/media — Full Content Creation Workflow

The complete guided workflow: idea → write → image → publish.

This orchestrator is a thin sequencer. For each stage, it reads the shared library files and follows the same logic as the individual sub-skills.

Prerequisites

Read these shared library files before proceeding:

• Read lib/adapter-discovery.md
• Read lib/manifest-ops.md
• Read lib/image-processing.md

Step 0: Detect State & Resume

Check if there's an in-progress post:

# Find posts with draft variants (not yet fully published)
for dir in content/posts/*/; do
  if [ -f "$dir/manifest.yaml" ]; then
    has_draft=$(python3 -c "
import yaml
with open('${dir}manifest.yaml') as f:
    m = yaml.safe_load(f)
variants = m.get('variants', {})
drafts = [k for k,v in variants.items() if v.get('status') in ('draft','pending','failed')]
print('yes' if drafts else 'no')
" 2>/dev/null)
    if [ "$has_draft" = "yes" ]; then
      echo "IN_PROGRESS: $dir"
    fi
  fi
done

If an in-progress post is found, use AskUserQuestion: "Found an in-progress post: ''. What would you like to do?"

• A) Resume this post (continue from where we left off)
• B) Start a new post
• C) Finish publishing this post (jump to /media-publish)

Detecting resume stage

Read the manifest to determine which stage to resume from:

• No source.md → resume from ideation/writing (Stage 1-2)
• source.md exists but no variants → resume from variant generation (Stage 2, Step 5)
• Variants exist but no assets → resume from image generation (Stage 3)
• Assets exist but variants are draft → resume from publishing (Stage 4)

Stage 1: Ideation

Read skills/media-idea/SKILL.md and follow its workflow.

This stage produces a brief.yaml in the post directory.

If a brief.yaml already exists (resume scenario), skip to Stage 2.

Stage 2: Writing

Read skills/media-write/SKILL.md and follow its workflow.

This stage produces:

• source.md (canonical content)
• variants/<name>.md for each platform
• manifest.yaml
