What we like
Seven agent modules research a topic, write the script, design thumbnails, optimise metadata, render a real MP4 and fold retention evidence into the next cycle, with a human approval gate before every publish. Eight text and five video providers are tabled with their environment variable names, and a free local slideshow path runs without paid keys.
Potential improvements
The dashboard is four files and thin. First run is gated on provider credentials, so the walkthrough cannot finish out of the box.
Minimum requirements
Node 18.17 or newer, FFmpeg on the command path, and one text-provider key.
Security risks
No credential material ships; the environment file is an empty template. Publishing spends your own channel credentials, so the approval gate is the control that matters.
Tested: packaging, counts and credential sweep. Not tested: a live run with paid provider keys.
