Artifact Pipeline

Use this for multi-step knowledge work where artifacts compound.

Pipeline Flow

1. Identify the source artifact and target artifact.
2. Extract the structure, audience, and useful content.
3. Preserve source truth; do not invent missing facts.
4. Choose the right output format and destination.
5. Generate the target artifact in a project output folder.
6. Verify the artifact opens/renders.
7. Offer the next natural transformation only if it is useful.

Common Pipelines

• Transcript -> summary -> script -> slides -> social posts.
• Research notes -> content brief -> blog post -> LinkedIn/email.
• Doc -> landing page -> browser-tested app.
• Spreadsheet -> charts -> dashboard -> executive memo.
• Product images -> presentation -> Canva/social variants.
• Meeting notes -> tasks -> project plan -> automation.

Output Rules

• Name every output clearly.
• Keep source references attached where possible.
• For documents, sheets, and decks, verify the file opens or renders.
• For web/app outputs, run browser verification.
• For image-heavy outputs, show or reference the generated images.

Quality Gates

• Factual claims must trace back to the source artifact or a cited source.
• Format should match the target medium, not preserve source clutter.
• Do not bury the final artifact path.
• If the source is copyrighted, summarize and transform rather than reproduce large passages.

Source Notes

Distilled from the Codex capabilities transcript: Codex can chain local docs, landing pages, diagrams, images, presentations, browser checks, and plugin outputs.
