Card-News Orchestrator

Diagnose your card-news production state, select the right pipeline mode, and guide execution. No external tools — pure routing. Reads memory to recommend what to run and when.

Purpose

Card-News Orchestrator is the traffic controller for the 6 card-news skills. It answers:

What card-news assets exist, and what's missing?
Which mode fits my current request?
Which skill should run next?
What's the full execution path?

This skill never creates content itself. It reads memory to diagnose the current state, analyzes the user's request, and produces a step-by-step execution plan pointing to the right skills.

Memory Auto-Load Protocol

On every invocation, BEFORE any routing:

1. Check card-news-memory/ exists
   → If missing: create from card-news-memory-template/
   → If creation fails: proceed with all values as "NOT SET"
2. Try to read card-news-memory/ files:
   - series-config.md → Brand header, handle, tags, colors
   - production-log.md → Recent production history
   - copy-bank.md → Approved copy archive
   → Any file missing: mark as "NOT SET" in dashboard, continue
3. Optional: Check brand-memory/voice-profile.md → Brand tone
4. Optional: Check creative-memory/visual-guidelines.md → Visual identity
   → These directories may not exist — mark as "MISSING" and continue

어떤 파일이 없어도 orchestrator는 중단하지 않는다. Dashboard에 현재 상태를 표시하고, 사용자에게 누락된 설정을 안내한 뒤 가능한 모드로 진행한다.

Modes

Mode	Name	When to Use	Behavior
A	Full Production	Start from scratch — topic given, no existing copy	copy-writer → copy-evaluator → contents-manager → image-generator → card-news-maker
B	Re-render	Approved copy exists, need visual output	contents-manager → image-generator → card-news-maker
C	Copy Only	Write + evaluate copy, no rendering	copy-writer → copy-evaluator
D	Quick Render	All assets ready (copy + icons + images)	card-news-maker only

Process

Step 1: Build Production Status Dashboard

Generate from Auto-Load data:

Card-News Production Status
══════════════════════════════
Config:
  Series Config     : [CONFIGURED / NOT SET]
  Brand Header      : [value or MISSING]
  Account Handle    : [value or MISSING]

Recent Production:
  Last produced     : [DATE or NEVER]
  Total sets        : [N]

Assets:
  Copy Bank entries : [N] (few-shot references)

External Context:
  Brand Voice       : [AVAILABLE / MISSING]
  Visual Guidelines : [AVAILABLE / MISSING]
  Research Data     : [AVAILABLE / MISSING]

Always show the dashboard first — it grounds the conversation in facts.

Step 2: Gather Input

Collect from the user:

Input	Required	Default	Notes
Topic / Theme	Yes	—	The subject of the card-news
Card count	No	4	Range: 2~10
Language	No	한국어	Copy language
Card structure	No	Auto (copy-writer decides)	Override: explicit type sequence
Color override	No	series-config defaults	Custom --highlight, --feature-bg, etc.

If series-config.md has no brand header or handle configured, prompt the user to set them before proceeding. Write to series-config.md if new values are provided.

Step 3: Select Mode

Condition	Auto-Suggest
New topic, no existing copy	Mode A: Full Production
Copy exists (from copy-bank or user-provided), needs rendering	Mode B: Re-render
User wants copy only ("카피만", "글만 써줘")	Mode C: Copy Only
All assets provided (copy + images + icons)	Mode D: Quick Render
Ambiguous	Show dashboard → ask user to pick

Present the suggested mode with a one-line rationale. Let the user confirm or override.

Step 4: Build Execution Path

Mode A: Full Production

Full Production Pipeline
══════════════════════════
Step 1: copy-writer        → Card structure + all copy
Step 2: copy-evaluator     → Quality gate (PASS / REVISION)
        ↳ REVISION → back to copy-writer with feedback
Step 3: contents-manager   → Icon selection + image prompts
Step 4: image-generator    → AI image generation (nanobanana)
Step 5: card-news-maker    → HTML assembly + Playwright render → PNG

Note: Steps 1-2 and Step 3 can run in parallel.
      Step 4 needs Step 3 output. Step 5 needs all previous outputs.

Mode B: Re-render

Re-render Pipeline
══════════════════════════
Step 1: contents-manager   → Icon selection + image prompts
Step 2: image-generator    → AI image generation
Step 3: card-news-maker    → HTML assembly + render → PNG

Mode C: Copy Only

Copy Only Pipeline
══════════════════════════
Step 1: copy-writer        → Card structure + all copy
Step 2: copy-evaluator     → Quality gate
        ↳ REVISION → back to copy-writer

Mode D: Quick Render

Quick Render Pipeline
══════════════════════════
Step 1: card-news-maker    → HTML assembly + render → PNG

Step 5: Guide Execution

Initial handoff:

▶ Next skill: [SKILL_NAME]
  Purpose: [one-line description]
  Input needed: [what to prepare]

Say "[SKILL_NAME] 실행해줘" to start.

After each skill completes:

✅ [COMPLETED_SKILL] done → [output description]

▶ Next: [NEXT_SKILL_NAME]
  Purpose: [one-line description]

Continue? Say "[NEXT_SKILL_NAME] 실행해줘"

After all skills complete:

Summarize what was produced:

Number of cards rendered
Output path
Log entry in production-log.md

Suggest next options: make another set, modify copy, change theme, export for different platform.

Skill Quick-Reference

Skill	MCP Tool	Output
copy-writer	None	Structured copy markdown
copy-evaluator	None	PASS / PASS WITH NOTES / REVISION
contents-manager	None	Icon SVGs + image prompts
image-generator	nanobanana	PNG image files
card-news-maker	Playwright	Assembled HTML + card PNG files (1080x1350)

Cross-Plugin Connections

Direction	Connection	Purpose
← brand-memory	voice-profile.md → copy-writer, copy-evaluator	Brand voice consistency
← creative-memory	visual-guidelines.md → contents-manager, image-generator	Visual identity
← research-memory	topic research → copy-writer	Research-backed content
→ creative-mkt	card images → image-creator for variations	Visual asset reuse

What This Skill Does NOT Do

Write copy → copy-writer
Evaluate copy → copy-evaluator
Plan visual assets → contents-manager
Generate images → image-generator
Render HTML/PNG → card-news-maker
Create content of any kind → It only routes and coordinates

Card-News Orchestrator stays focused on routing — diagnosing, planning, and guiding.
