## What it does

The skill turns a story into beats, then outlines each shot with its duration, action, visual anchor, and relationship to adjacent shots. It helps choose a generation route, inspect endpoint schemas and pricing, upload references, and run jobs through `genmedia`.

Long jobs can run asynchronously, with results downloaded to a path template. The agent should return a shot table with endpoints, request IDs, and local file paths. `genmedia` downloads clips; it does not replace an editing timeline unless the selected model returns a finished stitched video. Plan for a separate editing step when it does not.

## When to use it
- break a video concept into narrative shots
- prepare prompts for connected scenes
- choose a video generation route for a sequence
- upload references and track generated files

## Example prompts
- Plan a shot sequence for a short product story and prepare the `genmedia` runs.
- Turn this outline into scenes that transition from the opening frame to the closing frame, with reference assets.
- Plan a narrated sequence and record the generated clips in a shot table.
