Workflow\r

\r

1. Requirement Understanding → Determine the analysis domain, target platforms, and time range\r
2. Data Collection → Perform layered search by platform, aggregate trend signals\r
3. Intent Analysis → Identify user pain points, interest shifts, and information gaps\r
4. Gap Mining → Compare existing content coverage to discover untapped opportunities\r
5. Outline Generation → Output structured article outlines + topic scores\r \r

Step 1: Requirement Understanding\r

\r Confirm with the user (if not explicitly provided):\r \r

• Domain/Industry: Technology, Finance, Health, Education, etc.\r
• Target Audience: B2B/B2C, technical level, region\r
• Target Platforms: Platforms where content will be published (affects style and depth)\r
• Time Range: Real-time trending / Last 7 days / Last 30 days / Quarterly\r
• Analysis Depth: Quick scan / Standard report / Competitive benchmarking\r \r

Step 2: Data Collection\r

\r Collect data in layers by priority, using the corresponding tool for each layer:\r \r

Layer 1: Trend Baseline (Mandatory)\r

\r | Platform | Tool | Content Collected |\r |----------|------|-------------------|\r | Google Trends | web_fetch trends.google.com | Search heat trends, related queries, geographic distribution |\r | Reddit | web_search site:reddit.com | Popular discussions, highly upvoted answers, community pain points |\r | YouTube | web_search site:youtube.com | Video popularity, comment sentiment, title keywords |\r \r

Layer 2: In-Depth Content (On Demand)\r

\r | Platform | Tool | Content Collected |\r |----------|------|-------------------|\r | Medium/Substack | web_search site:medium.com OR site:substack.com | Long-form topic selection, subscriber interaction, writing styles |\r | Twitter/X | web_search site:x.com | Real-time discussions, hashtags, KOL perspectives |\r | Zhihu/Weibo | web_search site:zhihu.com OR site:weibo.com | Chinese community Q&A, trending topics |\r | Baidu Index | web_fetch index.baidu.com | Chinese search trends, audience profiles |\r | Product Hunt | web_search site:producthunt.com | New product trends, technology directions |\r \r

Layer 3: Competitive Benchmarking (For In-Depth Reports)\r

\r | Platform | Tool | Content Collected |\r |----------|------|-------------------|\r | Competitor Blogs/Official Accounts | web_fetch + web_search | Existing content coverage, publishing frequency, engagement data |\r | GitHub Trending | web_search site:github.com/trending | Developer technology trends |\r \r Collection Strategy:\r

• Execute 2-3 targeted searches per platform (from different angles)\r
• Search query combinations: "{domain} + {time-related term}", "{domain} + pain point term", "{domain} + how/why/what"\r
• Record for each finding: source, popularity metric, core topic, user sentiment\r \r

Step 3: Intent Analysis\r

\r Perform the following analysis on the collected data:\r \r

1. Topic Clustering: Group similar topics; identify 3-5 core themes\r
2. Intent Classification:\r
   • 🎯 Learning (how-to, tutorials, guides)\r
   • 🤔 Exploratory (comparisons, reviews, analysis)\r
   • 😤 Pain Points (errors, problems, complaints)\r
   • 🚀 Forward-Looking (trend forecasts, new tools, best practices)\r
3. Sentiment Tendency: Positive/Negative/Neutral; identify controversial topics\r
4. User Personas: Infer technical level and role identity from discussion language\r \r

Step 4: Gap Mining\r

\r Compare existing content with user needs:\r \r

Existing Content Coverage Matrix:\r
  Topic A: ████░░░░ 50% (Lacks advanced content)\r
  Topic B: ██░░░░░░ 25% (Significant gaps)\r
  Topic C: ████████ 90% (Saturated; difficult to differentiate)\r
  Topic D: ░░░░░░░░  0% (Blue ocean opportunity)\r
```\r
\r
Scoring Dimensions:\r
- **Demand Intensity** (search volume + discussion heat) → Scale of 1-5\r
- **Content Gap** (insufficient existing coverage) → Scale of 1-5\r
- **Differentiation Potential** (likelihood of a unique angle) → Scale of 1-5\r
- **Timeliness** (current heat window) → Scale of 1-5\r
- **Composite Recommendation Score** = Weighted average\r
\r
## Step 5: Outline Generation\r
\r
See [references/outline-templates.md](references/outline-templates.md) for output format.\r
\r
Generate for each high-scoring topic:\r
\r
### Article Outline Structure\r
\r
```\r
## [Topic Title]\r
- Recommendation Score: X.X/5.0\r
- Target Platform: [Platform]\r
- Estimated Word Count: [Word Count]\r
- Difficulty: [Beginner/Intermediate/Expert]\r
\r
### Core Value Proposition\r
[One sentence explaining what the reader will gain]\r
\r
### Outline\r
1. [Introduction hook - based on real user pain points]\r
   - Data Support: [Cite trend data]\r
2. [Core Argument 1]\r
   - Sub-points + Examples/Data\r
3. [Core Argument 2]\r
   - Sub-points + Examples/Data\r
4. [Core Argument 3]\r
   - Sub-points + Examples/Data\r
5. [Conclusion + Call to Action]\r
\r
### SEO Recommendations\r
- Primary Keyword: [Keyword]\r
- Long-Tail Keywords: [KW1], [KW2], [KW3]\r
- Title Alternatives: [Alt Title 1], [Alt Title 2]\r
```\r
\r
### Topic Ranking Report\r
\r
Generate a comparison table of all candidate topics:\r
\r
```\r
| Rank | Topic | Rec. Score | Demand Intensity | Content Gap | Differentiation | Timeliness |\r
|------|-------|-----------|-----------------|-------------|----------------|------------|\r
| 1    | ...   | 4.5       | 5               | 4           | 4              | 5          |\r
```\r
\r
## Output Format Selection\r
\r
- **Quick Scan**: Concise table + Top 3 outlines\r
- **Standard Report**: Full analysis + Top 5 outlines + Gap matrix\r
- **In-Depth Report**: Full dataset + Competitive benchmarking + Top 10 outlines + Monthly recommendations\r
\r
## Notes\r
\r
- Annotate all data points with source URLs to ensure traceability\r
- Distinguish between "noise topics" (short-term hype) and "trend topics" (sustained growth)\r
- For Chinese content, prioritize data from Zhihu, Weibo, and Baidu Index\r
- For English content, prioritize Google Trends, Reddit, and Hacker News\r
- For tech topics, additionally check GitHub Trending and Stack Overflow
