Each channel has a `data/<slug>/` directory and a `profile.md` (the channel profile); every storyboard/production/publish run that follows **loads this profile as its first step** and inherits tone, voice, theme, platforms, and verification policy. ``` data/ └── <channel slug>/ ├── profile.md # channel profile (SoT) ├── assets/ # channel-shared assets — catalog.md + branding/ intro/ outro/ … ├── growth/ # growth-loop state └── episodes/<topic slug>/ # episodes (created by the storyboard skill) ``` `data/README.md` and `references/assets-catalog-template.md` are the source of truth for the `assets/` kind slots and catalog conventions. Keep only what gets reused in two or more episodes; single-episode artifacts go in the topic's `.work/`. ## Argument parsing `[add|list|update|serve] [channel-name]` - `add <name>` — create a new channel (procedure below) - `list` — Glob for `data/*/profile.md` and report channel, description, and publish platforms as a table - `update <name>` — read the existing profile.md and edit only the fields the user specifies - `serve` — open the channel browser in the browser (procedure below) - W
