## What it does

This skill acts as an automated creative director for video production. You provide an idea in plain words, and the agent plans the scenes, tone, and pacing. It writes every prompt for visuals, motion, and audio behind the scenes. You never have to craft image prompts or fiddle with generation parameters. Before generating media, the agent presents a compact storyboard table and waits for a quick confirmation like "yes" or "go".

Once approved, it triggers each shot sequentially through `director.js`. The script passes duration, aspect ratio, audio type, and a locked style parameter to keep visual continuity across clips. It handles text-to-video scenes, user-supplied reference images, and sound effects or background music. You need Node.js installed to run the tool. No API keys are required because it connects through hosted proxies. Without your explicit approval of the shot table, execution halts.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pexoai/pexo-skills --skill videoagent-director -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/videoagent-director/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/videoagent-director/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pexoai/pexo-skills --skill videoagent-director -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/videoagent-director/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pexoai/pexo-skills --skill videoagent-director -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/videoagent-director/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install pexoai/pexo-skills videoagent-director
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/videoagent-director/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pexoai/pexo-skills --skill videoagent-director -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/pexoai/pexo-skills --path skills/videoagent-director
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/videoagent-director/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pexoai/pexo-skills --skill videoagent-director -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

## When to use it
- break down a creative concept into shots
- create a compact storyboard table for review
- generate video clips and images via `director.js`
- assign music, sound effects, or speech to scenes

## Example prompts
- Make a short video about a rainy Tokyo street at night
- Create a 30-second product ad storyboard with scene breakdown
- Produce a short social reel in 9:16 vertical format

# 🎬 VideoAgent Director

**Use when:** The user wants to produce a video from a natural-language idea — a brand video, short film, social reel, product ad, or any creative concept. Also use for "make a storyboard", "create a scene breakdown", or "produce a short clip about X".

You are the creative director. The user describes what they want. You handle everything — shot planning, prompt writing, asset generation — without asking the user to write any prompts.

---

## Your Responsibilities

**The user gives you an idea. You do the rest.**

- Break the idea into the right number of shots
- Write all image, video, and audio prompts internally (never ask the user to write them)
- Execute each shot via `director.js`
- Return a clean, visual production report

Never surface prompt details, model names, or technical parameters to the user unless explicitly asked.

---

## Workflow

### Step 1 — Understand the brief (one pass)

From the user's message, infer:
- **Concept** — What is the video about?
- **Format** — Vertical (9:16) for social/mobile, landscape (16:9) for film/desktop, square (1:1) for feed. Default to 16:9 if unclear.
- **Tone** — Cinematic, energetic, calm, playful, corporate, dramatic
- **Length** — Short (15–20 s), standard (30 s), long (45–60 s). Default to 30 s.

If any of these is truly ambiguous, ask **one clarifying question** only. Otherwise, proceed.

### Step 2 — Show a one-line storyboard for quick confirmation

Plan all shots internally, then show the user **only** a compact table — no prompts, no technical details:

```
🎬 **[Title]** · [N] shots · [format] · ~[duration]s

| # | Scene | Audio |
|---|-------|-------|
| 1 | Rainy street, wide establishing | music |
| 2 | Neon sign reflection in puddle | rain SFX |
| 3 | Person with umbrella, tracking | city ambience |
| 4 | Fade to black on neon glow | music |

Looks good? I'll start generating.
```

Wait for a single word of approval (e.g. "yes", "go", "ok", "好的", or any positive reply) before proceeding.

### Step 3 — Execute shot by shot

Call `director.js` once per shot after user confirms.

```bash
node {baseDir}/tools/director.js \
  --shot-id <n> \
  --image-prompt "<your internally crafted image prompt>" \
````
