feat: Add Meta Threads platform support with factory pattern architecture

## Summary
Implements multi-platform support for VideoMakerBot, starting with Meta Threads as a new content source alongside Reddit. Uses a platform-agnostic factory pattern to route content fetching and screenshot capture.

## Changes

### New Files
- platforms/__init__.py: Factory dispatch for platform selection
- platforms/threads/__init__.py: Threads package marker
- platforms/threads/fetcher.py: Threads Graph API integration
- platforms/threads/screenshot.py: Playwright-based Threads screenshotter
- CLAUDE.md: Comprehensive development guide
- AGENT.md: Guidelines for AI agents working on the codebase

### Modified Files
- main.py: Updated to use platform factory instead of direct Reddit imports
- utils/.config.template.toml: Added [settings].platform, [settings].post_lang, [threads.*] sections
- utils/videos.py: Added check_done_by_id() function, guarded praw import with TYPE_CHECKING
- reddit/subreddit.py: Added thread_category field to content dict
- TTS/engine_wrapper.py: Fixed post_lang to use fallback chain
- video_creation/final_video.py: Fixed post_lang fallback + thread_category-based output naming
- requirements.txt: Fixed yt-dlp version to 2025.10.14

## Architecture
- Platform-agnostic data contract: content_object dict with standard keys
- Factory pattern in platforms/__init__.py routes to correct fetcher/screenshotter
- All platforms return same dict shape for seamless pipeline integration
- Minimal changes to existing Reddit code; purely additive design

## Testing
- Reddit mode tested and verified to maintain backward compatibility
- Threads mode functional with Graph API and Playwright screenshot capture
- Both platforms route output to platform-specific folders (results/{subreddit}/ vs results/threads/)

## Future
Adding X/Twitter or other platforms requires only:
1. New platform module (fetcher + screenshot)
2. Config section in .config.template.toml
3. Two elif branches in platforms/__init__.py

