Turn a topic / research brief / script into a 9:16 vertical reel: 1-4 shots + matched music + ffmpeg-stitched final.mp4 with optional burned-in captions; film mode makes a voiced film — ElevenLabs take, Seedance lip-sync to a character photo, cuts only in speech pauses, beats pinned to word timings; drama mode makes episodes of dialogue films with a recurring cast, scenes voiced by Seedance in the series' language and the speech checked by transcription. Use when: 'make a reel about X', 'short…

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

<objective>
End-to-end reel generator. Input: topic OR research brief OR pre-written script. Output: a single MP4 file with stitched video shots + background music + optional captions, plus the individual components (shots, music, script) for reuse.

This skill orchestrates:
1. `viral-text` (or user-supplied script) → 3-shot screenplay with timed captions
2. `video-prompt --execute` → N video shots via the chosen provider (Veo 3.1 / Sora 2 / Kling 3.0 / Runway Gen-4)
3. `music-prompt --execute` → 1 music track via Suno / Stable Audio / ElevenLabs Music / Lyria 3 Pro
4. `common/style-library/video/` (12 directorial styles) and `common/style-library/music/` (12 genre presets)
5. ffmpeg → concat shots, mix music, burn captions

Use when the user wants a finished reel, not just video prompts. Without `--execute`, returns assembled prompts; with `--execute`, generates the MP4.

**Film mode** is the voiced variant: an ElevenLabs take, a character who lip-syncs to it via Seedance 2.x, and a dramatic arc whose events land on the words. It has its own five-phase pipeline — see [FILM MODE](#film-mode) below.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mikefluff/skills/reel-builder@sha256:74054bafd0db2ee5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.b073c59, 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.
