Workflow steps

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

1. 1Research and write the voiceover. 150–165 words is about 60 seconds. Write it
2. 2create_script {name}.
3. 3edit_script {script_id, ops} — {"op": "add_speaker", "name": "Narrator"}, then
4. 4Give the narrator a voice: find_model (text_to_speech) →
5. 5derive_storyboard_from_script {script_id, provider, model} — one shot per line, in
6. 6Rewrite the visuals. The derived shots are a starting point. Go through with
7. 7Stills on every shot, reviewed, before any clip.
8. 8voice_script_lines {script_id} — defaults to every draft or stale line. Word
9. 9Clips, then assemble_storyboard_timeline, then validate_timeline.
10. 10Duck the pictures' own sound. Assembly gives every shot clip an audio twin on a

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 515bd28. 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

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

  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

Script Video loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 594 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~39

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.3k

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

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Direct a NodeTool video whose timing follows written voiceover, such as an explainer or narrated b-roll. For on-camera creators, use ugc-video.

Research [TOPIC], then direct a faceless 16:9 explainer. No on-camera talent.

Write the voiceover first, 150-165 words, one sentence per line, as a script:
create_script, then edit_script to add a Narrator speaker and the lines. Give
the narrator a voice with set_speaker_voice before anything else.

Then derive_storyboard_from_script with a director pass, and rewrite each of the
eight shots' action and motion as concrete b-roll to that voiceover.
Board style: [flat 2D / documentary macro / dark UI / paper-craft], no on-screen
type.

Stills on every shot before any clip. Then voice_script_lines so the shots take
their length from the takes, then clips, then assemble_storyboard_timeline and
validate_timeline. Finish by muting the Shot Audio clips under the voiceover.

Stop after the script and the board. Show me the words before you spend.
