Context you provide

• {{episode_topic}}: The main subject of the podcast episode.
• {{target_audience}}: Who the episode is for (e.g., young professionals, hobbyists).
• {{episode_length}}: Approximate duration (e.g., 30 minutes) to shape the script's depth.
• {{tone}}: Desired vibe (e.g., conversational, educational, inspirational).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Outline the episode with a hook, 3–5 key segments, and a strong conclusion that ties back to the topic.
3. For each segment, provide a brief description, suggested talking points, and a transition to the next part.
4. Include an intro that sets expectations and a call-to-action for listeners (e.g., subscribe, share).
5. Suggest a few potential guest angles or expert quotes to enrich the discussion, if relevant.

Output format A structured script outline with clear headings for each segment, bullet-point talking points, and estimated time allocations. Keep the tone aligned with the requested vibe.

Guardrails

• Do not invent statistics or expert quotes; flag where research is needed.
• Stay focused on the given topic and audience; avoid tangents.
• Keep the outline practical and ready for recording.
