Difficulty: Beginner

# Content Repurposing Engine

Turn one source into a small set of channel-ready drafts without losing its argument.

**Outcome:** Create a week of useful content from one approved source while preserving evidence and voice.

**Category:** content

**Setup:** 15 minutes · Beginner

## Requirements

- One approved article, transcript, or research note
- Voice guide and target channel constraints

**Tools:** claude, chatgpt

## Expected output

Four edited channel drafts and a source-to-claim map

## Steps

### 1. Extract the source spine

Identify the thesis, evidence, examples, and important qualifications.

**Prompt**

```text
Return the thesis, three evidence-backed points, two examples, and every qualification. Quote source passages.
```

### 2. Map formats to jobs

Give each derivative a distinct audience job instead of repeating the same summary.

**Prompt**

```text
Plan four derivatives: teaching post, contrarian note, practical checklist, and short email. Assign one audience job to each.
```

### 3. Draft with traceability

Write each piece and attach source passage IDs to every factual claim.

**Prompt**

```text
Draft the four pieces in the supplied voice. Add hidden [S#] markers after factual claims for review.
```

### 4. Edit and approve

Remove unsupported claims, channel clichés, and duplicated openings before deleting internal source markers.

**Prompt**

```text
Audit every [S#] marker, flag unsupported wording, and propose a tighter final edit without changing the thesis.
```

## Limitations

Repurposing does not create new evidence; weak source material will produce weak derivatives.

## Privacy

Confirm the source is approved for reuse and remove confidential names or unpublished information.

Field note

How to use this route.

Each output has a different job, but every output shares the original source spine. This prevents the common failure mode where a repurposing system quietly invents a new argument.
