## Mode
Detect from context or ask: *"Quick ideas, full strategy, or complete content system?"*
| Mode | What you get | Best for |
|------|-------------|----------|

| `standard` | 10–15 positioned ideas with formats and rationale | Regular content planning |
| `deep` | Full content calendar system: pillars, formats, cadence, 30-day plan | Launching or overhauling content strategy |
**Default: `standard`** — use `quick` if they just need to start. Use `deep` if they want a repeatable system, not just today's ideas.
