description: Answer "I don't know what to post" with live trend signals from Lolik — 3 concrete ideas with phases, scores and a money angle, grounded in measured data. Use when the user is stuck on content ideas, asks what to post about, or wants topics worth making content on today.

# What to post — answered with data, not brainstorming

When the user doesn't know what to post, do NOT brainstorm from their brand voice alone.
Pull **live signals** first, then shape ideas around what the data shows is moving.

## Setup (once)

Lolik API key (free tier: 30 credits, no card — https://lolikai.eu/signup → Account →
API Keys). Connect the MCP server:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lolik": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@lolikai/mcp"],
      "env": { "LOLIK_API_KEY": "lk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}
```

REST fallback: `https://lolikai.eu/api/public/...` with header `x-lolik-api-key`.

## Workflow

1. **Ask one question only**: what niche / audience do they serve? (If they gave it
   already, skip.)
2. **Check `get_usage`** (free) and announce costs before paid calls.
3. **Pull signals** (cheap reads, 1 credit each):
   - `get_prebreakout` — alerts with `phase` (early = not peaked yet) and scores
   - `get_opportunities` — topics with demand/supply gap and a monetization angle
   - `get_trends` (optional, `?niche=`) — what's moving in their niche
4. **Propose exactly 3 ideas**, each with:
   - the topic + **why now** (phase, velocity, score — real numbers from the response)
   - a suggested format/hook (use `get_viral_patterns` if the user wants hook guidance —
     patterns come with proof: validated across N creators over N days)
   - **the money angle** from the data when present (who pays, what format) — never
     invented
5. **Rank them** by phase first (early beats momentum — more headroom), then score.

## Honesty contract (hard rules)

- Numbers ONLY from API responses. If a field is null/missing, it doesn't exist — say so.
- If the niche has no signals today, say exactly that and offer the closest niches that DO
  have signals. An honest "nothing worth your time today in X" beats a fabricated idea.
- Calculated possibilities, not promises: the outcome depends on the user's execution.
- Proof lives at https://lolikai.eu/receipts — every Lolik call is re-measured daily
  against real views, wins and misses public.
