+# Multi-Agent Content Factory
+
+You're a content creator juggling research, writing, and design across multiple platforms. Each step — finding trending topics, writing scripts, generating thumbnails — eats hours of your day. What if a team of specialized agents handled all of it overnight?
+
+This workflow sets up a multi-agent content factory inside Discord, where different agents handle research, writing, and visual assets in dedicated channels.
+
+## What It Does
+
+- **Research Agent** scans trending stories, competitor content, and social media for the best content opportunities each morning
+- **Writing Agent** takes the top ideas and writes full scripts, threads, or newsletter drafts
+- **Thumbnail Agent** generates AI thumbnails or cover images for the content
+- Each agent works in its own Discord channel, keeping everything organized and reviewable
+- Runs automatically on a schedule (e.g., daily at 8 AM) so you wake up to finished content
+
+## Pain Point
+
+Content creation has three phases — research, writing, and design — and most creators are doing all three manually. Even with AI writing tools, you still have to prompt them one at a time. This system chains agents together in a pipeline where one agent's output feeds the next, completely hands-free.
+
+## Skills You Need
+
+- Discord integration with multiple channels
+- `sessions_spawn` / `sessions_send` for multi-agent orchestration
+- [x-research-v2](https://clawhub.ai) or similar for social media research
+- Local image generation (e.g., Nano Banana) or an image generation API
+- [knowledge-base](https://clawhub.ai) skill (optional, for RAG-powered research)
+
+## How to Set It Up
+
+1. Set up a Discord server (or ask OpenClaw to do it for you — just say "Set up a Discord for us").
+
+2. Create channels for each agent:
+   - `#research` — trending topics and content opportunities
+   - `#scripts` — written drafts and outlines
+   - `#thumbnails` — generated images and cover art
+
+3. Prompt OpenClaw:
+```text
+I want you to build me a content factory inside of Discord.
+Set up channels for different agents:
+
+1. Research Agent (#research): Every morning at 8 AM, research top trending
+   stories, competitor content, and what's performing well on social media
+   in my niche. Post the top 5 content opportunities with sources.
+
+2. Writing Agent (#scripts): Take the best idea from the research agent
+   and write a full script/thread/newsletter draft. Post it in #scripts.
+
+3. Thumbnail Agent (#thumbnails): Generate AI thumbnails or cover images
+   for the content. Post them in #thumbnails.
+
+Have all their work organized in different channels.
+Run this pipeline automatically every morning.
+```
+
+4. Customize for your platform:
+```text
+I focus on X/Twitter threads, not YouTube. Change the writing agent
+to produce tweet threads instead of video scripts.
+```
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- The power is in the **chained agents** — research feeds writing, writing feeds thumbnails. You don't prompt each step individually.
+- Discord channels make it easy to review each agent's work separately and give feedback like "scripts are too long" or "focus more on AI news."
+- You can adapt this for any content format: tweets, newsletters, LinkedIn posts, podcast outlines, blog articles.
+- Running a local model for image generation (like Nano Banana on a Mac Studio) keeps costs down and gives you more control.
