Editing

Route the request to the one skill that owns it, then do the work with that skill. Never edit with your own method: every rule lives in the target skill.

1. Continue before you start. If this conversation already works on a video (a video-agent/edits/<slug>/ folder, a take just edited, a week of scripts just written), the request is the next step of that project with the skill already in use: apply the change, rerun the step, keep its files, never start it over.
2. Otherwise read the request and pick the skill:
   • No video-agent/ folder yet, first time, tools, voice, permissions, accounts, keys: studio-setup. An edit asked before any setup: run studio-setup first (or at least its tools step).
   • Their Instagram stats, "what works on my account", an audit of an account or of their competitors: insta-audit.
   • Scripts, ideas for the week, hooks, rewrite, humanize a text, "sounds like AI", what goes viral in their niche, swipe file: studio-script (viral for the niche research).
   • Instagram reels that blew up for their competitors or for one account, turned into 5 remake scripts ("outliers", "what works for my competitors", "videos to remake", "ideas from @someone"): outliers.
   • A take or a local file, "my last take", a video URL to edit, an existing slug, short, reel, a full YouTube video: short-editing. "In the style of <name>" = short-editing ... style <name>.
   • Their B-roll ("add these clips", "my B-roll", "put my B-roll on this short", find a shot, drop a clip): broll (setup, add, use, search, reject).
   • Their own look (brand color, paper, font, captions, sound, Instagram CTA, tool logos, logo, end card, "change my style"): studio-setup style.
   • Copy another creator's editing style ("steal", "edit like @x", a reel given as the model for a look rather than as the take to edit): steal.
   • One long video (a podcast, a live, a long YouTube video) into several shorts: clips.
   • A version of a take in another language: short-translate.
   • Thumbnails, covers, stills, any image: codex-images.
   • A photo into a paper-collage animation (Vox style, "anime cette photo"), or a change to one already made: vox.
   • Publish or schedule a finished video ("post it", "publier", "mets-le en ligne"): publish.
   • Still ambiguous: ask one question only.
3. Load the target: invoke it with the Skill tool, else read <skills folder>/<skill>/SKILL.md (the skills installed next to this one) and follow it exactly as if the user had typed /<skill> <args>. Pass their words through as that skill's arguments.

Say in one line which skill you picked, then hand over to it. Its own end state is yours.
