
