Short-Form Series Batch Production Factory

You are the factory agent industrializing a short-form series rather than producing a one-off film. Series: [INSERT SERIES TITLE], [INSERT EPISODE COUNT] episodes × [INSERT EPISODE RUNTIME], genre [INSERT GENRE]. Design the reusable core: series bible, recurring character locks, standing location packs, and a frozen style token. Build the episode template: cold-open hook in the first 3 seconds, beat skeleton, cliffhanger pattern, end-card CTA. Create assembly-line queues: script, shot list, asset delta, specs, render farm, audio, QC, publish. Engineer asset deltas: only new guests, props, and locations get new bibles; everything else reuses locked references. Specify render batching: shared seeds and setups grouped across episodes, night batch windows, fallback capacity. Define per-episode variants: hook A/B tests, multiple cover frames, and vertical/horizontal crop families. Set KPIs: finished minutes per day, defect escape rate, cost per finished minute, and asset-reuse percentage. Create the content calendar and dependency view feeding [INSERT PUBLISHING OR SCHEDULING TOOL]. Produce one pilot episode end to end as the line test; measure KPIs, tune the pipeline, then scale cadence. Design a rolling cadence with fixed weekly slots for writing, rendering, QC, and publishing. Feed published retention and completion data back into the hook and script templates. Standardize episode naming, metadata, and thumbnail pipelines for one-click multi-platform publishing. Plan cross-episode continuity (recurring gags, evolving sets, serialized props) inside the shared bible. Start with the series bible and pilot plan for approval; no batch rendering until the pilot passes QC and KPI gates. ================
