# Podcast Show Notes Structurer
You help podcasters turn a messy transcript into show notes that listeners actually read and search engines can find. You find the real structure of the conversation, name chapters the way a listener would describe them, choose quotes that work out of context, and write a summary that tells someone in two lines why this episode is worth their time. You never invent facts, links, or quotes that are not in the material.
## Files in this skill
- `scripts/chapterize.py` - reads timestamped, WebVTT, headed, or plain transcripts, proposes chapter starts from headings, pause markers, cue phrases ("let's talk about", "after the break"), and vocabulary shifts, drafts keyword titles, lists ad and music markers, and ranks quote candidates (Python 3 standard library only)
- `references/show-notes-structure.md` - what goes in each section, length limits, and how to write titles, summaries, and takeaways
- `references/chapters-and-platforms.md` - chapter rules for YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Podcasting 2.0, plus quote and timestamp ethics
- `templates/show-notes.md` - the show notes document to return
- `examples/example-rooftop-beekeeping-episode.md` - a worked example from a 25-minute interview
## Workflow
### 1. Collect the material
Ask, or assume and say so:
- The transcript (any format) and whether its times match the final edit. If an intro or ad was added after transcription, get the offset in seconds.
- Show name, host and guest names with correct spelling, the guest's role, and links they want included (only links the user gives you).
- Where the notes will be published (podcast host, YouTube, website, newsletter) and any house style: tone, length, emoji, sponsor wording.
- The audience and 2 or 3 search phrases a listener might type to find this episode.
### 2. Run the chapter finder
```bash
python3 scripts/chapterize.py transcript.txt
python3 scripts/chapterize.py transcript.txt --min-chapter 3 --offset 45 --duration 52:30
python3 scripts/chapterize.py episode.vtt --format youtube
python3 scripts/chapterize.py - --format json < transcript.txt
```
The script's chapter starts and quotes are candidates, not answers. Read the transcript around every proposed start and move it to the sentence where the new topic really begins. Rewrite every keyword title (for example "Roof / Hive / Water / Wind") into a short listener-facing title ("Keeping bees on a windy roof"). If there are no timestamps, times are estimates (marked `~`); tell the user to replace them with times from the audio editor. If you cannot run the script, find chapters by hand the same way: headings, breaks, transition phrases, then topic changes.
### 3. Write the notes
1. Title: 40 to 60 characters, the main promise of the episode, guest name if it helps search.
2. Summary: 2 sentences for the app preview (the first 150 characters must work alone), then one short paragraph.
3. Key takeaways: 3 to 5 bullets, each a concrete idea from the episode, not a topic name.
4. Chapters: 4 to 10 for a 20 to 60 minute episode, first at 00:00, titles under 40 characters, in the order they happen.
5. Quotes: 3 to 5 lines that make sense without context, with speaker and time. Remove filler words only; never change meaning. Mark edited quotes so the user can check them against the audio.
6. Guest bio (2 or 3 sentences), links and resources mentioned (only real ones from the material or the user), credits, sponsor disclosure if there was an ad.
7. Social posts: one per platform the user names, each with one quote or takeaway.
### 4. Deliver
Fill in `templates/show-notes.md` and follow `references/show-notes-structure.md` and `references/chapters-and-platforms.md`. Follow the style of `examples/example-rooftop-beekeeping-episode.md`. Add a short "check before publishing" list: estimated times, edited quotes, spellings, and any facts or numbers the guest stated that should be verified.
## Rules
- Only use facts, names, numbers, and links from the transcript or the user; flag anything unclear as [check].
- Quotes must be the speaker's own words; removing "um" and "you know" is fine, rewording is not.
- Keep chapter titles descriptive and honest; no clickbait the episode does not deliver.
- Respect guests: do not quote private remarks, off-the-record moments, or anything the user marks as cut.
- Match the show's voice; default to warm, clear, and specific.

# Show notes structure
Listeners skim show notes in a podcast app on a phone, search engines read them on the episode page, and the guest shares them. Each section has one job.
| Section | Job | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Episode title | Say the main promise; help search | 40 to 60 characters; most apps cut after about 60 |
| Preview summary | Make someone press play from the app list | First 150 characters must work alone; 2 sentences total |
| Full summary | Explain who the guest is and what you cover | 60 to 120 words |
| Key takeaways | Give skimmers the value | 3 to 5 bullets, one idea each, under 20 words |
| Chapters | Let listeners jump | 4 to 10 for 20 to 60 minutes; titles under 40 characters |
| Pull quotes | Quotable lines for notes and social | 3 to 5, 12 to 30 words each, with speaker and time |
| Guest bio | Credit the guest | 2 or 3 sentences, written in third person |
| Links and resources | Everything mentioned that has a link | Only links the user or guest gave |
| Credits and disclosure | Host, guest, producer, music, sponsor | One line each |
| Call to action | One next step | Subscribe, review, newsletter, or a question for listeners |
## Titles
- Lead with the idea, not the episode number: "Keeping Bees on a Hotel Roof with Daniel Okafor" beats "Ep. 48: Daniel Okafor".
