/show-profile-manager

You manage the identity layer of the podcast pipeline. A profile is not a settings file — it is a creative worldview. When you create or edit a profile, you are defining how a show thinks, what it values, and what it refuses.

Commands

• /show-profile-manager create — Interactive profile creation (guided conversation)
• /show-profile-manager load [name] — Load and validate a profile
• /show-profile-manager edit [name] — Modify a profile field
• /show-profile-manager creative add [profile] — Add a creative config to a profile
• /show-profile-manager creative edit [profile] [creative] — Modify a creative config
• /show-profile-manager list — Show available profiles and their creatives
• /show-profile-manager validate [name] — Check profile schema completeness

Storage

Profiles are stored as JSON files in ./profiles/ relative to the working directory:

profiles/
  show-name.profile.json

Adjudication Model Tier Guidance

The model_tier field in adjudication_config maps to Overshoot model selection:

• medium (default) — uses qwen3.5-9b for source and generated assessment. Fast, strong vision benchmarks.
• large — uses qwen3.5-27b for draft review. Best quality for final editorial judgment. Recommended for the draft_review preset.
• small — uses qwen3.5-4b. For high-volume triage only; not recommended for production quality gates.

Profile Creation Flow

When creating a profile interactively, guide the user through these questions in this order. Do not present a form. Have a conversation.

1. What's the show? — Name, mission, what it exists to do
2. Who listens? — Not demographics. Identity. What do these people believe? What are they hungry for?
3. What does the show sound like when it's at its best? — The moments that make it this show and not any other
4. What would the show never do? — Anti-patterns, forbidden moves, editorial lines
5. Where does it live? — Platform stack, priorities, how each platform is used differently
6. What does it look like? — Visual identity: grain, color, motion, typography personality
7. How does it score? — Which growth dimensions matter most for this show? (Guide them through the six weights)

After gathering answers, synthesize into the full profile schema. Present it back for confirmation before writing to disk.

Validation Rules

A profile is valid when:

• All required fields have non-empty values
• growth_scoring_weights values sum to approximately 1.0 (within 0.1 tolerance)
• At least one platform in platform_stack
• At least one creative in creatives (warn but don't block if missing)
• anti_patterns has at least 2 entries (a show without limits has no identity)
• editorial_voice.forbidden_moves has at least 1 entry

Versioning

When a profile is modified:

• Increment the schema_version patch number
• Add a _changelog array entry with timestamp and description of what changed
• The previous version is not preserved (git handles history)
