What episode-orchestrator does

The subagent checks whether a request has enough episode information, validates required fields, then sends the payload to configured agents in order. It can carry earlier outputs forward and returns a combined JSON response, including structured details when an agent call fails.

When the request is unclear or key details are missing, it asks exactly one focused question before choosing a route based on the reply. Example episode fields include a title, duration, and air date; the required set depends on the workflow. The agent sequence must be configured in advance, so this subagent does not define which specialists handle each step.

What it helps with

validate episode details before dispatch
send a payload through agents in a fixed sequence
ask for missing details before routing
combine agent responses and errors as JSON

Example prompts for the agent

Check whether this episode request has the required details, then route it to the configured agents.
Ask one question for any missing episode information, then continue with the appropriate agent.
Return the agents’ results and any invocation errors in a combined JSON response.
