description: Turn a research brief, finished script, or generated MP4 into a reviewed and verified vertical explainer video. Use when an agent should choose the simplest current production strategy, preserve strict final-artifact quality gates, run the deterministic Remotion fallback, diagnose the local toolchain, or verify an existing MP4 before any manual publication step.

# Video Explainer

Version note: v0.3.0-rc.1 / 2026-09-27 / Make production strategy adaptive while keeping the deterministic Remotion recipe as a strict fallback. Final-artifact acceptance is strategy-independent and bound to the exact MP4 bytes. Keep upload, account access, credentials, private voice assets, hosted rendering, and publication out of scope.

Produce a local video and evidence packet. Never upload or publish from this skill.

## Core contract

This Skill separates **what must be true of the final artifact** from **how the artifact is produced**.

Before forcing an existing recipe, run a capability challenge:

1. Can the current model or available capability produce the final MP4 directly at the required quality?
2. Which requirements are real product, safety, brand, or evidence invariants?
3. Which existing steps only compensate for older model limitations?
4. Can intermediate stages be skipped without weakening final acceptance?
5. What is the simplest strategy likely to pass the final gates?
6. If that strategy fails, fall back to the deterministic repository-owned recipe.

Choose one execution strategy:

- `direct_artifact` — a current model/capability produces the final MP4 directly. Do not require `motion-storyboard.json`, `script.json`, TTS, alignment, or Remotion merely to satisfy a historical recipe.
- `agent_orchestrated` — an agent may choose and combine tools as implementation details. Intermediate artifacts are optional unless they are needed to satisfy the brief or evidence requirements.
- `legacy_remotion` — use the repository-owned deterministic path when direct generation cannot preserve facts, branding, layout control, narration identity, or other required qualities.

All three strategies converge on objective MP4 verification plus an independent final-artifact review. Production freedom never bypasses final acceptance.

## Install

The deterministic fallback orchestrates a local clone of `claude-video-kit`; it does not bundle the renderer. From the repository root, install the runtime and register the Skill with:

```bash
npm ci --prefix remotion
npx skills add runesleo/claude-video-kit --skill video-explainer
```

For repository development, run commands from the repository root.
