Step 1: Select the Source Winner

If the user provides a specific ad (record ID or description), use that.

If not, show the top 10 winners from the Swipe File:

Use Airtable MCP: list_records
  base_id: {from CLAUDE.md}
  table_id: {Swipe File table ID}
  filter: AND({Is Analyzed}=TRUE(), OR({Longevity Tier}='Long-Runner', {Longevity Tier}='Performer'))
  sort: [{field: "Days Active", direction: "desc"}]
  maxRecords: 10
  fields: Ad Archive ID, Competitor, Angle Category, Ad Format Type, Hook Video, Hook Copy, Body Text, Days Active, Longevity Tier

Present them:

Top 10 Winners -- Pick one to multiply:

1. [{days}d {tier}] {competitor} -- {angle}
   Hook: "{hook}"

2. ...

Wait for the user to pick one.

Step 2: Analyze the Winner

Read the full record and break down what makes it work:

• Hook pattern: What structure does the hook use? (question, statement, challenge, proof)
• Angle: What emotional lever does it pull? (pain, aspiration, fear, curiosity)
• Format: How is it delivered? (UGC, talking head, screen recording, static)
• Framework: What copy structure does it follow? (PAS, AIDA, Story, Before/After)
• CTA: What action does it drive?
• Length: How long is the copy / video?
