| Script Writer | Write scripts | Approved topic | Video script (hook + body + CTA) |
| Visual Generator | Create assets | Final script | Thumbnail + post images |
| Quality Controller | Validate output | Script + visuals | PASS/FAIL + feedback |
| Publisher | Format & post | Final content | Discord message + metadata |
4. Workflow Pipeline
1. TREND SCAN (every 6h)
→ Fetch: Twitter API, Google Trends, Reddit
→ Filter: relevance score > threshold
→ Output: trending-topics channel
2. TOPIC APPROVAL (automatic + manual)
→ Hermes reviews and ranks
→ User approves or rejects
→ Output: approved-topics channel
3. SCRIPT GENERATION (triggered on approval)
→ Script Writer agent picks topic
→ Generates: hook, main content, CTA
→ Output: scripts-drafts channel
4. QUALITY CHECK (automatic)
→ Quality Controller reviews
→ PASS → scripts-final
→ FAIL → feedback-loop + retry
5. VISUAL GENERATION (triggered on script approval)
→ Visual Generator creates thumbnail
→ Creates social media assets
→ Output: thumbnails channel
6. PUBLISH READY (automatic)
→ Publisher formats for each platform
→ Output: content-queue channel
5. Automation Stack
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|
| Hermes Agent | Orchestrator, runs all agents |
| Discord Bot | Channel management, posting |
| Twitter/X API | Trend monitoring |
| Google Trends API | Trend data |
| DALL-E / Flux | Thumbnail generation |
| Claude/GPT | Script writing |
| n8n / Make | Workflow automation glue |
| Redis | Queue management |
6. Leverage & Scalability
- Agents run in parallel — multiple scripts simultaneously
- Queue-based processing — no blocking
- Templates — script structure reused, only content changes
- Modular agents — add new formats without rebuilding
- Human-in-the-loop only at approval gates
7. Quality Control
- Automatic scoring: engagement prediction, completeness check
- Human review: scripts and thumbnails must be approved
- Feedback loop: corrections improve next outputs
- Performance tracking: metrics per topic, per format, per agent
8. Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping the approval gate — fully automated content loses quality
- Too many agents — start with 3, add only when necessary
- No feedback loop — agents repeat mistakes without corrections
- Monolithic design — keep agents small and replaceable
- Ignoring metrics — track what works, kill what doesn't
