🐛 Problem Context

Issue: The export functionality in the blog-writer agent was not working correctly.

Technical Root Cause:

  • The social_media_writer sub-agent does NOT have access to the save_blog_post_to_file tool
  • Only the main interactive_blogger_agent has the export tool
  • When users completed the social media step, the social_media_writer would respond to save requests with "I can't save files directly"
  • The main agent was not properly listening for or handling export requests after the social media step
  • Users had no way to save their final blog post after completing the full workflow

What was happening:

  1. User completes: Plan → Write → Edit → Social Media
  2. User says: "save this file" or "export this"
  3. social_media_writer responds: "I can't save files directly" ❌
  4. Main agent never takes over the export request ❌
  5. User cannot save their blog post ❌

🔧 Solution Implemented

What I fixed:

  • Added Final Version Confirmation step after social media in the main agent
  • Export is now only available after user confirms final version
  • Main agent now properly handles export requests at the right time
  • Clean workflow: Social Media → Final Confirmation → Export

New Workflow:

  1. Social Media step completes
  2. Main agent asks: "Is this the final version, or would you like to make any changes?"
  3. If "final version" → Main agent asks: "Would you like me to save this blog post to a file?"
  4. If "changes" → Go back to editing step

Key Fix: The main agent now properly listens for and handles export requests at the appropriate time, rather than leaving it to the sub-agent that doesn't have the tool.

✅ Testing Results

  • Main agent now properly asks for final version confirmation
  • Export only available after final version confirmation
  • Main agent handles export requests correctly
  • Export functionality works as expected

The export functionality now works as intended! 🎉

Fixes #388

- Add CRITICAL EXPORT HANDLING instructions to main agent
- Main agent now properly intercepts and handles save requests
- Add proactive export offer after social media step
- Fix agent coordination issue where wrong agent responded to save requests
- Ensures main agent uses save_blog_post_to_file tool correctly
- Resolves user experience issue where export requests failed

Fixes: Export functionality not working due to agent coordination
Issue: Users couldn't save blog posts after completing workflow
- Add final version confirmation step after social media
- Export only available after user confirms final version
- Remove export availability from intermediate steps
- Add clear workflow: Social Media → Final Confirmation → Export
- Prevents premature export requests during editing process
- Ensures export happens only when user is ready to finalize

This fixes the export functionality by making it a proper finalization step
rather than an always-available option that could interrupt the workflow.
