name: video-creator description: Orchestrates end-to-end video generation through sequential workflow steps (audio, direction, assets, design, coding). Activates when user requests video creation from a script, wants to resume video generation, mentions "create video", "generate video", or "video workflow", requests running a specific step (audio, direction, assets, design, coding), asks to "create audio", "generate direction", "create assets", "generate design", or "code video components", or wants to resume a video. Manages workflow state tracking and parallel scene generation.

Video Creator Skill

Manages the complete video creation pipeline from script input to final video components.

Execution Modes

Determine which workflow to follow based on user input:

Mode 1: Execute Video Step

When: Immediately read when user wants to execute a specific workflow step (audio, direction, assets, design, or coding). Workflow: execute-video-step.md

Mode 2: Execute Regenerate Scenes Step

When: Immediately read when user wants to regenerate specific scenes for a step (design or coding) with scenes parameter. Workflow: execute-regen-scenes-step.md

Mode 3: Resume Video

When: Immediatly read when user wants to continue an existing video workflow from where it left off or check the status of an in-progress video Workflow: resume-video.md

Mode 4: Create Video

When: User wants to create a completely new video from scratch, starting with script input and style selection Workflow: create-video.md

Step References

Individual step implementations (referenced by execution modes):

• user-input-step.md - Gather script and video style
• audio-step.md - Generate audio from script
• direction-step.md - Create video direction
• assets-step.md - Generate SVG assets
• design-step.md - Generate design specifications
• code-step.md - Create video components
• regenerate-design-step.md - Regenerate design for specific scenes
• regenerate-code-step.md - Regenerate code for specific scenes

Utility Scripts

video-status.py: Manages workflow state and step progression

Available actions:

• create-video-status-file: Initialize new video workflow and return first step
• get-incomplete-step: Get current pending step
• complete-step: Mark step done and advance to next

Output Format:

All actions output a single line

list-topics.py: Get all topics with video workflows

Usage:

python .claude/skills/video-creator/scripts/list-topics.py

When user doesn't specify a topic, use this script to get all available topics, display them to the user, and ask them to specify which topic they want to work with
