AI agent for filmmakers
Production Draft Lock and Revision Pages Agent
Correct revision pages with stable scene numbers, ready to distribute
What it does
Revised pages are mislabeled, and departments work from old versions. This agent compares the new draft with the locked one, identifies the changed scenes and creates revision pages with the right color and date. It checks scene numbers and page breaks, and verifies that no unchanged scene moved. It builds the distribution list for each department. If a check fails, for example an added scene that pushed later pages, it corrects the page numbering using the A-page rules and checks again. The writer approves before release. Edge case: a deleted scene is marked OMITTED so the numbering stays stable.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides
Scenes are changed when their text differs from the locked version. Unchanged scenes must keep their scene numbers and pages. Omitted scenes are kept with their number.
- Keep numbers on unchanged scenes
- Mark deleted scenes OMITTED
- Use the next color in the order
- Add added scenes as A-numbers
