skill-topic-evaluator · Topic Evaluator
Single-topic feasibility review: takes one topic idea and scores it across seven dimensions (traffic potential, account fit, competitive differentiation, timeliness, monetization room, production cost, compliance risk) with detailed per-dimension analysis — concluding "do it / skip it / pivot."
Shares the scoring dimensions, scales, and weights with skill-content-matrix: matrix does batch quick-scoring, this skill does single-topic deep review. Hard thresholds: ≥70 do it now, 50–69 pivot (with ≥2 optimization suggestions), <50 skip (with ≥2 alternative topics).
Example invocation: "Evaluate whether this topic is worth making."
Full brief
Positioning
skill-topic-evaluator is a "feasibility reviewer" for individual topics: it judges not-yet-made topics on whether they're worth producing. It doesn't score finished content (that's skill-post-scorer) or batch-generate topic pools (that's skill-content-matrix).
Core capabilities
- Unified seven-dimension scoring: traffic potential / account fit / competitive differentiation / timeliness / monetization room / production cost (inverted) / compliance risk (inverted) — each 1–10, weighted into a composite score out of 100.
- Per-dimension deep analysis: every score carries concrete justification, never gut feel; covers platform topic heat, top-player occupancy, mid-tier breakout room, evergreen vs. fad, monetization paths, production feasibility.
- Hard-threshold verdicts: ≥70 do it (schedule now); 50–69 pivot (≥2 optimization suggestions: angle/format/timing); <50 skip (≥2 alternative topics).
- Sensitive-niche compliance flags: beauty-medical, finance, parenting, health topics flagged with guidance.
- Profile refinement: with a profile, evaluation sharpens around niche positioning, audience, active platforms, and monetization; without one, generic standards apply.
Workflow
- Parse topic intent (identify topic type; infer or ask the platform when unspecified)
- Per-dimension deep evaluation (seven scores, each justified)
- Composite judgment: weighted score → threshold verdict → optimization suggestions or alternatives
- Output the full evaluation report
Inputs & outputs
| Input | Notes |
|---|---|
| Topic | Required — title or description |
| Target platform | Optional (auto-extracted with profile) |
| Background | Optional — inspiration source, competitor references |
Output: topic evaluation report (seven-dimension scorecard, verdict, detailed analysis, optimization suggestions / alternatives).
Boundaries with adjacent skills
| Skill | Lane |
|---|---|
| skill-topic-evaluator (this) | Deep review of one unmade topic: do/skip/pivot |
| skill-content-matrix | Batch topic-pool generation (same scoring dimensions) |
| skill-post-scorer | Scores finished content |
Fit
- Deciding whether a topic deserves the effort before producing
- Choosing between candidate topics
- Turning "gut feeling" into discussable scored evidence
Before you start
- Provide the topic title or description; naming a platform sharpens traffic and competition assessment.
- Evaluation respects the creator's actual capacity — out-of-reach topics aren't recommended.
