Usage Example

const { ProductionManagementAgent } = require('./agents/production-management-agent');

const agent = new ProductionManagementAgent(db, credentials);
await agent.initialize();

// Process complete content package
const contentData = {
  strategy: await strategyAgent.generateContentStrategy(),
  script: await scriptAgent.generateScript(strategy),
  thumbnail: await thumbnailAgent.generateThumbnail(script),
  seo: await seoAgent.optimize(script, strategy)
};

const production = await agent.processContent(contentData);

console.log('Production ID:', production.id);
console.log('Status:', production.status);
console.log('Priority:', production.priority);
console.log('Scheduled:', production.scheduledPublishTime);

// Check pipeline status
const pipeline = await agent.getPipelineStatus();
console.log('Items in pipeline:', pipeline.length);

// Get next content ready for publishing
const next = await agent.getNextReadyContent();
if (next) {
  console.log('Ready to publish:', next.script.title);
}

Asset Management

The agent manages assets in organized directories:

data/production

Production metadata and state files

data/assets

Processed thumbnails and visual assets

data/videos

Final rendered video files

data/audio

Generated audio narration files

data/scripts

Original scripts and TTS-formatted versions

temp/processing

Temporary files during processing

Best Practices

Monitor Pipeline Regularly

Check pipeline status to identify bottlenecks and ensure smooth production flow.

Prioritize Time-Sensitive Content

Content with higher estimated views and closer publish times gets higher priority automatically.

Verify AI Generated Assets

While AI generation is automatic, review visual assets and audio narration for quality.

Manage Storage

Archive or clean up old production files periodically to manage disk space.

Handle Failures Gracefully

The agent includes fallback methods for AI service failures. Monitor logs for simulation vs. actual generation.
