# kiss-cam

Turns two reference photos into a fake in-arena Kiss Cam moment: a Jumbotron still plus a 15-second clip with announcer audio. Needs the pika MCP.

## What it does

The skill runs a two-call pipeline. First `generate_image_edit` on gpt-image-2 produces a spectator-POV frame where the scoreboard, retro Kiss Cam graphic and frame are baked into the image. Then `kling-v3-omni` renders a 15-second clip locked to that first frame, with crowd reaction and PA-announcer commentary. Whatever style the references use carries over — photoreal person, 3D toy, illustrated avatar. No names appear anywhere, since the graphic has no name chyron.

Before spending anything, the skill calls `identity_balance({verbose: true})` once and reports the estimate: roughly 1,500–3,500 credits, about $15–$35, covering one corrective retry. Paid tools stay untouched until the user answers `proceed`; `cancel` ends the run. That is the only yes/no gate — after it, the pipeline finishes on its own.

You need the pika MCP in the host and one photo per subject, either a local path or an HTTPS URL. A local file goes through `upload_asset` and then to `presigned_url`. Pasted inline images never reach MCP on Claude Desktop, so supply a URL or a `.zip` instead. A timer starts at skill launch: if `generate_image_edit` has not fired within 5 minutes, the run stops with `failed_pre_generation_timeout`. Long generations are polled with `task_status`, and a task still unfinished after 15 minutes gets cancelled.

## When to use it
- build a fake Kiss Cam moment from two photos
- get a spectator-POV Jumbotron frame
- render a 15-second clip with crowd reaction
- keep the subjects' original art style
- check credit balance before a paid render

## Example prompts
- Make me a kiss cam moment from `subject-a.png` and `subject-b.png`
- Kiss cam version of these two, keep the reference style
- Generate the Jumbotron kiss cam clip with announcer commentary

# kiss-cam

A two-call pika pipeline: spectator-POV Jumbotron still (`gpt-image-2`) → 15-second in-arena kiss cam clip with PA-announcer commentary and crowd reaction (`kling-v3-omni`, first-frame-locked to the still). The trend look is calibrated — pass both reference images straight through. There is no textual substitution into the prompts; the subjects are anchored only through `images`. Don't reach for `${subject_a}` / `${subject_b}` placeholders. Step 1 and Step 2 prompts are verbatim, not scaffolds.

## Prerequisites

pika MCP available in the host. Tool name prefix varies by mount point — use whatever the host exposes. Tools needed: identity balance, asset upload, image generation, reference-video generation, and async status follow-up when a generation does not complete inline.

## 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 1,500-3,500 credits (~$15-$35) for the GPT-image-2 Jumbotron 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.

## Pre-generation wall-clock guard
