The Content Agent Contract For Manual AI Video Workflows

The content agent should not pretend it has direct image or video generation APIs. Its job is a committed HTML package with prompts, hooks, captions, and publishing notes.

Some content agents fail because they pretend every creative tool has an API. The useful contract is simpler: research what should be made, write the prompts precisely, package them in a durable artifact, and notify the human who runs the media tools.

The Deliverable

For OnyxWork, the daily output is a branded HTML file at marketing/daily-viral-content-YYYY-MM-DD.html. It contains GPT Image 2 prompts, Seedance 2.0 Director's Blueprints, storyboard prompts, hooks, captions, content ideas, and publishing notes.

Why HTML

HTML is easy to review, track in GitHub, open in a browser, and copy from during manual production. It also gives the content agent a concrete delivery contract instead of a loose chat transcript.

The Agent Should Commit

The content agent owns the file, the formatting, the commit, and the notification. The founder owns manual image and video generation in GPT Image 2, Seedance 2.0, or the current production tool.
