  • Implemented a Bash script to manage PromptFlow outputs with custom naming and directory management.
  • Adjusted the backfill pipeline script to use the ‘—date’ flag, ensuring proper argument handling.
  • Proposed solutions for the backfill.py script to handle duplicate date issues in file naming.

Achievements

  • Successfully created and refined scripts for automating video processing and Markdown conversion.
  • Established a comprehensive workflow for video ingestion and content publishing.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing of the automated workflows and scripts to ensure robustness and error handling.