# AGENT.md — Guidance for Agents & AI Working on VideoMakerBot
This document guides **agents, bots, and AI assistants** on how to work effectively with the VideoMakerBot codebase.
---
## Quick Start for Agents
### Core Principle
**VideoMakerBot uses a platform-agnostic factory pattern.** Always respect the abstraction:
- Don't import platform-specific modules (reddit/, threads/) directly
- Always use `platforms/__init__.py` factory functions
- Keep platform-specific logic in `platforms/{platform}/`
### The "Do This" Checklist
1. ✅ Read existing CLAUDE.md for architecture context
2. ✅ Use factory: `from platforms import get_content_object, get_screenshot_fn`
3. ✅ Return standard `content_object` dict from all fetchers
4. ✅ Test both Reddit and Threads modes before declaring completion
5. ✅ Use config fallback chains for cross-platform keys
6. ✅ Document platform-specific logic in docstrings
### The "Don't Do This" List
1. ❌ Import `reddit.subreddit` directly in main.py or generic modules
2. ❌ Hardcode subreddit/platform names in core video pipeline
3. ❌ Add platform-specific selectors outside `platforms/{platform}/`
4. ❌ Assume config keys exist without `.get()` and fallbacks
5. ❌ Modify screenshot_downloader.py for non-Reddit platforms
---
## Understanding the Codebase Structure
### Entry Point
**`main.py`** — Single CLI entry point using platform factory
- Calls `get_content_object(POST_ID)` from factory
- Calls `get_screenshot_fn()` from factory
- Everything else is platform-agnostic
### Platform Layer (`platforms/`)
- **`__init__.py`** — Factory dispatch functions (add new platforms here)
- **`threads/fetcher.py`** — Threads Graph API client (returns standard dict)
- **`threads/screenshot.py`** — Threads.net Playwright screenshotter
### Legacy Platform (`reddit/`)
- **`subreddit.py`** — PRAW API client (returns standard dict)
- No changes needed; called via factory
### Video Pipeline (`video_creation/`)
- **`final_video.py`** — FFmpeg composition (platform-aware output folder only)
- **`screenshot_downloader.py`** — Reddit Playwright screenshotter (not called for Threads)
- **`voices.py`** — TTS orchestration (platform-agnostic)
- **`background.py`** — Video/audio download (platform-agnostic)
### TTS Layer (`TTS/`)
- **`engine_wrapper.py`** — Provider abstraction (handles `post_lang` fallback)
- **`*.py`** — Individual provider implementations (elevenlabs, aws_polly, etc.)
### Config & Utils (`utils/`)
- **`settings.py`** — TOML config loading & validation
- **`videos.py`** — Dedup tracking (`check_done()` + `check_done_by_id()`)
- **`.config.template.toml`** — Config schema with `[settings]`, `[reddit.*]`, `[threads.*]`, `[ai]`
---
## How to Approach Common Tasks
### Adding a New Social Platform (e.g., X/Twitter)
**Steps:**
1. Create `platforms/twitter/fetcher.py`:
```python
def get_twitter_content(POST_ID=None) -> dict:
"""Fetch post + replies, return standard content_object."""
# Implement API fetching logic here
return {
"thread_id": ...,
"thread_category": "twitter", # NEW: generic field for output folder
"thread_title": ...,
"thread_url": ...,
"comments": [...]
}
```
2. Create `platforms/twitter/screenshot.py`:
```python
def get_screenshots_of_twitter_posts(content_object: dict, screenshot_num: int):
"""Use Playwright to screenshot X/Twitter posts."""
# Implement Playwright logic here
```
3. Update `platforms/__init__.py`:
```python
elif platform == "twitter":
from platforms.twitter.fetcher import get_twitter_content
return get_twitter_content(POST_ID)
```
4. Add config section to `utils/.config.template.toml`:
```toml
[twitter.creds]
api_key = { ... }
api_secret = { ... }
[twitter.thread]
post_id = { ... }
```
5. Update `main.py` helper:
```python
elif platform == "twitter":
return config.get("twitter", {}).get("thread", {}).get("post_id", "")
```
6. **Zero changes needed to:** TTS, backgrounds, video composition, utils.
**Verification:**
```bash
# Test Reddit (regression check)
sed -i 's/platform = "twitter"/platform = "reddit"/' config.toml
python3 main.py
# Verify results/{subreddit}/ output
# Test Twitter
sed -i 's/platform = "reddit"/platform = "twitter"/' config.toml
python3 main.py --post-id <twitter-id>
# Verify results/twitter/ output
```
---
### Modifying the Video Pipeline
**Scenario:** You need to change FFmpeg composition or add a new processing step.
**Approach:**
1. Check which data the modified code consumes (`content_object` dict)
2. Verify it works with both Reddit and Threads content structures
3. If platform-specific: move logic to `platforms/{platform}/`
4. If generic: keep in `video_creation/`
5. Test both modes before merging
**Example:** Adding video filters
```python
# In final_video.py (generic, works for all platforms)
def apply_filter(video_clip, filter_type):
# No platform-specific logic here
return video_clip.filter(...)
# Test:
# - Reddit mode produces filtered video
# - Threads mode produces filtered video
```
---
### Fixing a Bug in Config Handling
**Scenario:** `post_lang` is not being applied correctly.
**Debug Path:**
1. Check `utils/settings.py` — how is config loaded?
2. Check `TTS/engine_wrapper.py:182` — uses fallback chain:
```python
lang = (settings.config["settings"].get("post_lang") or
settings.config.get("reddit", {}).get("thread", {}).get("post_lang", ""))
```
3. Check `video_creation/final_video.py:78` — same fallback logic
4. If still broken: verify `utils/.config.template.toml` has the key defined
5. Test both platforms with `post_lang = "es"` in config
---
### Adding Support for a New TTS Provider
**Scenario:** User wants Whisper TTS support.
**Steps:**
1. Create `TTS/whisper_tts.py`:
```python
class WhisperTTS:
def make_voice(self, text):
# Call Whisper API
return audio_bytes
```
2. Update `TTS/engine_wrapper.py:make_voice()`:
```python
elif voice_choice == "whisper":
from TTS.whisper_tts import WhisperTTS
return WhisperTTS().make_voice(text)
```
3. Add config to `utils/.config.template.toml`:
```toml
[settings.tts]
whisper_api_key = { optional = true, ... }
```
4. Test:
```bash
# In config.toml:
voice_choice = "whisper"
# Run: python3 main.py
```
---
## Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
### Pitfall 1: Platform-Specific Code in Generic Modules
**Problem:**
```python
# BAD: In video_creation/final_video.py
subreddit = settings.config["reddit"]["thread"]["subreddit"]
```
**Will break** when platform = "threads" (no reddit.thread.subreddit).
**Solution:**
```python
# GOOD:
platform = settings.config["settings"].get("platform", "reddit")
if platform == "reddit":
category = settings.config["reddit"]["thread"]["subreddit"]
else:
category = reddit_obj.get("thread_category", platform)
```
### Pitfall 2: Hardcoding Selectors in Platform-Agnostic Code
**Problem:**
```python
# BAD: In video_creation/voices.py
element = page.locator("#t1_{comment_id}") # Reddit-only selector!
```
**Will fail** when running Threads mode (different DOM).
**Solution:**
- Keep all Playwright logic in `platforms/{platform}/screenshot.py`
- Never hardcode selectors in generic modules
### Pitfall 3: Forgetting to Test Both Modes
**Problem:** You change `final_video.py`, test with Reddit, declare done.
Threads mode breaks because you didn't test it.
**Solution:**
```bash
# Test both before committing:
sed -i 's/platform = "threads"/platform = "reddit"/' config.toml
python3 main.py
# Check results/{subreddit}/
sed -i 's/platform = "reddit"/platform = "threads"/' config.toml
python3 main.py --post-id <id>
# Check results/threads/
```
### Pitfall 4: Assuming Config Keys Exist
**Problem:**
```python
# BAD:
lang = settings.config["reddit"]["thread"]["post_lang"]
```
**Will crash** if key doesn't exist.
**Solution:**
```python
# GOOD:
lang = (settings.config["settings"].get("post_lang") or
settings.config.get("reddit", {}).get("thread", {}).get("post_lang", ""))
```

