What it does

Show And Tell Video Slate is an agent skill from ericosiu/ai-marketing-skills. Turn authorized current builds, workflows, dashboards, analytics, and completed work into proof-led founder videos, then rank and combine the strongest filmable artifacts into exact 15-minute long-form slates with strict title and thumbnail evaluation. Use when deciding what to film, creating show-and-tell business videos, combining thin topics into complete episodes, or requiring packaging concepts to clear explicit quality gates.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/output-contract.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Quality gates. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI marketing skills — growth experiments, sales pipeline, content ops, outbound, SEO, and finance automation. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Deciding what to film
  • Creating show-and-tell business videos
  • Combining thin topics into complete episodes
  • Requiring packaging concepts to clear explicit quality gates

Example prompts

  • “/show-and-tell-video-slate”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. money created;
  2. money saved;
  3. productive capacity created.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8088e1a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Show And Tell Video Slate loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 732 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Turn authorized current builds, workflows, dashboards, analytics, and completed work into proof-led founder videos, then rank and combine the strongest filmable artifacts into exact 15-minute long-form slates with strict title and thumbnail evaluation. Use when deciding what to film, creating show-and-tell business videos, combining thin topics into complete episodes, or requiring packaging concepts to clear explicit quality gates.

Show-and-Tell Video Slate

Turn real work into videos whose opening promise is repaid by a visible artifact, workflow, result, or before/after.

Preamble

From the repository root, run the privacy-preserving version check and telemetry initializer when available:

bash
python3 telemetry/version_check.py 2>/dev/null || true
python3 telemetry/telemetry_init.py 2>/dev/null || true

Remote telemetry is opt-in. Never log content, URLs, paths, credentials, names, business data, or proof artifacts.

Set the scope

State the authorized sources, owner, channel, viewer, runtime, deliverable, and stop condition. Keep source systems read-only. Never search unrelated accounts, repositories, conversations, or credentials.

Ask the user to rank these outcomes when not already known:

  1. money created;
  2. money saved;
  3. productive capacity created.

Load any supplied creator voice guide before writing titles or hooks. Reject packages that violate it even if their numeric scores pass.

Inventory filmable evidence

Inspect only supplied or authorized builds, repositories, demos, agent runs, dashboards, analytics, and workflow outputs. For every candidate record:

  • viewer and business outcome;
  • visible artifact and demonstration path;
  • claim status: achieved, estimate, anecdote, forecast, target, or plan;
  • proof pointer, freshness, and privacy limits;
  • mechanism, lesson, and viewer action;
  • missing pickup, capture, redaction, or validation.

Do not upgrade remembered results into verified evidence. Label provisional candidates.

Apply the show-and-tell gate

Read references/selection-rubric.md. Reject or repair a candidate unless:

  • the first 30 seconds can show a real outcome, build, screen, output, or physical artifact;
  • the demonstration explains or proves the package;
  • one promise can sustain 15 minutes without padding;
  • the viewer receives a usable mechanism or decision;
  • the ending resolves the opening promise completely.

Framework-only topics must use real case studies. Product walkthroughs must lead with the viewer outcome rather than a feature list.

Combine carefully

Combine ideas only when they share one mechanism, viewer, and payoff. Examples include sales and recruiting workflows that use the same outreach loop, multiple cost controls inside one audit system, or a demonstrated content result paired with the loop that produced it.

Do not combine unrelated proof points merely to reach the runtime. Route thin ideas to shorter formats.

Build an exact 15-minute spine

Use 900 seconds unless the user overrides it:

  1. 0:00-0:30 show the outcome and promise;
  2. 0:30-2:00 establish the stakes and baseline;
  3. 2:00-5:00 show what was built;
  4. 5:00-10:00 demonstrate how it works;
  5. 10:00-13:00 show receipts, limitations, and lessons;
  6. 13:00-15:00 give the implementation path and close the promise.
Show full SKILL.md (348 more words)Show less

Score and package

Use the nine episode lenses in references/selection-rubric.md. Require a 90+ average, with Demoability and Payoff Integrity each at least 90.

Create exactly three materially different packages:

  1. verdict or contrarian conclusion;
  2. specific proof or transformation;
  3. decision utility or implementation framework.

Require every package to score at least 9.0/10 with no dimension below 8.5. Use zero to four thumbnail words and no more than three major visual groups. Prefer the real artifact, result screen, dashboard, output, or physical prop over an abstract metaphor.

After the slate passes, use content-eval for deeper panel review, video-content-engine for the production plan, and shortform-idea-grill for complete short-form derivatives when those skills are installed. Use a compatible thumbnail-packaging skill when available. Keep achieved results distinct from plans and forecasts.

Validate

Read references/output-contract.md, save the structured slate as JSON, and run:

bash
python3 scripts/evaluate_slate.py slate.json --output slate-eval.json
python3 scripts/evaluate_slate.py slate.json --validate-only

The validator checks runtime, artifact evidence, claim proof, episode scores, packaging lanes, thumbnail word count, component budget, and package score floors.

Deliver

Return the ranked slate, combination decisions, exact run of show, first-30-second promise, proof and pickup ledger, three packages per episode, evaluation readback, winning package, and shoot order.

Separate ready from repair. A strong package never overrides missing proof. Do not render, publish, schedule, upload, or change a live asset without explicit approval.

Lifecycle

  • Tracked state: keep run evidence, slate JSON, evaluation reports, and decisions in a user-selected private runtime folder, not in the skill.
  • Success test: at least one episode passes the episode and show-and-tell gates, every surfaced package passes deterministic validation, and every achieved claim has a proof pointer.
  • Repeat trigger: run when choosing a recording slate, after a meaningful build ships, or when new first-party results arrive. Do not schedule by default.
  • Learning writeback: store user corrections, failed proof checks, and post-publication performance evidence in the private runtime folder.
  • Promotion: validate after one real build produces a passing slate and a complete recording. Treat as production-ready after three useful slates and at least two measured content readbacks.
  • Retirement: archive if three consecutive runs add no differentiated ready episode or another workflow absorbs the complete process.
