CADENCE/STARTER

LOCAL WORKFLOW GUARDRAIL

Your script changed.
Your pipeline should notice.

Get the complete Cadence Starter engine plus the focused Approval Guard Kit. Both are readable local Python source: one manages the workflow; the other drops stale-approval gates into pipelines you already have.

REAL PRODUCT BEHAVIOURLOCAL
Cadence detects that an approved script changed, reopens its approval gate, and blocks dependent stages
APPROVAL INVALIDATEDNo uploads. No hidden service.
ACTUAL OUTPUT SOURCE INCLUDED

RUN THE CORE IDEA BEFORE YOU PAY

A real file. A real fingerprint. Two minutes.

Download the dependency-free Python sample, approve the included script, change one line, and watch the approval turn stale. No email gate and no account.

THE EXPENSIVE LITTLE BUG

A green checkbox can lie.

Most folders, boards, and scripts remember that something was approved. They do not remember exactly what was approved.

WITHOUT A CONTENT FINGERPRINT

  1. script.md gets approved
  2. The ending is rewritten
  3. The old approval still looks valid
  4. Scenes and renders continue from stale work
FALSE GREEN

WITH CADENCE

  1. script.md gets fingerprinted
  2. The ending is rewritten
  3. The fingerprint no longer matches
  4. The gate reopens and dependent work blocks
SAFE TO CONTINUE? NOT YET.

FIVE COMMANDS TO THE POINT

Small enough to understand.

Cadence does not replace your creative tools. It keeps their outputs honest.

BUY IT IF

You are already stitching tools together.

  • Your pipeline mixes research, scripts, assets, renders, and manual review.
  • You want local state instead of another hosted dashboard.
  • You can use a terminal and edit Markdown, CSV, or JSON.
  • You want a tested foundation instead of rebuilding dependency logic.

SKIP IT IF

You expect one-click finished videos.

  • It does not generate research, scripts, voices, images, or edits.
  • It does not include Claude, OpenAI, or any other AI service.
  • It does not contain the seller's private pipeline or accounts.
  • Custom tool connections still require your own reviewed scripts.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Straight answers.

Does this require Claude or use the seller's Claude account?

No. There is no Claude, Anthropic, OpenAI, or other model dependency. If you later connect an AI tool, you use your own account and credentials.

Is it a finished media generator?

No. It is the workflow layer around tools and manual stages. It tracks whether inputs and outputs are present, current, approved, and safe to advance.

Do I need to be a programmer?

You need basic terminal and text-file comfort. The included example works immediately; connecting custom generators or renderers requires reviewing command arrays or scripts.

Does anything leave my machine?

Cadence itself has no telemetry, account, hosted service, or network client. External tools you choose to connect have their own policies.

What is included in the bundle?

The attached customer ZIP contains Cadence Starter. After payment, the private buyer message provides the separate Approval Guard Kit ZIP. Both include complete source, documentation, tests, checksums, and their own single-operator commercial-use licence.

What is the licence?

One operator may modify and use both tools for unlimited personal and commercial workflows. Redistribution, resale, team sharing, and offering either tool itself as a service are excluded.

ONE PURCHASE / NO SUBSCRIPTION

Stop letting stale work look approved.