## Code Review Checklist for Agents
Before marking work complete, verify:
- [ ] **No platform imports in main.py** — Uses factory only
- [ ] **Standard content_object dict** — All fetchers return same shape
- [ ] **Platform-specific logic isolated** — Only in `platforms/{platform}/`
- [ ] **Config fallback chains** — No hardcoded section names in generic code
- [ ] **Both modes tested** — Reddit AND Threads produce correct output
- [ ] **Docstrings updated** — New functions document platform assumptions
- [ ] **Error messages clear** — Include platform name + actionable guidance
- [ ] **Video dedup works** — No duplicate videos created
---
## Understanding Data Flow
### Happy Path: Fetch → TTS → Screenshot → Compose → Output
```
1. main.py:main()
└─→ platforms/__init__.py:get_content_object()
└─→ platforms/threads/fetcher.py:get_threads_content()
└─→ Returns: {thread_id, thread_title, comments, ...}
2. video_creation/voices.py:save_text_to_mp3()
└─→ TTS/engine_wrapper.py:process_text()
└─→ TTS/engine_wrapper.py:make_voice()
└─→ TTS/{provider}.py: {elevenlabs,tiktok,etc}
└─→ Returns: audio_length, comment_count
3. platforms/__init__.py:get_screenshot_fn()
└─→ platforms/threads/screenshot.py:get_screenshots_of_threads_posts()
└─→ Uses Playwright on threads.net
└─→ Saves: assets/temp/{thread_id}/png/{title,comment_0,etc}.png
4. video_creation/background.py
└─→ download_background_video() & download_background_audio()
└─→ Uses yt-dlp to fetch YouTube videos/audio
└─→ Saves to: assets/temp/{thread_id}/{video,audio}
5. video_creation/final_video.py:make_final_video()
└─→ Uses FFmpeg to compose everything
└─→ Reads: audio files, screenshot PNGs, background video
└─→ Writes: results/{thread_category}/{filename}.mp4
6. utils/videos.py:save_data()
└─→ Records video in videos.json for dedup
```
### Config Flow
```
config.toml (user settings)
utils/settings.py:check_toml()
└─→ Validates against .config.template.toml schema
└─→ Returns: settings.config (dict)
Used by:
├─ main.py (platform selection)
├─ platforms/reddit/ (subreddit, etc.)
├─ platforms/threads/ (Graph API token, etc.)
├─ TTS/engine_wrapper.py (post_lang fallback)
├─ video_creation/ (theme, resolution, etc.)
└─ utils/videos.py (dedup behavior)
```
---
## Deployment Notes
### Python Version
- **Minimum:** 3.10
- **Tested:** 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
- **Reason:** F-strings, type hints, modern async patterns
### Critical Dependencies
- **reddit platform:** praw 7.8.1 (requires Reddit OAuth app)
- **threads platform:** requests (for Graph API calls)
- **screenshots:** playwright 1.49.1 (requires browser installation: `playwright install`)
- **video:** moviepy 2.2.1, ffmpeg-python 0.2.0 (requires FFmpeg system binary)
- **tts:** varies per provider (elevenlabs, aws_polly, openai, etc.)
### Versions That Caused Issues
- **yt-dlp==2026.3.17** — Doesn't exist (use 2025.10.14 or latest stable)
- **playwright without browser install** — Will crash on first screenshot
---
## When to Escalate
### Escalate to User if:
- User needs new platform support (only they know requirements)
- Config changes affect backward compatibility
- Performance optimization needed (only user knows acceptable limits)
- Security concern (token handling, credential storage, etc.)
### Safe to Implement as Agent:
- Bug fixes within existing architecture
- Adding new TTS providers
- Extending config options for existing platforms
- Performance optimizations (caching, parallelization)
- New filter/processing features that work platform-agnostically
- Documentation & refactoring
---
## Final Guidance
**Golden Rule:** The factory pattern is your friend. When in doubt, check if your change breaks the abstraction. If it does, rethink it.
**Test Obsessively:** Always run both Reddit and Threads modes. The codebase is designed for multi-platform support, and it's easy to break one platform while fixing another.
**Document Platform Assumptions:** If your code works differently for Reddit vs Threads, say so explicitly in docstrings and comments.
**Ask Yourself:** "Would this work for X/Twitter?" If no, it probably belongs in `platforms/threads/`, not in generic code.
Good luck, and happy contributing! 🎥

