Banger Repurpose — one idea → a whole platform package (the waterfall)

The 2025–2026 rule is: stop cross-posting, start repurposing. The same file everywhere trips duplicate-detection and throttles reach (up to ~42% Reels cut for duplicates, ~72% with a visible watermark). Deriving platform-native variants from one source does not. This skill is the orchestrator: it takes one source asset and produces a tailored package for every platform the user wants, delegating to the other BANGERS skills.

Freshness gate

Before applying a platform benchmark, algorithm claim, policy, feature-availability statement, or numeric performance claim from this skill or the platform playbook, check references/research/source-ledger.md for non-expired support. If support is missing or past its review date, run banger-research, qualify the claim as unverified, or omit it. Never present a legacy value as current truth.

Load first

• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/platforms/platform-playbook.md §10 (the waterfall + native-vs-cross-post rules) and the per-platform sections for whichever targets are chosen.
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/creators/_synthesis.md (produce one rich source, then atomize) + ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/frameworks/voice-and-audience.md (the creator's own defined audience — ask once if it isn't set).

Step 1 — identify the source and the core idea

Take whatever the user has (a long video, transcript, script, stream/podcast, article, or even a single idea) and extract: the ONE core idea, the 3–8 strongest self-contained moments/points, and any framework/list inside it. If there's no source yet, hand back to banger-ideas to pick one, or banger-script-longform to make the anchor first.

Step 2 — confirm the target platforms & effort

Ask (or infer) which platforms to hit and how deep. Default full waterfall = the anchor + short-form clips + a carousel + text posts. Don't silently drop platforms — list what you're producing.

Step 3 — run the waterfall (delegate to the sibling skills)

Produce, from the one source:

1. Anchor — the long-form piece (YouTube). If it doesn't exist yet → banger-script-longform.
2. Short-form clips (many) — pick the best 15–60s moments → banger-script-shorts, one hook + caption + native-sound note PER platform (Shorts / TikTok / Reels), each with a DIFFERENT first frame (duplicate detection weights the first ~0.5s).
3. Carousel — a framework/list from the source → banger-carousels (Instagram 4:5 + LinkedIn PDF).
4. X thread + Bluesky posts → banger-threads.
5. LinkedIn post, Substack issue (+ pull-out Notes), Facebook Group post → banger-longform-written.
6. Edit assets for the clips (reframe plan, captions/SRT, markers) → banger-edit.
7. Packaging for each surface (hooks/titles/thumbnails) → banger-hooks.

Step 4 — enforce the native rules (critical)

• Export a clean master with NO watermark before it touches TikTok; distribute that downstream.
• Give each clip its own first frame + native trending audio + caption style — never the same MP4 everywhere.
• Adapt the text container per platform (X = strong first line + media; LinkedIn = short-line mini-essay; IG caption front-loaded; Bluesky = conversational reframe, not a verbatim copy).
• Stagger publishing 24–72h, hit each platform's best time, upload native files (schedulers are fine).

Output format

Deliver an organized package, grouped by platform, each with the ready-to-use asset (script/post/caption) + its specs + posting note. Lead with a short repurposing map (source → this many clips + these posts) so the user sees the whole plan at a glance. Flag anything that still needs the user (footage to shoot, a screenshot to grab). If the package is large, offer to write each platform's assets to files and deliver them.

Living writing gate

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/frameworks/writing-quality.md before drafting. Apply creator-specific constraints and treat detector results as weak evidence.

Quality bar

Confirm every platform variant is genuinely native (own hook/first-frame/audio/text container), the watermark rule is stated, publishing is staggered, and nothing is a lazy identical cross-post.
