 "title": "Gate a build or pipeline on fresh video sidecars",
 "page_title": "How to gate a build or pipeline on fresh video sidecars with Cdaf",
 "summary": "Use Cdaf validate as an exit-code check so stale descriptions never reach downstream steps.",
 "who": "A DevOps or CI engineer whose pipeline feeds video files to AI agents and needs to reject outdated descriptions.",
 "problem": "A video edited after its description was written can silently feed wrong content to downstream agents.",
 "outcome": "The pipeline stops on any video whose sidecar is missing or stale, and continues only when all sidecars are fresh.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `pip install \"cdaf[generate] @ git+https://github.com/UditAkhourii/cdaf.git#subdirectory=cli\"` on the build runner, or install the CLI from a clone with `pip install ./cli[generate]`.",
  "Run `cdaf validate ./footage/clip.mp4` for each video in the pipeline.",
  "Fail the job when the command exits with a nonzero code, and regenerate with `cdaf generate ./footage` for any stale clip.",
  "Run `cdaf read ./footage/clip.mp4` in downstream steps to get the description after the hash check passes. (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the CDAF CLI from the repo UditAkhourii/cdaf, run `cdaf validate` on each video path in <video-list> and report the exit code for each. Stop and list any video whose sidecar is missing or stale, and verify that validate exits 0 for every video that passes.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The validate and read commands need no API key, but sidecars must already exist, so generation still needs a Gemini key or the local provider.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [

 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Python 3.10 or newer",
  "Node.js with npx for the agent skill install",
  "A Gemini API key (bring your own) for generating sidecars, or the local provider for no-key generation",
  "ffmpeg, only if you run the synthetic benchmark"
