## What it does

This skill produces an ESPN-themed broadcast cutaway set during a fictional Yankees vs Red Sox ALCS Game 3 at Fenway Park. It calls `gpt-image-2` to render a still image of premium seats behind home plate with an on-screen scorebug and chyron bearing your name. Then, `kling-v3-omni` generates a 15-second video clip accompanied by two sports commentators discussing the viewer on air.

Cost control is built into the workflow. The skill runs `identity_balance` to check remaining credits and quotes an estimate between 3,000 and 5,500 credits (around $30–$55) for the media QA and renders. The pipeline halts completely until you explicitly reply `proceed`.

You only need to supply a username and a single front-facing portrait as a local path or web address. An automated `analyze_media` check screens the input image first, halting if it detects copyrighted characters like Batman or high moderation risk. Commentary voices are fixed to native Kling-omni male announcer tracks and ignore custom agent voice settings.

# baseball-trend

15-second ESPN-style broadcast cutaway of a user, sitting behind home plate at a fake Yankees vs Red Sox ALCS Game 3 game at Fenway Park, with two announcers naming them on air.

Fixed-recipe skill — the prompts below are calibrated. Substitute the username and keep the marked anchors intact.

## Cost transparency gate

Before any paid MCP call, call `identity_balance({verbose: true})` once. Surface the current balance, recent burn rate, and remaining runway, then gate the run with this exact message:

> Estimated cost: about 3,000-5,500 credits (~$30-$55) for the GPT-image-2 broadcast still, one or two Kling v3-omni pro 15s renders (includes one Step 2 corrective retry with a changed payload), and post-flight analyze_media QA. This exceeds $5, so Reply `proceed` to continue or `cancel` to stop.

Do not call any paid MCP tool until the user replies `proceed`. If the user replies `cancel`, stop without generating. This is the only yes/no gate; after `proceed`, the pipeline runs end-to-end.

## Voice selection note

This skill uses Kling-omni's native broadcast commentary: two male announcers, matching MLB broadcast convention. The `identity_voice` setting is NOT consumed because this fixed recipe does not use agent-side TTS or custom voice IDs.

If the user wants a female-coded announcer or any custom voice, baseball-trend is the wrong skill. Route them to `/pika:podcast` with a baseball framing, which has an agent-side voice path and can honor explicit voice choices.

## Stage 0 — Intake

If invoked with empty args and no usable prior context, print this menu and stop:

> **Who should appear in the fake MLB broadcast cutaway?** Required:
>
> - **Name** — exactly as it should appear in the chyron and announcer dialogue
> - **Reference photo** — one front-facing or 3/4 portrait, local path or HTTPS URL

If only one field is missing, ask only for that field. Otherwise ask the two questions below one at a time.
```