# CLAUDE.md — VideoMakerBot Development Guide
## Project Overview
**VideoMakerBot** — Automated short-form video creator from social media content.
**Status:** Production-ready, actively maintained (v3.4.0)
**Language:** Python 3.10+
**Platforms:** Reddit (original), Threads (NEW), X/Twitter (planned)
### Core Mission
Transforms social media threads (post + comments/replies) into complete short-form videos with:
- AI-generated speech (7+ TTS providers)
- UI screenshots (Playwright)
- Background video/audio overlays
- FFmpeg composition & output
---
## Architecture at a Glance
```
main.py (CLI)
↓ [platform factory]
├─→ reddit/subreddit.py [PRAW API]
└─→ platforms/threads/fetcher.py [Graph API]
↓ [standard data dict]
├─→ TTS/engine_wrapper.py [7+ providers]
├─→ screenshot_downloader.py (Reddit)
│ or platforms/threads/screenshot.py (Threads)
├─→ video_creation/background.py
└─→ video_creation/final_video.py [FFmpeg]
results/{category}/{video.mp4}
```
### Key Design: Platform Abstraction via Factory Pattern
**Why:** Single codebase supports multiple platforms without tight coupling.
**How:** `platforms/__init__.py` exports:
- `get_content_object(POST_ID=None)` — routes to right fetcher
- `get_screenshot_fn()` — routes to right screenshotter
**Result:** Adding X/Twitter requires only: new module + config section + two `elif` branches.
---
## Data Contract: The "content_object" Dict
All fetchers return this shape (defined in `platforms/__init__.py`):
```python
{
# Unique identifiers
"thread_id": str, # Used for temp folder: assets/temp/{id}/
"thread_category": str, # "reddit", "threads", etc. → output folder
# Content
"thread_title": str, # TTS as title + output filename
"thread_url": str, # Playwright navigates here for screenshot
"is_nsfw": bool, # Content filter flag
# Replies/Comments (mutually exclusive with thread_post)
"comments": [
{
"comment_body": str, # TTS per reply
"comment_url": str, # Playwright navigates here
"comment_id": str, # CSS selector ID or unique identifier
}
],
# OR Story mode:
"thread_post": str | list, # Long-form text (no comments)
}
```
**Why:** Loose coupling—TTS, backgrounds, and video composition don't need platform-specific logic.

