Wiggly Brainrot

# Wiggly Brainrot

Turn one buyer truth into a fast two-character exchange over looping gameplay.

## Start

```bash
npm install
npm run format:brainrot -- check
npm run format:brainrot -- init --run=my-run --url=https://example.com
```

The agent researches the website, writes three options with the packaged prompt, selects one, shows the script and estimate, then asks before making the Fish voice.

## Assembly line

`Research -> Script -> Voice -> Render -> Deliver`

1. **Research** saves buyer problems, proof, site language, source URLs, and brand details.
2. **Script** creates three short dialogue options and selects one.
3. **Voice** uses the fixed Fish voices only after a clear user approval.
4. **Render** creates one local 1080x1350 MP4 through Wiggly's shared renderer.
5. **Deliver** checks the dimensions, duration, streams, captions, scene, and artifact hashes.

## Cost

- Research: host-agent web tools
- Three scripts: host-agent reasoning
- Fish S2.1 Pro Free voice: $0 provider cost
- Local MP4 render: $0 provider cost

No image generation, video generation, music generation, or Replicate call is used.

## Resume

Every run is saved under `public/format-repositories/brainrot-v1/agent-runs/<run-id>`.

```bash
npm run format:brainrot -- resume --run=my-run
```

If a voice call fails, the runner stops loudly. It never retries or changes providers.

# Wiggly Brainrot

Use this skill when someone wants a fast fake-podcast ad over familiar gameplay.

## First question

If the user already gave you a website, start the run.

If they only sent this format, ask:

`What website should I use for this Brainrot ad?`

Ask one question at a time.
Do not ask about budget.
Do not ask the user to pick a model, gameplay clip, character, voice, or caption style.

Turbo is the default:

- Research the site.
- Write three options.
- Select the strongest one.
- Stop before the voice call.

Guide mode shows the three options and asks the user to choose.

## Progress

Always show:

`Research -> Script -> Voice -> Render -> Deliver -> Distribute`

Start every update with the current step:

- `Step 1 of 6: Research`
- `Step 2 of 6: Script`
- `Step 3 of 6: Voice`
- `Step 4 of 6: Render`
- `Step 5 of 6: Deliver`
- `Step 6 of 6: Distribute`

Keep updates short.

## Run

Run commands from the downloaded kit's `v3` directory.

1. Run `npm run format:brainrot -- check`.
2. Run `init --run=<id> --url=<url>`.
3. Read `prompts/research.md`.
4. Research the site with your own web tools and fill `research.json`.
5. Run `prompt --run=<id>`.
6. Use the exact generated `brainrot-prompt.txt` yourself.
7. Save all three options in `script-options.json`.
8. In Turbo, select the strongest option in `selection.json`. In Guide mode, show the three angle names and let the user choose.
9. Read `prompts/selection.md`.
10. Run `validate --run=<id>`.
11. Run `estimate --run=<id>`.
12. Show the complete selected script and exact estimate.
13. Ask: `Ready to make the two voices?`
14. Wait for a clear yes.
15. Run `generate --run=<id> --approve-voice` once.
16. Run `render --run=<id>`.
17. Run `inspect --run=<id>`.
18. Let the user watch the whole MP4.
19. If it is good, run `finalize --run=<id> --approve-final`.
20. In Stage 6 (`Distribute`), prepare platform-tailored copy in `inputs/distribution.json` and probe with `node runtime/publish.mjs --dry-run inputs/distribution.json <path-to-mp4>`.

## Distribution (Optional)

Once finalized, the agent can distribute the video across YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and X:

1. **Author platform-tailored copy in `inputs/distribution.json`:**
   - **YouTube Shorts:** Punchy title (≤100 chars), categoryId (`20` for Gaming), duration ≤60s.
   - **Twitter/X:** Engaging hook with hashtags (≤280 chars total).
   - **Instagram Reels:** Engaging caption with tags, vertical 9:16 framing.
   - **TikTok:** Engaging caption with tags (≤2200 chars).
2. **Probe with `--dry-run`:**
   ```sh
   node runtime/publish.mjs --dry-run inputs/distribution.json outputs/<run-id>/episode.mp4
   ```
3. **Present copy to user and obtain explicit approval:**
   - Never publish live to social media without human sign-off (`approvalRequired: true`).
4. **Dispatch:**
   - If `BUFFER_API_KEY` is provided, publish live via Buffer MCP or CLI.
   - If unconfigured, the runtime validates assets and logs a graceful `unconfigured_environment` receipt.
   - Receipts are saved to `<video-path>.distribution.json`.

## Behavioral Guardrails
- **Human in the Loop:** Never publish without explicit confirmation from the user.
- **Probe First:** Always validate media format and character limits before dispatching.
- **Zero Token Leakage:** Never print or store API keys in repo files or receipts.

## Script rules

- Make exactly three options before selection.
- Each option uses one different supported buyer pain.
- Each option has 6-10 short beats.
- Both speakers appear and alternate naturally.
- Beat 1 opens a knowledge gap. It is not a greeting.
- The left character is stuck or asks the obvious question.
- The right character knows the fix.
- The brand enters after the problem is clear, never in beat 1 or 2.
- The final beat lands abruptly. No recap or sign-off.
- Cite exact saved evidence in every option.
- Never invent a fact, number, review, result, guarantee, or discount.

## Provider rules

- The only provider call is Fish S2.1 Pro Free voice.
- Never call it without the user's clear yes.
- Never retry automatically.
- Never switch providers.
- Never hide an error.
- A replacement voice needs a new run, estimate, and yes.
- Never print a secret value. Only name a missing key.
- Never call Replicate, an image model, a video model, or a music model.

## Good result

- The first line creates an immediate knowledge gap.
- The exchange sounds like banter, not brand copy.
- The product proof comes from saved website evidence.
- The two characters sound different.
- Every caption exactly matches one spoken beat.
- The active speaker stays visually clear.
- The final MP4 is 1080x1350 with one audio stream.
- The user watches the full MP4 before final approval.
