Human-Reviewed Agentic Content Pipeline

A preprint for planner/writer/worker orchestration with approval gates.

Shiva is useful only if agents accelerate drafts while humans retain publication control. This note scopes that boundary.

Abstract

This research note defines the safe shape of Shiva: agent roles can research, outline, draft, and package content, but publication requires human review. The work is connected to the existing VNG blog/admin pipeline and Hermes draft endpoint. The claim is not autonomous publishing; it is supervised throughput with clear review states.

Claims

  • Agentic content systems need review states, not hidden auto-publish paths.
  • Research, drafting, and QA should be separate roles with evidence attached to each output.
  • The safest first product is a draft accelerator for owned channels.

Methods

  • Review of the current blog admin pipeline and Hermes draft endpoint.
  • Scope split between planning, drafting, QA, and human approval.
  • Content safety review against dark-pattern and low-evidence publishing risks.

Reproduce This

  • Create a draft through the protected Hermes endpoint.
  • Verify the draft lands in admin review state before publication.
  • Confirm publication still requires a human admin action.

Limitations

  • External source citation quality depends on the research provider configured for a run.
  • The current public artifact is a research note, not an open agent demo.