## Configuration
**File:** `utils/.config.template.toml` (schema) → `config.toml` (user config)
### Platform Selection
```toml
[settings]
platform = "reddit" # or "threads"
post_lang = "es-cr" # Optional: translation language (all platforms)
```
### Reddit Config
```toml
[reddit.creds]
client_id = "..." # OAuth app
client_secret = "..."
username = "..."
password = "..."
2fa = true/false
[reddit.thread]
subreddit = "AskReddit"
post_id = "" # Leave blank for auto-pick
max_comment_length = 500
min_comment_length = 1
min_comments = 20
blocked_words = "..."
```
### Threads Config (NEW)
```toml
[threads.creds]
access_token = "EAABsbCS..." # Meta Graph API token (60-day expiry)
user_id = "12345678901234567"
username = "your_insta" # For Playwright login
password = "your_password"
[threads.thread]
post_id = "" # Leave blank for auto-pick
max_reply_length = 500
min_reply_length = 1
min_replies = 5
blocked_words = "..."
```
### Generic Settings
```toml
[settings]
theme = "dark"
resolution_w = 1080
resolution_h = 1920
storymode = false
times_to_run = 1
[settings.tts]
voice_choice = "tiktok" # or "elevenlabs", "awspolly", "googletranslate", etc.
random_voice = true
silence_duration = 0.3
[settings.background]
background_video = "minecraft"
background_audio = "lofi"
background_audio_volume = 0.15
```
---
## Development Guidelines
### ✅ DO:
1. **Use platform factory in main.py**
```python
from platforms import get_content_object, get_screenshot_fn
reddit_object = get_content_object(POST_ID)
screenshot_fn = get_screenshot_fn()
screenshot_fn(reddit_object, number_of_comments)
```
2. **Return standard content dict** from all fetchers
```python
return {
"thread_id": ...,
"thread_category": ..., # NEW: replaces hardcoded subreddit
"comments": [...]
}
```
3. **Use config fallback chains** for cross-platform keys
```python
lang = (settings.config["settings"].get("post_lang") or
settings.config.get("reddit", {}).get("thread", {}).get("post_lang", ""))
```
4. **Read thread_category from dict** instead of config
```python
# WRONG:
subreddit = settings.config["reddit"]["thread"]["subreddit"]
# RIGHT:
platform = settings.config["settings"].get("platform", "reddit")
if platform == "reddit":
subreddit = settings.config["reddit"]["thread"]["subreddit"]
else:
subreddit = reddit_obj.get("thread_category", platform)
```
5. **Test both platforms** after core pipeline changes
```bash
# Test Reddit (must not regress)
sed -i 's/platform = "threads"/platform = "reddit"/' config.toml
python3 main.py
# Test Threads
sed -i 's/platform = "reddit"/platform = "threads"/' config.toml
python3 main.py --post-id <threads-id>
```
### ❌ DON'T:
1. **Don't import platform modules directly** in main.py/utils
```python
# WRONG: from reddit.subreddit import get_subreddit_threads
# RIGHT: from platforms import get_content_object
```
2. **Don't hardcode platform names** in generic modules
```python
# WRONG in final_video.py:
subreddit = settings.config["reddit"]["thread"]["subreddit"]
# RIGHT:
subreddit = reddit_obj.get("thread_category", "unknown")
```
3. **Don't add platform-specific UI selectors** outside `platforms/{platform}/screenshot.py`
- Reddit selectors stay in `video_creation/screenshot_downloader.py`
- Threads selectors stay in `platforms/threads/screenshot.py`
4. **Don't assume config keys exist** without fallback
```python
# WRONG: lang = settings.config["reddit"]["thread"]["post_lang"]
# RIGHT: lang = settings.config.get("settings", {}).get("post_lang", "")
```
---
## Platform-Specific Knowledge
### Reddit
- **API:** PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper)
- **Auth:** OAuth app (client_id, secret) + username/password
- **Screenshot:** Playwright on reddit.com/new.reddit.com
- Login form: `input[name="username"]`, `input[name="password"]`
- Post selector: `[data-test-id="post-content"]`
- Comment selector: `#t1_{comment_id}`
- **NSFW:** `submission.over_18`
- **Output folder:** `results/{subreddit}/`
### Threads
- **API:** Meta Graph API (v18.0+)
- **Auth:** User access token (60-day lifetime) via https://developers.facebook.com/
- **Screenshot:** Playwright on threads.net
- Login form: `input[autocomplete="username"]`, `input[autocomplete="current-password"]`
- Post selector: `article` (universal, more stable than Reddit)
- Cookies saved to: `video_creation/data/cookie-threads.json`
- **NSFW:** API doesn't provide; always False
- **Output folder:** `results/threads/`
### Future: X/Twitter
Create: `platforms/twitter/fetcher.py` + `platforms/twitter/screenshot.py` + config section
Update: `platforms/__init__.py` with `elif platform == "twitter"` branches
---
## Extending the Project
### Adding a New TTS Provider
1. Create `TTS/my_provider.py` with a class implementing the TTS interface
2. Add config keys to `[settings.tts]` in `.config.template.toml`
3. Update `TTS/engine_wrapper.py` to call your provider
4. Test with `settings.config["settings"]["tts"]["voice_choice"] = "my_provider"`
### Adding a New Platform (e.g., X/Twitter)
1. **Create fetcher:** `platforms/twitter/fetcher.py`
- Implement `get_twitter_content(POST_ID=None)` returning standard dict
2. **Create screenshotter:** `platforms/twitter/screenshot.py`
- Implement `get_screenshots_of_twitter_posts(content_object, screenshot_num)`
3. **Update config:** Add `[twitter.creds]` and `[twitter.thread]` sections
4. **Update factory:** Add `elif platform == "twitter"` in `platforms/__init__.py`
5. **Update CLI helper:** Add case to `_get_platform_post_id()` in `main.py`
6. **Test:** Verify Reddit mode still works, test Twitter mode end-to-end
**Zero changes needed to:** TTS, backgrounds, video composition, or utils.

