Walked the real orientation flow instead of dumping ideas outright: asked one question at a time, recommended Content Audit with stated reasoning, and set up a living tracker before surfacing a single candidate.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Ebook Discovery does

Runs a structured discovery conversation across 11 entry modes (content audit, expertise extraction, contrarian positions, zettelkasten mining, etc.) to surface ebook candidates from a creator's published content or unpublished expertise. Maintains a living tracker document across sessions with High/Med/Low viability ratings and hands qualified candidates off to a separate Concept Development step. Triggers on requests to brainstorm or discover ebook ideas from existing material, not to validate or draft a single already-chosen idea.
