# Content Arbitrage

Buy knowledge cheap in one market, sell it at a premium in another.

## When to Activate

- User says `/arbitrage` or `/content-arbitrage`
- User asks "what unique angle can I bring?"
- User wants content nobody else has

## Commands

### `/arbitrage` — Scan for arbitrage opportunities
### `/arbitrage {source_field} → {target_field}` — Specific transfer
### `/arbitrage overseas` — English → Japanese information gaps

## Arbitrage Types

| Type | Source | Target | Example |
|------|--------|--------|---------|
| Cross-niche | Marketing | Engineering | "Marketing funnels for developer tools" |
| Cross-language | English | Japanese | "This US trend hasn't hit Japan yet" |
| Cross-industry | Healthcare | Business | "Hospital efficiency → office productivity" |
| Cross-era | Historical | Modern | "Ancient strategy → modern AI tactics" |
| Cross-format | Academic | Popular | "Research paper → practical guide" |

  Content Arbitrage Opportunities
  Your niche: {theme.main}
============================================

--- Cross-Niche Arbitrage ---

1. {source_field} → {your_niche}
   Knowledge: "{concept well-known in source}"
   Your angle: "{how to apply to your niche}"
   Why it works: "{source_field} pros know this; your audience doesn't"
   Competition: ZERO (nobody has made this connection)
   Content idea: "{specific article title}"

2. {source_field} → {your_niche}
   ...

--- Cross-Language Arbitrage ---

1. English → Japanese
   Concept: "{trending in English, not yet in Japanese}"
   Source: {url}
   Your angle: "{localized version with Japanese context}"
   Time advantage: ~{weeks} before Japanese mainstream

--- Cross-Format Arbitrage ---

1. Academic → Practical
   Paper: "{research paper title}"
   Your angle: "{practical application article}"
   Why: "The data exists but nobody has made it accessible"
