What it is

Point it at a podcast, a stream, or a back catalogue you hold the rights to — that is the first thing setup asks, with the apps it posts on and the cadence behind it. The agent team watches the sources you named for new episodes and moments, cuts the few that carry — hook first, one idea, vertical — writes the captions, titles and hashtags for each, and reports what worked. It cuts from nothing you did not name. Every clip lands in a review queue, and the queue is the only way out.

  • It cuts only from the sources you named. A clip from anywhere else is a rights problem, so the agents stop instead of guessing

  • A few vertical cuts per source, each one hook-first, one idea, fifteen to sixty seconds — not every moment the scorer liked

  • The back catalogue gets worked through, not just the newest upload

  • Every cut lands as a pending post with its caption drafted. Nothing reaches an account without you

Ideal for Editors, studios, and creators who want a clipping operation running across many accounts at once.

The week it runs

media/clipping · v1.7.0 · published Sep 25, 2026

8 timers are provisioned with this template — 44 unattended runs a week. Each fire opens a session with the message excerpted below and spends against its own cap, which the studio prints before you deploy.

The Agent Team

read from the media release

The 5 agents naive up provisions into your organization — the role each holds, the tools it is allowed, the skills it was taught, the timers it owns and the first thing it is told. An agent marked required cannot be left out of an install; the rest are yours to decline.

  • channel-manager

    Channel leadrequired

    Runs the channel: plans the week from the cadence answer, briefs the team, keeps the post queue tidy and replies to comments in the channel's voice. Never publishes without an approved post.

    Clip production

    Cuts each planned clipping project — the source video, the timestamps and the reason the scout wrote — into one vertical clip and files it for approval. Never cuts from a channel the context does not name.

You will be asked

read from the media release

Answered in the studio before anything is provisioned, and read by every agent before it acts. Configuration only — a secret is a vault credential or an app secret, never an answer. You can change the answers later.

  • 01

    Reference channels for inspiration

    Channel or playlist URLs, one per line — the crew watches these and cuts from nowhere else

  • 02

    Where should this channel post?

    Pick the apps your videos go out on — one or several. Picking them is not the same as connecting them — after setup, open Accounts and connect the account you post from on each one, or the team will fill a queue that cannot publish.

Skills

read from the media release

The procedures the agent team loads before it works — what to read first, what to file where, what never to do. naive/ names the platform's own catalogue, which the studio's Skills screen carries; a bare slug is a skill the template ships itself.

What stays yours

The same three rules across every template. They are the blueprint's, not the agents' — an agent cannot widen them.

  • Nothing publishes itself

    Every tool that acts outside your organization — a post, an email, a reply — is granted ask, not allow. The call parks the session with its arguments in front of you and waits. Approval is a person, every time.

  • A budget it cannot raise

    A daily cap per agent and a cap per task, declared in the template and enforced by the platform. A run that would exceed its cap stops rather than spends.

  • Denied by default

    An agent is offered the tools its template names and nothing else. Everything it was not granted is denied by name — the shell included, which is also why a content agent never provisions a machine it would not use.

What it ships

v1.7.0

A template is a repo: the apps below, their server, and a naive.config.ts declaring the agent team. Clone it, bind it to your organization, bring it up.
