What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Deferred end-of-run B-roll cache eviction. For ONLY the B-roll source video_ids this run ingested (from each broll_plan.json's ingested_video_ids), runs `mcptube remove <id>` AND deletes the local work/<id>/broll/*.mp4 cache. Never touches the podcast source, unrelated library videos, or broll_plan.json (placement metadata persists for editors). Runs once at the very end of a whole pipeline run.

broll-cleanup

Runs ONCE at the end of a whole pipeline run, after every short is saved. Takes one or more broll_plan.json paths, unions their ingested_video_ids, and for each: mcptube remove <id> plus deletes that plan's local broll/*.mp4 cache.

Scope is strict: only the B-roll source videos this run added to mcptube (tracked via ingested_video_ids) are evicted — never the podcast source or pre-existing library videos. broll_plan.json itself is left intact so editors keep the per-cutaway placement + source metadata after the heavy mp4 cache is gone.

Invoke

.claude/skills/broll-cleanup/broll-cleanup.sh <broll_plan.json> [<broll_plan.json> ...]

Typically called with a glob over the run's plans, e.g. broll-cleanup.sh work/<id>/short_*/broll_plan.json.

Env

MCPTUBE_BIN — override mcptube path.

Behavior

Dedups video_ids across all supplied plans (one mcptube remove per id).
A remove that fails (id already gone) is logged, not fatal.
Deletes each pick's clip_path and any straggler *.mp4 in the broll/ dir.
Never edits or deletes broll_plan.json.