## Debugging Tips
### "No matching distribution found for yt-dlp==2026.3.17"
→ yt-dlp uses date versioning (YYYY.M.DD, no leading zeros). Use `2025.10.14` (latest stable).
### "Threads API: Invalid or expired access_token"
→ Meta tokens expire every 60 days. Refresh at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
### Playwright timeout on Threads screenshot
→ Login cookies corrupted or expired. Delete `video_creation/data/cookie-threads.json` to force fresh login next run.
### "No eligible Threads posts found"
→ Configure `[threads.thread].min_replies = 5` (or lower). Ensure your Threads account has public posts with replies.
### Video dedup not working
→ Check `video_creation/data/videos.json` is writable. Ensure `check_done_by_id()` is called before fetching content.
---
## Testing Checklist
- [ ] Reddit mode: `platform = "reddit"` produces video to `results/{subreddit}/`
- [ ] Threads mode: `platform = "threads"` produces video to `results/threads/`
- [ ] Video dedup: Running same post_id twice skips second run
- [ ] Translation: `post_lang = "es"` translates filenames
- [ ] TTS providers: Test with different voice_choice values
- [ ] Background selection: Custom background video/audio works
- [ ] Story mode: storymode=true only uses thread_post, not comments
- [ ] Error handling: Invalid credentials show clear messages

3. **"Why is my config not being read?"** → Check `utils/settings.py:check_toml()` and `.config.template.toml` schema
4. **"Why isn't my TTS provider being called?"** → Check `TTS/engine_wrapper.py:make_voice()` and config `voice_choice`
5. **"How do I debug the Playwright screenshot?"** → Uncomment `page.pause()` in screenshot downloader, run headful browser
Good luck! 🚀
