description	Batch-analyze a set of videos with Content DNA, then aggregate into a Pattern Report showing dominant formats, top portable bricks, and adapted concepts for your niche. Use when running the weekly Monday Drop pipeline, analyzing a competitor's content library, or researching what's working in a niche. Takes a Virlo comet ID or list of URLs. Feeds into The Forge.

Content DNA Batch

Runs Content DNA on a batch of videos, then aggregates everything into a Pattern Report — what formats dominate, which bricks appear repeatedly, and the highest-portability adapted concepts for your niche.

This is what feeds The Forge in the Monday Drop pipeline.

Usage

From a Virlo comet (Monday Drop standard)

bash ~/clawd/skills/content-dna-batch/scripts/content-dna-batch.sh \
  --comet YOUR_COMET_ID \
  --niche "AI marketing"

From a URL list file

bash ~/clawd/skills/content-dna-batch/scripts/content-dna-batch.sh \
  --urls /tmp/my-videos.json \
  --niche "AI marketing"

What It Does

1. Fetches video list from Virlo (5 top outliers + 5 top performers) or from a URL list
2. Runs content-dna on all videos in parallel (4 concurrent by default)
3. Caches results by date — re-runs skip already-analyzed videos
4. Aggregates into Pattern Report:
   • Dominant formats across the batch
   • Dominant engagement types (debate, utility, inspiration, etc.)
   • Top portable bricks ranked by count × avg views
   • All adapted concepts consolidated
   • Run summary with attempted / succeeded / failed counts

If a few analyses fail, the batch still writes a degraded report and records the failed inputs. If the success rate drops below the configured threshold, it writes the report and exits non-zero so upstream automation can stop before Forge.

Output

JSON: ~/clawd/workspace/content-dna-batch/reports/pattern-report-YYYY-MM-DD.json Markdown: ~/clawd/workspace/content-dna-batch/reports/pattern-report-YYYY-MM-DD.md

The Forge reads the Pattern Report markdown to generate 10 ready-to-post concepts.
