Use whenever the user wants to start or run a VideoExpress project, asks for VideoExpress image, video or multishot prompts, asks the assistant to operate VideoExpress in a browser, or reports VideoExpress problems such as drifting characters or outfits, camera direction flips, stylised clips turning realistic, props changing shape, actions in the wrong place or order, dark scenes, text in footage, background hiss or unwanted music. Plans, scripts and produces multi-clip videos in VideoExpress…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# VideoExpress Scripting

Produce a production-ready **prompt pack**: a living document that maps a full piece (song, narration, story) onto a sequence of clips, each with a start-image plan and a paste-ready VE multishot prompt. Then support generation: diagnose reported failures, fix them globally, sweep every affected clip.

Two facts drive almost everything in this skill:

1. **The model renders nouns, not intentions.** Every noun, count, simile and stray token is a candidate to appear on screen.
2. **Each generation only knows what it is given.** A chained clip sees one still image (the previous clip's last frame) plus the prompt. It has no memory of the previous clip's motion, of anything that was out of frame, or of earlier prompts. Anything not visible in the opening frame or described in the prompt will be invented.

## Where to read next

Read only what the current step needs. Everything in `references/` is self-contained.

| When you are… | Read |
|---|---|
| Starting a new project, or the user has a concept or script | `references/project-intake.md` — the question system, feasibility check, development tests, brief and Core Bible sign-off |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ratava/videoexpress-scripting-skill/videoexpress-scripting@sha256:a1e8cdacfa34c9da

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.6.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
