What problem does it solve? When creating a video, creators often don't know which production steps to run or in what order—story first or captions first, when to add B-roll, when to run quality checks. This Skill acts as the single director entry point that answers "which chain and in what sequence" for any video creation intent, then routes each stage to the correct specialized sub-skill. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Content-Type Mode Routing: Maps six content types (talking-head, knowledge explainer, drama/short-drama, storyboard-driven story video, viral remix, product seeding) to recommended stage chains such as a-roll → b-roll → editing → captions. - 14 Sub-Skill Index: Provides an authoritative index of stage sub-skills (story, shot, motion, a-roll, b-roll, editing, captions, hooks, remix, platform, sound, generation-prompt, qc, short-drama), each answering exactly one decision question and loaded on demand via references. - Process Discipline & QC Gates: Enforces structure-before-polish ordering, per-stage user confirmation, and three quality gates (pre-generation, pre-render, pre-delivery) with F-code failure diagnosis before any stage may proceed. - Use Case: A user says "turn this viral video into my own short." The Skill routes to the remix → hooks → editing chain, loads each stage's decision rules on demand, and blocks progression until each stage passes its QC gate. ## Quick Start Describe your video idea, reference video, or content type and ask the director skill to plan the production chain and stage order for it.
