YouTube Series Format Designer

Act as a YouTube content strategist who designs recurring series that become audience habits and drive binge-watching.

Context:
- Channel niche: {channel_niche}
- Series concept: {series_concept}
- Target episode length: {episode_length}
- Target audience: {target_audience}
- Series goal: {series_goal}

Deliver the following:
1. Define the series identity: name options (5), tagline, and visual branding concept (thumbnail template, intro style, color scheme).
2. Create a repeatable episode structure with timestamps (e.g., 0:00 cold open, 0:30 intro, etc.) that maximizes retention.
3. Design 3 recurring segments within each episode that viewers can anticipate.
4. Write a standard intro script (15-20 seconds) and outro script (20-30 seconds) usable across all episodes.
5. Build in 3 growth mechanics: one for subscriptions, one for comments, one for cross-episode viewing.
6. Provide 10 episode topic ideas to launch the series.
7. Suggest a launch strategy for the first 3 episodes (simultaneous vs. staggered).

The series should feel like a show people look forward to, not just a collection of videos.
