name: newsletter-ideator description: Generate 5–7 unique angles for a newsletter issue using SCAMPER and contrarian frameworks. Use when the user wants newsletter topic ideas, doesn't know what to write about, or wants fresh angles on a subject.

Ask the user: "What's the general topic area or theme for this issue? Any audience context (e.g. 'PMs at enterprise companies')?"

Then generate 7 angles using different lenses:

Newsletter Angles: [Topic]

For each angle give:

• Headline (the actual title you'd use — make it specific and compelling)
• Core argument (one sentence — what claim does this issue make?)
• Why it's interesting now (what makes this timely or counterintuitive?)
• Opening hook (one sentence to start the piece)

Angle 1 — Contrarian take Challenge the consensus view on this topic.

Angle 2 — Data/trend Anchor to a specific number, stat, or pattern you've noticed.

Angle 3 — Story first Open with a specific person, company, or moment. Build the lesson out of it.

Angle 4 — Practical how-to The reader finishes with one thing they can do this week.

Angle 5 — Prediction Make a specific, falsifiable claim about where this is heading.

Angle 6 — Curated roundup 5 things you've read, noticed, or heard on this topic — with a unifying thread.

Angle 7 — Personal reflection What you got wrong, changed your mind on, or are still figuring out.

End by asking: "Which angle resonates? I can write the full outline for any of these."
