What it does

Ideate Notes is an agent skill from kenneth-liao/ai-launchpad-marketplace. Generate Substack Note ideas by scanning published YouTube videos, newsletters, and Notes. Use when the user says 'generate note ideas', 'what should I post on Notes', 'note ideas from my content', 'mine my videos for Notes', or wants to maintain a consistent Notes posting cadence.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Newsletters and Brainstorming. It works with Substack and YouTube.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says generate note ideas
  • What should I post on Notes
  • Note ideas from my content
  • Mine my videos for Notes

Example prompts

  • “generate note ideas”
  • “what should I post on Notes”
  • “note ideas from my content”
  • “/ideate-notes”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Load Processed Log and Content Bank
  2. Fetch Published YouTube Content
  3. Fetch Published Substack Content
  4. Fetch Web Trends
  5. Invoke creator-stack:extract-ideas with Ideation Reference
  6. Present Ideas to User
  7. Save to Content Bank
  8. Handoff Suggestion

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04b93d6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ideate Notes loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,309 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,309 words (~2,736 tokens).

“This orchestrator scans published content across YouTube and Substack, then delegates ideation to creator-stack:extract-ideas with the ideation reference file. It handles source fetching, processed-log management, and output persistence -- all actual idea generation logic is delegated to the foundation skill.”