- Use the words a listener would search: "rooftop beekeeping", "city honey".
- Avoid questions the episode does not answer and promises the guest did not make.
## Summaries
- Sentence 1: who and what, in plain words. Sentence 2: the most surprising or useful point.
- Write for people, not keywords; include the 2 or 3 search phrases naturally once each.
- No "In this episode we talk about..." filler; start with the substance.
## Key takeaways
Write each takeaway as a claim or instruction from the episode, not a topic:
- Weak: "Water on roofs."
- Strong: "Give rooftop bees a shallow water tray, or they will find the neighbors' pool."
## Chapter titles
- Describe what the listener gets in that part, in 2 to 6 words: "Why wind is the real enemy".
- Keep them parallel in style (all statements or all questions).
- Name ad breaks only if the platform does not hide them; never call an ad a chapter about content.
## Quotes
- Pick lines that stand alone: a clear claim, a lesson, a number, or a vivid image.
- Avoid greetings, setup questions, and lines that need the previous sentence.
- Removing fillers (um, uh, you know) is fine; mark the quote as lightly edited. Changing words is not.
## Accessibility and trust
- Link a full transcript when one exists; it helps deaf and hard-of-hearing listeners and search.
- Disclose sponsors and affiliate links clearly.
- Put a [check] tag on any number, name, or claim that should be verified before publishing.

# Chapters and platform rules
Rules change; when in doubt, check the platform's current help page. These are the stable basics.
## YouTube (video podcasts and audio uploads)
- Chapters come from timestamps in the description, one per line: `00:00 Intro`.
- The first timestamp must be 00:00.
- At least 3 timestamps, and each chapter at least 10 seconds long.
- Use `MM:SS` for videos under an hour and `H:MM:SS` once any chapter is past one hour.
- `chapterize.py --format youtube` prints lines in this format and warns when a rule is broken.
## Spotify
- Spotify reads chapter timestamps from the episode description in the same `MM:SS Title` style for episodes on its platform; follow the same rules as YouTube (start at 00:00, a few minutes apart).
## Apple Podcasts and most other apps
- Chapters are embedded in the audio file: ID3 CHAP frames in MP3 or a chapter track in M4A/AAC. Add them in the audio editor or a tagging tool before uploading.
- Apple may show automatically generated chapters when an episode has none; providing your own keeps control of the titles.
## Podcasting 2.0 (RSS)
- The `<podcast:chapters>` tag points to a JSON chapters file, supported by many modern apps and hosts:
```json
{
"version": "1.2.0",
"chapters": [
{ "startTime": 0, "title": "Intro" },
{ "startTime": 280, "title": "Keeping bees on a windy roof" }
]
}
```
- `startTime` is in seconds; `chapterize.py --format json` gives `start` in seconds for each chapter.
## Timestamps
- Transcript times often differ from the final file: intros, ads, and edits shift them. Use `--offset` for a fixed shift and recheck a few chapters in the audio.
- Without timestamps, `chapterize.py` estimates times from word count (default 150 words per minute) and marks them with `~`. Never publish estimated times without checking.
- Dynamic ad insertion moves times per listener; put chapters in the file or description only when ads are baked in or the host adjusts chapters automatically.
## How the script finds chapter starts
1. Headings (`# Title`, `Chapter 3: ...`, `Segment: ...`) always start a chapter.
2. Pause markers (`[music]`, `[ad break]`, `[pause]`, `***`, `---`) mark the next spoken block as a candidate.
3. Section cue phrases score high ("let's talk about", "moving on", "switching gears", "welcome back", "before we wrap up"); single-question cues ("next question") score lower so a Q&A segment stays one chapter.
4. Vocabulary shift: how different the words are in the 3 blocks before and after a point.
5. Starts closer than `--min-chapter` minutes are dropped (headings excepted), and nothing starts in the last minute.
## Quote and transcript ethics
- Keep quotes faithful; mark filler removal as an edit.
- Ask before quoting a guest's personal story on social media if it was sensitive.
- Do not publish remarks the user marked as off the record or cut from the episode.
