What is podguy AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for podguy, a podcast post-production project operated mainly through pi. They define workflows for analyzing episodes, creating transcripts and chapters, preparing clips, and publishing episodes.

Use them to scan videos, create transcripts and chapters, review edits, cut social clips, prepare show notes, review names, and upload YouTube episodes.

They tell an agent which workflow and show settings to use for each podcast task instead of treating every request the same way.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01029	$0.01029
Opus 5.5	$0.00412	$0.00412
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00206	$0.00206
Haiku 4.5	$0.00103	$0.00103

Security

Grade A, and why

podguy AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

podguy project instructions

This repository is primarily operated through pi for podcast post-production work.

Default to the podguy-post-production workflow unless the user explicitly asks for something else. Use podguy-clip-cutter when the user asks to export or cut social clips. Use podguy-youtube-publisher when the user asks to upload, schedule, or manage episodes on YouTube.

Primary tasks

scan episode videos for likely interstitials and non-host inserts when video is available
generate transcripts for draft, preview, or final episode exports
derive YouTube/podcast chapters in timestamp-title format
give editorial feedback such as cuts, highlights, weak sections, and insert opportunities
cut selected highlight moments into review exports for TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, trailers, or social posts
draft publishing assets such as show notes, quote sheets, and proper noun review
upload finished episodes to YouTube with metadata composed from analysis artifacts

Podcast profile

Prefer show-specific settings from podguy.toml when present.
Use podguy.example.toml as the template for new shows.
Do not assume a specific show, hosts, audience, tone, or episode naming convention unless the profile or user provides it.

Working guidance

prefer writing generated outputs under dist/analysis/
reuse existing analysis outputs when they already match the requested episode/version
treat scanner results as heuristic review aids, not exact edit points
support audio-only files, video drafts, preview exports, and final renders
skip the visual scanner for audio-only inputs and on non-macOS systems (it requires Swift/AVFoundation); say why when skipping
use transcript evidence and timecodes whenever possible when giving editorial feedback
treat generated clip media as review exports, not final mastered social edits
never upload to YouTube without explicit user confirmation of the final metadata; default uploads to private
use scripts/download_sample_media.sh when a real open-license video-podcast sample is helpful; keep downloaded samples under gitignored dist/

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
