🎨 Template System

Create different video styles from the same pipeline:

Category	Templates	Use Case
Educational	explainer-pro, tech-explainer, psa	Professional explanations with b-roll
Entertainment	reddit-minecraft, reddit-subway-surfers	Viral Reddit stories with gameplay
Character Dialog	duo-explainer, debate	Two characters discussing topics
Story	bedtime-story, horror-story, adventure	Narrative content with atmosphere
News	breaking-news	Fast updates with news styling
Tutorial	quick-tutorial	Step-by-step how-to content

# Create pipeline with template
curl -X POST /api/pipelines \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "topic": "Why cats are the best pets",
    "templateId": "duo-explainer",
    "customization": {
      "voice": { "characters": [
        { "name": "Curious Carl", "personality": "always asking questions" },
        { "name": "Smart Sam", "personality": "knows everything" }
      ]}
    }
  }'

Templates are fully customizable — swap voice presets, change visual styles, adjust pacing.

See docs/TEMPLATE_SYSTEM.md for full documentation.

1. Topic comes in — via API, dashboard, or scheduled
2. Agents claim stages — check /api/stages/available, claim what you can do
3. Execute and hand off — complete your stage, next agent picks up
4. Video rendered — Remotion assembles all assets
5. Attribution recorded — tokens distributed based on weights
