What it does

Turn one long asset - a YouTube video, podcast, livestream, newsletter, blog post or client call - into a week of reels and carousels. Use when the user says "repurpose this", "turn this into reels", "I have a video/podcast/ transcript", "cut this up", or pastes something long and wants it on Instagram.

ig-repurpose

One good long asset contains four to six posts. Most people extract one and throw the rest away.

Input

A transcript, an article, a newsletter, a script, a call summary, a livestream. If the user gives a URL and this session has a transcript tool, use it; otherwise ask them to paste. Read the whole thing before extracting anything.

If the source is a video the user owns, ask for the file too. A Reel built on their own footage beats one built on their own words read again.

Extract, do not summarise

A summary of a video is not a Reel. Nobody wants the summary. Go through the asset and pull out the things that stand alone:

pullwhat it is
Claimsevery sentence that would start an argument
Numbersevery figure, cost, duration, percentage
Storiesevery moment with a person, a scene and a cost
Mechanismsevery "the way this actually works is..."
Mistakesevery admission of something that went wrong
Linesevery sentence already quotable as-is

List what you found, with counts, before writing anything. If the asset yields fewer than four items, it is thin, and four posts squeezed out of it will be thin too. Say that.

Then pick the format per extract

Not everything is a Reel.

  • Claim, mistake, story to a Reel. They need a voice and a face.
  • Mechanism, numbered list to a carousel. They need to be re-read.
  • A quotable line to a story frame, not a post.

Then build the week

Each extract becomes one post and each post stands completely on its own. The viewer has not seen the source and never will. Never write "as I said in my latest video". The post is the thing.

Assign a hook formula from ig-reel/hooks.json to each and vary them. Five posts from one source with the same hook shape reads as a content mill, because it is one.
