# Media Curator Framework

Intelligent media archive management for building, curating, and maintaining comprehensive media collections. Handles discography analysis, source discovery, acquisition, quality assessment, metadata curation, and multi-platform export.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Deploy the framework
aiwg use media-curator

# Analyze an artist's discography
/analyze-artist "Twenty One Pilots"

# Discover sources for specific content
/find-sources "Twenty One Pilots" --scope "complete"

# Acquire content from discovered sources
/acquire --plan sources.yaml

# Tag and organize the collection
/tag-collection /path/to/collection

# Check collection completeness
/check-completeness "Twenty One Pilots"

# Verify archive integrity
/verify-archive /path/to/collection

# Export for a specific platform
/export --profile plex /path/to/collection /path/to/output
```

## User Interaction Patterns

### Complete Collection
```
User: "My favorite band is Radiohead - build me the complete collection"
→ Analyzes eras, discovers sources, acquires systematically, delivers organized collection
```

### Targeted Extraction
```
User: "I love early Metallica - Master of Puppets era"
→ Identifies 1983-1988, finds era-specific content, delivers focused collection
```

### Event/Tour Focus
```
User: "Twenty One Pilots Bandito Tour - everything from that tour"
→ Identifies tour dates/venues, finds pro-shot performances, delivers tour archive
```
