Fan Canon Miner

Fan Canon Miner

Use this skill when you need to turn recurring fan symbols, phrases, inside jokes, and breakout moments into a usable canon map.

Default product shape: a compact macOS MenuBarExtra utility with a source-aware popover for source intake, canon extraction, and brief export and an optional settings/history window.

Quick Start

1. Confirm the subject, target audience, and source window.
2. Gather only public or user-authorized material into a working set.
3. Produce a canon-map with the default sections below.
4. If the user wants a richer product concept, keep it menu bar first and native to SwiftUI.

Accepted Inputs

• comment exports or copied threads from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit, Discord, or newsletters
• interview transcripts, Q and A logs, podcast notes, or livestream recaps
• captions, community posts, fan edit descriptions, and meme references
• user-provided notes about breakout moments, props, nicknames, or recurring story beats

Output Artifact

Primary artifact: canon-map

Default sections:

• Repeated symbols and aesthetic anchors
• Signature lines, nicknames, and fan language
• Canon moments with why they stuck
• Myths, lore threads, and callbacks the audience keeps reviving
• Three practical content opportunities that respect existing canon

Workflow

Gather Sources

• Deduplicate overlapping source dumps and note the platform plus time window.
• Separate first-party voice from audience response before clustering patterns.
• Flag claims that appear only once so the canon map stays grounded.

Distill Signal

• Count repeated phrases, objects, scenes, and emotional beats.
• Group references into stable canon instead of one-off jokes.
• Rank each cluster by recurrence, emotional charge, and remixability.

Build The Artifact

• Draft a canon map with core, rising, and fragile lore buckets.
• Call out what feels audience-native versus what should not be forced.
• End with near-term content or community moves that build on the existing canon.

Mac Product Shape

• Prefer MenuBarExtra with these primary actions:
  • Add Sources
  • Mine Canon
  • View Map
  • Export Brief
  • History
• Keep the popover between 320 pt and 380 pt wide with grouped sections, clear source status, and a strong export action.
• Use a lightweight settings or history window only for source rules, saved exports, or weighting controls.

Safety Boundaries

• Work only from public or user-authorized material.
• Do not assist with stalking, covert profiling, rumor laundering, harassment, or minors-focused manipulation.
• Avoid speculative personal narratives, protected-private-life gossip, or attempts to intensify dependency on the public figure.

Example Prompts

• Use $fan-canon-miner to map the canon around this streamer from the last 90 days of comments and recap the top myths fans keep repeating.
• Use $fan-canon-miner to turn these founder interviews and community replies into a canon map with signature lines, props, and callback opportunities.
