podguy-post-production

A post-production workflow for podcasts and video podcasts that analyzes episode media, prepares transcripts, and suggests publishing materials.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to transcribe episodes, find possible inserted sections, suggest chapter markers, review weak sections and highlights, prepare show notes and quotes, and select short clips for social media.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of reviewing a recording and turning it into a polished episode. It also helps organize the information needed for editing and publication.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

podguy-post-production 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 3d 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.

This repository is meant to be operated through pi from the repo root.

Goal

Help with repeatable post-recording podcast editing for any podcast or video podcast.

Use this workflow when the user wants any of the following:

  • analyze a new episode recording, draft export, or preview media file
  • generate a transcript for the current cut of the episode
  • prepare transcript artifacts for long-context editorial review
  • find likely interstitial or inserted-content timecodes in video episodes
  • propose YouTube or podcast chapter markers
  • review the episode for cuts, highlights, clips, weak sections, and publishing assets
  • cut/export selected clip candidates for TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, trailers, or social review

Podcast profile

Prefer show-specific context from podguy.toml when it exists. If only podcast.toml exists, use that as a compatible profile file.

Use profile fields such as:

  • show_name
  • show_slug
  • hosts
  • tone
  • audience
  • chapter_style
  • preferred_review

Do not assume a specific show, hosts, audience, tone, domain, or episode naming pattern unless the user or profile provides it.

If profile context is missing, only ask for it when it affects the requested deliverable. For example, chapters usually do not need a full show profile; publishable show notes might.

Natural-language UX

Assume the user will ask in plain English and may not know or remember slash commands.

Prompt templates such as /prepare-analysis, /phase1, /full-review, /chapters, and /cuts are optional shortcuts for power users, not required vocabulary.

When the request is ambiguous, ask one short clarifying question before deciding how much work to do.

Use this default clarification:

  • quick pass = optional video scan + transcript + prepared transcript artifacts + short summary
  • full review = quick pass + chapters + clips + cuts + show notes + quotes + proper noun review

If the user already clearly asked for a specific deliverable, do that directly instead of asking.

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.
