# Scope Validator

Helps users and contributors understand whether a feature belongs in:

- **OSS Core** → Submit a PR or feature request to [genfeedai/core](https://github.com/genfeedai/core)
- **Cloud SaaS** → Subscribe at [genfeed.ai/cloud](https://genfeed.ai/cloud)

## When This Activates

- User asks "should this be in core or cloud?"
- User wants to contribute a new node or feature
- User requests social publishing features
- User asks about RSS/Twitter/feed integration
- Feature request triage
- PR review for scope compliance

### Cloud-Only Providers (EXCLUDED from OSS)

| Provider | Reason |
|----------|--------|
| FAL.ai | Cloud-only provider |
| HuggingFace | Cloud-only provider |

**OSS Provider:** Replicate only

## Validation Rules

### Rule 1: Node Type Check

```
IF node.type IN [socialPublish, rssInput, tweetInput, tweetRemix]
THEN FAIL: "Node type '{node.type}' is Cloud-only. Use OSS alternatives or upgrade to Cloud."
```

### Rule 2: Provider Check

```
IF node.provider IN [fal, huggingface]
THEN FAIL: "Provider '{node.provider}' is Cloud-only. OSS only supports Replicate."
```

### Rule 3: Template Check

```
IF template contains Cloud-only nodes
THEN FAIL: "Template uses Cloud-only nodes. Remove: {cloud_nodes}"
```

### Rule 4: Feature Request Check

```
IF request mentions [publish, social, twitter, rss, feed, youtube upload]
THEN WARN: "Social publishing and feed features are Cloud-only."
```

## Validation Examples

### Valid OSS Workflow

```json
{
  "nodes": [
    { "type": "prompt" },
    { "type": "imageGen" },
    { "type": "videoGen" },
    { "type": "subtitle" },
    { "type": "output" }
  ]
}
```

✅ All nodes are within OSS scope.

### Invalid OSS Workflow

```json
{
  "nodes": [
    { "type": "rssInput" },
    { "type": "tweetRemix" },
    { "type": "socialPublish" }
  ]
}
```

❌ Contains Cloud-only nodes: `rssInput`, `tweetRemix`, `socialPublish`

## Response Templates

### When Cloud Feature Requested

```
The feature you're requesting ({feature}) is available in Genfeed Cloud.

OSS Core includes:
- 26 nodes for media generation and processing
- Replicate provider for AI models
- Visual workflow editor with queue-based execution
- Gallery asset management

For social publishing and content aggregation features,
consider upgrading to Genfeed Cloud: https://genfeed.ai/cloud
```

### When Suggesting Alternatives

```
Instead of {cloud_feature}, consider these OSS alternatives:

1. {alternative_1}
2. {alternative_2}

These achieve similar results within the OSS scope.
```

## Common Requests & Responses

### "Can I publish to YouTube?"

**Response:** Social publishing is Cloud-only. In OSS, use the `output` node to export your video, then manually upload to YouTube.

### "Can I fetch RSS feeds?"

**Response:** RSS/feed aggregation is Cloud-only. In OSS, use the `prompt` node with manually entered content, or the `template` node with predefined prompts.

### "Can I use FAL.ai models?"

**Response:** FAL.ai is Cloud-only. OSS uses Replicate provider. Check if the model you need is available on Replicate.

### "Can I remix tweets?"

**Response:** Tweet remix is Cloud-only. In OSS, use the `llm` node with a custom prompt to rewrite text in different tones.

## Integration

When validating:

1. **Parse the request** - Identify node types, providers, and features mentioned
2. **Check against scope** - Compare with OSS node list
3. **Report violations** - List all Cloud-only features found
4. **Suggest alternatives** - Provide OSS workarounds when possible
5. **Link to Cloud** - Mention upgrade path for full feature access
