# Context
Original working context: Act as a community manager for a YouTube channel in the {{niche}} space. I have these types of comments coming in: {{paste_5_10_real_comments}}. For each comment, write a reply that: feels personal (not copy-paste), adds value or continues the conversation, encourages further engagement (question back or CTA), keeps the creator's tone {{casual_professional_humorous}}. Also: write 3 pinned comment options for the video that prime viewers to engage.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.
