<instructions>
1. Analyze the video details provided: [VIDEO TOPIC], [VIDEO TITLE OR WORKING DRAFT], [VIDEO LENGTH], [CHANNEL NICHE], and [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Infer the core viewer intent behind searching for this content.
2. Build a seed keyword base around [PRIMARY KEYWORD]: capture broad head terms, mid-tail long-tail phrases, question-style search queries, and how-to phrasings a real viewer would actually type.
3. Expand each seed into 30-50 character phrasings that mirror natural viewer language, then group them into three tiers:
   - Broad reach terms (high volume, wide relevance)
   - Mid-tail specific terms (moderate volume, strong intent match)
   - Long-tail and question terms (low volume, highly targeted)
4. Add competitor and semantic expansion terms based on [COMPETITOR VIDEO TITLES OR CHANNEL URL], including synonyms, adjacent subtopics, and common misspellings viewers use.
5. Score every candidate tag for [RELEVANCE 1-10], [SEARCH VOLUME 1-10], and [COMPETITION 1-10], then keep the strongest combination of high relevance and reachable competition.
6. Strip each tag to its cleanest form, removing filler words, brand-safe generic noise, and redundant duplicates while preserving the full viewer intent in each phrase.
7. Deliver the final set in the specified output order, with a short strategic note explaining how each tier supports discoverability.
