Why fork this?

Most "AI feed" repos either lock the recommender weights, or hide the ranking signals behind an API. ShortFlix is the opposite: the curator agent's prompt, the embedding pipeline, and the open Curator Training Data v0.1 — 14,200 anonymized taste-vectors donated by 312 users under CC-BY-SA-4.0 — are all in this repo. Fork it, replace the persona, replace the platforms, ship a new curator under your own brand.

git clone https://github.com/shortflix/curator-agent
cd curator-agent
make dev               # 4 agents on docker · ADK + Gemini stub + MCP fakes
make deploy            # gcloud run deploy · uses your GCP project
sf curate --user demo  # prints 9 picks, with per-pick "why" receipt

Open governance

Decisions in public. RFCs in /rfcs; merged via 2-of-3 maintainer review.
Code of conduct + DCO sign-off on every PR. No CLA gate.
Maintainers rotate. 3-seat rotation every 6 months; minutes published.
Curator Training Data is public. Donations are opt-in; users can revoke any time via DELETE /v1/me.
Forks are first-class. Top forks are listed on the project site; we accept upstream contributions back from any fork that keeps Apache-2.0 + DCO.

What this proves to the judges

Tech 30% — fully working stack, public CI, reproducible make deploy.
Business 30% — community-owned moats: training data network effect, fork-friendly licensing, Pro tier funds maintainers.
Innovation 20% — agent prompts & weights are public artifacts, not trade secrets; rare for a multi-agent recommender.
Demo 20% — the demo opens with git clone on the judge's laptop, ends with a deployed Cloud Run URL.
