# Course Topic Selection Turn messy or complete source materials into a course-topic decision that is sellable, explainable, and traceable. ## What This Skill Actually Does This skill is not a generic naming tool. It performs a constrained commercial translation: - Content constraint: the core of the course must come from the user's materials. - Market constraint: the recommendation must match real demand, competition, and buying logic. The goal is not to find the biggest possible topic. The goal is to find the smallest topic that is still credibly sellable: - `Minimum Sellable Topic`: a topic the author can truly teach and the market can plausibly buy. ## Core Capabilities This skill is designed to: - translate an author's real material into market-aware course directions - identify target users, market stage, competing solutions, and credible gaps - judge whether a topic is too crowded, tool-replaced, weakly differentiated, or better downgraded - decide whether the material supports a course, a lighter product, or no product at all - judge whether the material is substantial enough to sustain a real course rather than only a topic claim This skill can optionally expand into: - `demand-density` - `seo-gap` - `trend-cycle` - `channel-strategy` - `content-validation` This skill should not pretend it can do: - precise TAM / SAM / SOM modeling - strong demand claims based on one viral post or one hot keyword - direct conversion from traffic heat to paid-course deman
