Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request.

Goal: Turn my top takeaways from a podcast episode into fleshed-out notes, each with the timestamp of the matching clip.

Quick check first: Which episode, and how many takeaways do you want to cover?

What I need from you:
- Your list of top takeaways (for example your top 10 highlights)
- The episode name or YouTube link

Rules:
- Fill in the details for each takeaway.
- Find the episode's transcript and the timestamp for each takeaway's clip.
- If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing.
- Use the transcript for timestamps and don't guess times.
- Stop once the list is done and hand it back to me.

Output: Each takeaway with its details and the start time of its clip, plus the episode link.

If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps.

You'll know it worked when: you can jump straight to each clip in the episode using the timestamps.

You can also ask me to: share the timestamps and video link so the clips can be downloaded with another tool.
