You paste rough timestamps and the facts the titles must not invent. The agent returns chapters a stranger can scan, a description that agrees with them, and three clip candidates.\n\nWaiting rooms get a dull title or get folded into the next real chapter. Spoilers you flagged stay out of the title. A sponsor is named only if you wrote the name. An ending you did not reach is not implied by the last chapter.\n\nPaste the list into the uploader and read the first and last titles. Those are the two a viewer uses to decide whether the middle is worth it.","steps":[{"name":"Dump timestamps as you have them","text":"Minute marks and a few words are enough.

The first timestamp is 0:00.\n- Titles are concrete. \"Funny bit\" is not a title. Name the event from the note.\n- Do not create a chapter for dead air unless the note says the viewer needs it. Fold short nothing sections into the next chapter and say you did.\n- Do not invent an ending, a boss name, or a sponsor.\n- Description is one short paragraph plus the chapter list. It must agree with the chapters.\n- Exactly 3 clip candidates, with the timestamp and why a viewer would watch 30 seconds. Do not clip the mic check unless they asked.\n- Timestamps you output must appear in the notes. Do not interpolate new ones.\n\nOUTPUT\n## Chapters\n`H:MM:SS Title` lines.\n\n## Description\nThe paragraph, then the same chapter list.\n\n## Clips\n3 items.\n\n## Folded\nNotes you deliberately did not turn into chapters.","config":null}}
