Mine Winning Content Ideas With Claude (Prompts + Agent)
TL;DR
The hardest part of posting is knowing what to make before the trend peaks. Three copy-paste prompts make Claude do the fishing: mine your niche for the highest-demand angles you have not covered, rewrite the hooks that already work in your favor, and rank every idea by demand so you make the winners first. Then wire it to a daily cron and it hands you a ranked list every morning, hands-free.
Why guessing is the bottleneck
Filming is not the hard part - deciding what is worth filming is. Most people post from a blank page and hope. The fix is to start from demand: what your niche is already engaging with, which angles are underserved, and which hooks have proven they pull. That is research, and it is exactly the kind of work you can hand to Claude.
Prompt 1: mine the demand
textYou are a content researcher for the [YOUR NICHE] niche. List the 10
highest-demand angles in this niche right now, based on the recurring
questions, pains, and desires the audience keeps returning to. For
each, note who it is for and why it pulls. Then flag the 3 that are
most underserved - high demand, low quality supply.Prompt 2: rewrite the hooks that work
textHere are hooks that already performed in my niche: [PASTE 5-10].
Do not copy them. Extract why each worked - the mechanism - and
write 3 fresh hooks per mechanism for my topic: [TOPIC]. Keep them
specific and honest. No fabricated numbers.Prompt 3: rank by demand
textScore every idea below against three things: audience demand,
how underserved it is, and how well it fits me. Rank them and tell
me the top 5 to make first and why. Ideas: [PASTE YOUR LIST].Turn it into an agent
Once the three prompts work by hand, chain them into one agent and put it on a schedule. The agent pulls the top posts from the last 30 days in your niche, runs the mine-rewrite-rank sequence, and drops a ranked idea list somewhere you will see it - a doc, a channel, your inbox - every morning before you start.
- 1Chain the three prompts into a single flow that outputs a ranked list.
- 2Point it at your niche's recent top content as the input each run.
- 3Wire it to a daily cron so it runs itself and delivers the list on a schedule.
- 4Review the top 5 each morning and make the winners - the deciding is already done.
Common questions
Do I need to code to run the three prompts?
No. The three prompts work as plain copy-paste in any Claude conversation - fill in your niche and paste your examples. The agent and cron are the optional upgrade for when you want it to run itself daily.
Where does the agent get its data?
You point it at your niche's recent top-performing content as the input each run. It analyzes what is already pulling and finds the gaps - it does not invent trends, it reads the ones in front of it.
How is the agent different from just running the prompts myself?
Same logic, zero effort. Instead of you remembering to research, the agent runs the mine-rewrite-rank sequence on a schedule and hands you a ranked list every morning. You skip straight to making the winners.
Will this make my content sound generic?
Not if you use it for the research, not the writing. It finds proven angles and hooks; you bring your voice and your real examples. Steal the structure of what works, never the words.
