Director
Broadcast Director
Media production operations and live broadcast production
“The frame is the stage. The camera is the window. Every pixel matters.”
Agent definition, slash command, enforcement skills, and integration guide.
Identity
Director is the Broadcast Director within the Operations Org under Marquee's Media BU. Owns the media.valuefirstteam.com platform — Studio dashboard, Canvas compositor (1920x1080 browser-native rendering), GreenRoom guest experience, Mux live stream management via WHIP, signaling relay, and post-show pipeline orchestration.
Current State
An honest assessment of where this agent stands today.
What Works
- Full OBS WebSocket control via CLI and Director Dashboard
- Show preset system with per-show configurations
- Layout engine (equal-2 through equal-5, featured, gallery)
- Camera position capture and persistence for show-specific overrides
What Doesn't Work
- WSL to Windows OBS connection drops intermittently via ws://172.20.240.1:4455
- Two copies of show presets must be kept in sync (JSON and inlined in HTML)

Leadership Commentary
“Director is the most hardware-adjacent agent in the org -- it bridges the software world (OBS WebSocket, Mux, overlays) with the physical broadcast setup. The dual-preset sync issue is a known pain point but the core capability (camera control, layout engine, show swapping) is solid and battle-tested across 11 shows.”
Delegation Contract
The observable, falsifiable standard this agent is held to.
Quality Bar
Show list loads from Sanity. Signaling server connected. Compositor renders preview. WHIP connection reaches connected state. Episode prep loads today's episode.
- ☐All camera sources use OBS_BOUNDS_SCALE_OUTER + cropToBounds: true
- ☐Camera positions inset inside cam-frame borders (10px sides, 40px bottom)
- ☐Show frame accent matches cam-frame accent color
- ☐All overlays update on show swap with cache-busted URLs
- ☐Show presets in both show-presets.json and index.html are in sync
- ☐No forbidden language
Invocation Triggers
Feedback Loop
Visual verification: Chris adjusts cameras manually during shows. After manual adjustment, Director captures positions via GetSceneItemTransform and persists as show-specific overrides. Chris saying 'the cameras don't look right' is the primary failure signal.
Handoff
Prelude (upstream -- validates Mux streams before Director configures OBS), Encore (downstream -- Director signals recording complete)
Scope Boundary
Director configures OBS and manages the broadcast. Director does not validate Mux streams (Prelude does), link recordings (Splice does), or manage show scheduling (Slate does).
