Purpose

Plan recurring video publishing schedule with themes, formats, dependencies, and review cadence.

Use when

• A team needs repeatable video production cadence across weeks/months.
• You are planning schedule/ops, not producing a single script or edit plan.

Required inputs

• Publishing goals, channels, and cadence targets [client-provided].
• Brand/client context from context/BRAND-CONTEXT.template.md and context/CLIENT-CONTEXT.template.md.
• Resource capacity, campaign windows, and approval SLAs.

Safety/authority

• No fabricated forecast metrics or guaranteed growth outcomes.
• No direct scheduling/publishing actions; provide planning draft only.
• Flag capacity gaps and unknown dependencies clearly.

Workflow

1. Map content pillars and format mix by channel.
2. Build calendar with production lead times and approval checkpoints.
3. Link each slot to required script/edit/storyboard inputs.
4. Add contingency plan for delays or asset shortages.

Output format

- Video calendar summary
- Publishing grid (date | format | objective | owner | dependencies)
- Production lead-time map
- Contingency and risk notes

Quality checks

• Calendar aligns with available capacity and approval timelines.
• Each scheduled item has clear objective and prerequisite dependencies.
