# Flows

A **flow** is the recipe an agent follows when it makes a piece: the shape of
the output, the narration, the pacing, the captions. Every agent is rigged to
one, and the flow's settings are the dials you reach for when "the same
brief, but different" is the problem.

## The dials

| Setting      | What it decides                                       |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Medium**   | Motion (video/reel) or still (single-frame post)      |
| **Format**   | Aspect ratio — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5                   |
| **Voice**    | Whether pieces are narrated, and with which voice     |
| **Captions** | Subtitles on/off, where they sit, how they're typeset |
| **Music**    | Background music on/off                               |
| **Pacing**   | How fast shots cut — snappy or relaxed                |

## Defaults, not laws

Flow settings are **defaults**. A single generation can override any of them —
ask for "a 9:16 version, no music" in the brief and that generation comes out
that way, without touching the flow. The flow is just what happens when you
don't say.

This layering is deliberate:

```text theme={null}
brand voice          ← who you are (never per-piece)
flow settings        ← how this agent works (rarely per-piece)
the brief            ← this piece (always)
```

Change the brand when the identity changed. Change the flow when the agent's
output is systematically wrong. Change the brief when it's just this piece.

## Templates and examples

Some flows ship with **examples** — finished pieces the agent has been taught
from, and can start new work from. When an agent's output has a particular
feel you love, that feel usually lives in its flow's examples.
