A content adapter that turns one source post into draft versions for different lengths and platforms. Drafts are unpublished and link back to one canonical GitHub version.

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

episode 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

EPISODE_ADAPTER (stage S5 of content factory v2 — the contract [[decision-content-pipeline-reality-show]] §7.2)

GOAL: ONE source post → an "episode" = one draft PER (tier × platform) from §7.2, with cross-links downward and canonical→GitHub baked in. Draft-first: we write drafts and publish NOTHING.

THE §7.2 CONTRACT (implemented 1:1):

tier      length          platforms (phase 1)                    language   voice/model
teaser    240-370 (HARD)  RU channel · X (EN)                    RU TG/EN X  authorial · Opus
medium    800-2500        Facebook (RU)                          RU          authorial diary · Opus · LINK IN THE 1ST COMMENT (not in the body) + a question
longread  4000+ narrative RU channel·VC.ru·Habr(RU) · GitHub(EN) RU and EN  authorial reality-show · Opus
dev-log   a dry log       GitHub (EN, canonical)                 EN          technical, impersonal · Sonnet scaffold + Opus for cohesion
  • The owner's voice (authorial) = Opus ONLY. The dev-log is not authorial — Sonnet assembles it, Opus stitches it together.
  • canonical = the GitHub markdown on every platform (a single source of truth for AI). Repo: github.com/tonydzi/clawrush.
  • NO copy-paste — every file is a NATIVE rewrite for its platform.
  • Cross-links downward: teaser→longread; medium→longread (in the 1st comment); longread ←teaser →dev-log; dev-log→longread + an anchor to our Deep Research.
  • THE PLATFORM DECIDES THE LANGUAGE (there is no bilingual pair on every tier).
  • The S3 narrative ([[style-reality-show]]) by tier: teaser=cold open+cliffhanger; medium=a full episode arc; longread=an extended episode+recap; dev-log=raw material, no drama.
  • The cofounder CTA (medium+longread, the owner's rule, memory [[cofounder-cta-public-contact]]): WhatsApp +1 341 222 9178 = an authorized PUBLIC contact (a privacy carve-out), never strip it.
  • VC.ru + Habr (the RU geo longread) = phase 1 since 2026-07-04 (the style files _STYLE-vcru.md/_STYLE-habr.md are written and live in content-factory\; the writer loads them by the pointer in the placeholder). PHASE 2 (deferred): only Reddit (the EN geo dev-log) — scaffolded with the --with-phase2 flag.

PATHS:

  • ⭐ FACTS AND CONTINUITY (v2, 2026-07-10) = THE SINGLE CANON $OBSIDIAN_VAULT/04-Projects\show-canon\: before assembling an episode, read the anchor beat (beats\) plus its arcs/loops — "previously on the show", the cliffhanger and the season question come FROM THERE (not from memory, not from SHOW-STATE, which is frozen). Respect the beat's reveal axis: don't burn live_hold/spoiler_until. Pick the next move with /reality-show next. After publishing — write the consequences back into the beat + run canon_render.py.
  • Source material: $IMPORTS_ROOT/content-factory/triage/posts.md (📝) — or a topic the owner names.
  • The scaffolder (deterministic, 0 tokens): $IMPORTS_ROOT/content-factory/episode_adapter.py.
  • Bundles: episodes\<slug>\ (8 .md files in phase 1 / 9 with --with-phase2 + meta.json; every §7.2 field is baked into the placeholders).
  • Style: [[style-reality-show]] (08-Templates\style-reality-show.md) + 04-Projects\personal\facebook-diary-auto\_STYLE.md + [[style-Mei-influence]] + the golden corpus up to 2023.

STEPS:

  1. PICK the topic: if the owner named one, use it; otherwise show the 📝 items from posts.md and take the strongest thread. Run list before new.
  2. SCAFFOLD: python episode_adapter.py new --slug <kebab> --title "<title>" --source "hub:<id>" (+--with-phase2 for VC.ru/Habr/Reddit) → a bundle of empty drafts + meta.json.
  3. WRITE (the model is named in each placeholder): teaser-ru/en, medium-fb (the body WITHOUT the link + a "1ST COMMENT" block), longread-ru/en, devlog. Replace the stubs, leave the hint comments in place. Privacy is strict (the only carve-out is the cofounder's WhatsApp).
  4. CHECK (the visibility layer): python episode_adapter.py check --slug <slug> — lengths (a teaser outside 240-370 = HARD FAIL; medium/longread = WARN), CTA present, empty files. Only FAIL=0 → step 5 (a WARN on an unfinished longread is acceptable until it is written out).
  5. REVIEW (draft-first): set-status --slug <slug> --status review; into Telegram Saved (chat_id <YOUR_CHAT_ID>, account "work_acct_a", no parse_mode): "🎬 Episode '' — the per-tier drafts are ready (check ✅). episodes<slug>. Say 'publish' and I'll lay them out." NOTHING goes outward.
  6. EXPORT TO PUBLISHING — only on the owner's explicit "publish"/"+" (Tier-2): python episode_adapter.py export --slug <slug>drafts\episode-<slug>.md (format type: content-factory-draft + the registers ## -> TG/X/FB). From there the EXISTING path: content_approve.py --servecontent_publish.py (→ Saved; the real channels are Phase 2b/Tier-2). GitHub/Reddit/VC.ru/Habr are published MANUALLY (gh / natively), not through content_publish. We do NOT breed a second publisher.

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.
