SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Managing an AI video production project involves many ordered steps—creating the project, generating assets, storyboards, narration, and video clips—and it is easy to lose track of what to do next or accidentally re-run paid generation tasks. This Skill routes every request through the ArcReel workflow plan so each project advances correctly, with billing-sensitive actions confirmed before execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan-driven routing: Calls get_workflow_plan and executes only the action specified by next_action, keeping project state consistent with the ArcReel MCP server as the single source of truth.
  • Generation batch polling: Tracks batch_id values and polls get_generation_batch until completion, with bounded retry limits for long-running tasks.
  • Safety and confirmation gates: Requires explicit user consent before destructive or billed actions, and never regenerates stale or paid artifacts without approval.
  • Use Case: A user asks to continue their short-drama video project; the Skill fetches the plan, finds the next step is storyboard generation, confirms the billed action, launches the batch, polls until done, and reports the updated next step.

Quick Start

Continue my ArcReel video project and tell me what the next step is, then run it after I confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions about video-workflow

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I continue an ArcReel video project to the next step?

Ask to continue the project and the Skill calls get_workflow_plan to read next_action, then executes only that action with the plan's arguments. Actions requiring confirmation or billing are explained first and wait for your explicit approval.

How do I check video project progress without changing anything?

Ask for a progress check and the Skill reports the plan's steps, problems, and next_action without modifying the project. It distinguishes workflow step status, task status, vendor submission checkpoints, and artifact status.

Does the ArcReel MCP workflow export the final video?

No, the remote MCP workflow does not compose or export final videos. When next_action is export, the Skill hands off to the WebUI or embedded host, which handles final rendering and export.

What happens when a video generation batch takes a long time?

The Skill keeps the batch_id and polls get_generation_batch at each returned poll_after_seconds interval until done is true. If a plan returns wait_for_task, it re-polls up to max_poll_attempts, then reports the running task_ids and stops.

Will stale or missing artifacts be regenerated automatically?

No, stale artifacts remain usable and are never regenerated or deleted automatically. Regeneration of current or stale artifacts happens only when you explicitly select those IDs, protecting paid generation history.

When should I not use this video workflow skill?

Do not use it for editing a single existing artifact in isolation; it is designed for end-to-end project orchestration. It also cannot repair project data directly when remote tools lack that capability.
