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.

Frequently Asked Questions about recut-director

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan the production order for an AI-generated video?▼

Start by identifying your content type, then follow the recommended chain: talking-head uses a-roll, b-roll, editing, captions; knowledge explainers use story, motion, editing, captions; drama uses story, script, short-drama, shot. Each stage loads its own sub-skill on demand.

What chain should I use to remake a viral video?▼

Viral remakes and long-to-short conversions follow the remix, hooks, editing chain. The remix stage reverse-engineers the source video's formula, hooks designs the 0-3 second opening, and editing assembles the final cut.

Can I reorder or skip stages in a video production chain?▼

Stages can be added or removed per task, such as skipping b-roll when no overlay is triggered, but the order cannot be reversed. For example, captions must never run before a-roll because structure changes invalidate downstream alignment.

How are quality gates enforced between video production stages?▼

Every stage must pass three QC gates before advancing: a pre-generation gate for definitions and continuity, a pre-render gate for shot selection and defect screening, and a pre-delivery gate for full review. Failures are diagnosed with F-codes and sent back.

What happens when a video type has no verified production mode?▼

The skill explicitly states that no dedicated chain or verified work exists for that type, such as music videos. It can co-define goals, inputs, and validation criteria with the user, but it never silently substitutes another mode's workflow.
