What it does
- Reads all research from
{workspace}/data/research/*.md. - Builds a system prompt with the base format rules + style-specific caller/structure instructions.
- Calls Gemini via the Interactions API (
client.interactions.create()). - Saves the script to
{workspace}/data/script.md.
Dependencies
google-genai(>= 2.0.0)
Output
- Script File:
{workspace}/data/script.md - Format: Plain text, each line starting with

Script Format Rules
- Every line:
SpeakerName: [audio tag] Dialogue text - Must include audio tags in square brackets (e.g.,
[sighs],[excitedly]). - Callers should sound amateurish (include "uh", "like", natural pauses).
- Short punchy sentences — spoken word, not prose.
- ~450-500 words total (~3 minutes when spoken).
