Agentic Content System

Agentic Content System is a local-first, cloneable workspace for turning a content decision and source material into reviewed content plus a supervised publisher handoff.

ACS is deliberately small. It consists of skills, Markdown context and templates, a versioned content graph, a supervised handoff, and focused zero-dependency Node checks. It is not a media editor, render engine, Python application, dashboard, database, or automatic publisher.

For ordinary video work, Diffusion Studio is the only normal Studio. ACS pins a thin reviewed fork of the upstream editor and uses its Electron/DAPI workflow for owner-recorded long-form and shorts, cuts, trims, audio/music, captions, overlays/assets, and supervised export. Its loopback browser companion is read-only and human-facing. ACS records reviewed outputs and lineage; it does not contain or reimplement the editor.

Start

Requirements: Node.js 22 or newer and Git. Diffusion has its own pinned external checkout and setup contract.

npm test
npm run check:graph
npm run check:repository

For a real outcome:

1. Read AGENTS.md and the repository-local production skill.
2. Create workspace/productions/<slug>/ only when a real content outcome exists.
3. Copy the content-graph and review templates, then replace fixture values with truthful production paths, hashes, provenance, relationships, and review state.
4. Use Diffusion for video editing and supervised export.
5. Validate the graph and optional handoff with the Node checker.
6. Hand off only independently approved nodes. Nothing posts automatically.

The normative contracts are in Content graph, the workflow is in Workflow, and Studio setup/runtime is in Diffusion Studio.

Boundaries

• Optional local Whisper and reference-analysis helpers may use Python and FFmpeg, but they are preprocessing/research tools, not an ACS media pipeline.
• ADS is optional. An accepted immutable DESIGN.md plus selected assets may be hash-bound in a production, but ACS works without ADS.
• Upstream HeyGen HyperFrames is a specialist route only for a full code-animated video or bounded overlay asset. It is not another editor.
• Diffusion's Electron host and DAPI are authoritative. Codex may open the returned one-time loopback URL only in its built-in browser for read-only human inspection. macOS is the physically tested route; Linux and Windows command/path construction does not claim physical parity.
