What problem does it solve? Short-form video generation pipelines often produce scripts with weak hooks, generic captions, and inconsistent storyboards that fail to retain viewers. This Skill encodes every creative constraint governing SwarmXQ video output so that tone routing, virality scoring, caption generation, and storyboard prompts stay consistent and enforceable across the video-orchestrator.ts pipeline. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Script Section Contracts: Defines non-negotiable rules for [HOOK] (≤18 words, no preamble openers), [BODY] (stakes escalation with [VISUAL:] tags), [RESOLUTION] (action frame), and [CTA] (5–8 specific words). - TONE_RULES Governance: Maintains the tone variant map (contrarian, urgent, educational, cinematic, warm, minimal, faceless_broll, kinetic_text) with prompt modifiers, colors, and archetypes. - Virality Scoring Contract: Specifies the ViralitySignal interface, the weighted formula (hookStrength×0.35 + completionProxy×0.25 + shareability×0.25 + seoScore×0.15), and scoring rubric anchors. - Caption & Storyboard Gates: Enforces CAPTION_RULES (firstLine ≤40 chars, 3–5 hashtags, platform character caps) and storyboard scene counts, per-scene line format, and comfyPrompt standards. - Use Case: When adding a new tone variant to VideoJobRequest.tone, use this Skill to update TONE_RULES, TONE_BACKGROUNDS, and TONE_ACCENTS in the correct order without breaking the pipeline. ## Quick Start Load this skill alongside swarmxq-video-pipeline-architect and ask the AI to review or modify the hook generation prompt in video-orchestrator.ts so it enforces the 18-word limit and HOOK_BLOCKLIST.
