  • ✅ Brand voice compliance (passes brand guidelines to prompts)
  • ✅ Error handling with per-derivative failure tracking
  • ✅ Analytics tracking for each repurposing batch
  • ✅ In-app notifications on completion
  • ✅ Audit logging
  • ✅ Batch processing (creates all derivatives in one job)

4. Dashboard UI

Files:

  • apps/dashboard/src/app/(dashboard)/blog/actions.ts
  • apps/dashboard/src/app/(dashboard)/blog/[id]/RepurposeModal.tsx
  • apps/dashboard/src/app/(dashboard)/blog/[id]/BlogPostDetail.tsx
  • apps/dashboard/src/components/LineageBadge.tsx

Features:

  • ✅ “Repurpose Content” button on approved blog posts
  • ✅ Elegant modal with target format selection

  • ✅ Visual format cards with icons and descriptions
  • ✅ Real-time credit cost calculation
  • ✅ Error handling and validation
  • ✅ Success notifications
  • ✅ Server action with proper authorization checks
  • ✅ Lineage badge components for showing source/derivative relationships

5. Credit Costs

  • ✅ Repurposing costs 0.5 credits per derivative (50% less than creating from scratch)
  • ✅ Credits reserved upfront and consumed per successful derivative
  • ✅ Failed derivatives don’t consume credits
  • ✅ Real-time cost preview in modal

6. Approval Flow

  • ✅ Each derivative goes through standard 2-gate approval (DM → Client)
  • ✅ Status tracking: pending → dm_review → dm_approved → client_review → client_approved
  • ✅ Rejection handling per derivative (not batch-level)

7. Analytics & Tracking

Features:

  • ✅ RepurposingAnalytics table tracks:
    • Source type → Target type combinations
    • Derivative count per batch
    • Total credits used
    • Completion timestamps
  • ✅ Tenant-level analytics for identifying popular repurposing paths
  • ✅ Audit log entries for repurposing actions
  • ✅ Activity log integration

8. Notifications

  • ✅ In-app notification when batch completes
  • ✅ Shows success count (e.g., “3 of 4 derivatives generated successfully”)
  • ✅ Links to activities page filtered by batch
  • ✅ Individual notifications per derivative (inherits from normal content approval flow)

9. Documentation

Files:

  • docs/new-features/content-repurposing-engine.md (updated)

  • ✅ Added “Future Enhancements” section documenting bulk repurposing

  • ✅ Clear use cases and implementation notes for post-launch features

🎯 Key Design Decisions

1. Repurposing Credits (0.5 vs 2.0)

Decision: Charge 0.5 credits per derivative instead of 2.0 for full creation
Rationale: Repurposing is easier than creating from scratch since source content provides structure and ideas. Users should see value in repurposing vs creating separately.

2. 2-Gate Approval Flow

Decision: Keep full DM → Client approval for derivatives
Rationale: Even though source was approved, derivatives may have quality issues, platform-specific mistakes, or need customization. Quality control remains critical.

3. Batch Processing

Decision: Process all derivatives in a single worker job
Rationale: Reduces queue overhead, enables shared credit reservation, allows batch-level analytics, and provides atomic success/failure tracking.

4. Template System

Decision: Built-in prompts with optional tenant-specific overrides
Rationale: Provides great defaults while allowing customization. Templates stored in RepurposingTemplate table, can be managed via manage portal (to be implemented).

5. Generic Social Posts

Decision: Create one social post per platform, not separate models
Rationale: SocialPost model already supports multi-platform with platform field. Derivatives can specify platform via inputPayload, keeping schema simple.

🚀 Next Steps (Implementation Ready)

1. Database Migration

cd packages/db
npx prisma migrate dev --name add_content_repurposing
npx prisma generate

2. Start Worker

The worker is created at packages/agents/src/workers/content-repurposer.worker.ts.

Add to your worker startup script (e.g., apps/api/src/start-workers.ts):

import contentRepurposerWorker from "@leadmetrics/agents/workers/content-repurposer.worker";

3. Seed Default Templates (Optional)

Create a seed script to populate RepurposingTemplate table with default prompts for all repurposing paths. Currently, prompts are hardcoded in the worker, but tenant-specific overrides can be stored in the template table.

4. Template Management Portal ✅ COMPLETED

Features:

  • ✅ List all repurposing templates (global + tenant-specific)
  • ✅ Create new templates with custom prompts
  • ✅ Edit existing templates (tenant-specific only)
  • ✅ Clone templates (global → tenant-specific)
  • ✅ Delete templates (tenant-specific only)
  • ✅ Toggle active/inactive status
  • ✅ Filter by source type, target type, and scope
  • ✅ Search templates by name/description

📝 Future Enhancements (Post-Launch)

Bulk Repurposing

Priority: Medium
Effort: Small

Allow users to select multiple approved posts and repurpose all at once:

  • Checkbox selection on deliverables list
  • “Bulk Repurpose” dropdown action
  • Same modal UI, but creates batches for each source
  • Single batch progress tracker
  • Notification when all batches complete

Implementation Notes:

  • Reuse existing modal and worker
  • Add multi-select state to deliverables list
  • Create separate batch per source (don’t mix sources in one batch)
  • Track “super-batch” ID for UI progress display

Smart Repurposing Suggestions

Priority: Low
Effort: Medium

Analyze content and suggest optimal repurposing targets:

  • Long-form blog (2000+ words) → Thread + Email
  • Data-heavy blog → Carousel + Report
  • How-to blog → Video script + Carousel
  • News blog → Social + Ad copy

A/B Testing Derivatives

Priority: Low
Effort: Large

Generate multiple versions of each derivative and let users choose:

  • Generate 2-3 social post variants per blog
  • Show side-by-side comparison
  • User selects best version
  • Track which variants perform better

✅ Testing Checklist

  • Create a blog post and approve it
  • Click “Repurpose Content” button
  • Select multiple target formats including social posts with different platforms
  • Submit and verify activities are created
  • Verify worker processes batch
  • Verify derivatives are created with status “dm_review”
  • Verify sourceDeliverableId, sourceActivityId, derivativeType are set
  • Verify credits are consumed correctly
  • Verify analytics record is created
  • Verify in-app notification appears
  • Approve derivatives through DM and Client gates
  • Verify lineage badges appear on derivative pages
  • Test rejection flow for derivatives
  • Test worker failure handling (simulate Claude API error)
  • Verify credits are released on failure
