SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Coordinating a multi-scene video production across different rendering tools, voiceover APIs, and editing steps is error-prone when done ad hoc. This Skill wraps any video request in a structured kanban pipeline that decomposes the work across specialized agent profiles with a shared workspace. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Adaptive Discovery & Briefing: Asks targeted intake questions per video style (narrative, marketing, music video, explainer, ASCII, installation) and produces a structured brief.md that acts as the production contract. - Team Design & Setup Generation: Composes 4-7 role profiles (director, writer, renderers, editor, reviewer) from an archetype library, then generates a setup.sh that creates Hermes profiles, writes SOUL.md files, patches profile configs, and fires the initial kanban task. - Monitoring & Intervention: Polls the kanban for stuck tasks, missing heartbeats, and retries, with documented recipes for re-renders, dependency rewiring, and brief pivots. - Use Case: A user requests a 30-second product teaser with terminal demo scenes and voiceover. The Skill scopes the brief, designs a team with motion-graphics and ASCII renderers, bootstraps the workspace, and monitors the kanban until final.mp4 passes review. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to plan and run a kanban video production pipeline for your video idea, starting with its length, aspect ratio, and target platform.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a multi-agent video production pipeline?▼

Start with discovery: state what the video is, its duration, and aspect ratio. The Skill produces a brief, designs a team of agent profiles, generates a setup.sh via bootstrap_pipeline.py, and fires the initial kanban task to the director profile.

What rendering tools can a video pipeline team use?▼

Renderer profiles load skills like ascii-video, manim-video, p5js, comfyui, touchdesigner-mcp, or pixel-art depending on scene style. External tools such as ffmpeg, Remotion, Blender, ElevenLabs, and Runway are invoked from the terminal toolset.

When should I not use a kanban video pipeline?▼

Skip it for one-shot conversions like mp4-to-GIF (use ffmpeg directly), static images or audio-only artifacts (use the matching specific skill), or single-tool projects that one existing skill handles cleanly, such as a pure ASCII video.

Why do kanban video tasks fail or get stuck?▼

Common causes are missing API keys in the Hermes .env, tenant mismatches, profiles not running, or tasks exceeding max_runtime. Use monitor.py or hermes kanban show to inspect heartbeats and failure events before re-running.

Does the pipeline require API keys for voiceover and image generation?▼

Yes. External services like ElevenLabs, Runway, Kling, and FAL need keys in the Hermes .env or macOS Keychain. The setup script's check_key helper verifies each required key and aborts before firing the kanban if any are missing.
