Generation orchestration for approved ai_video storyboards: dispatch mode selection, scene generation via kling_generate (or Seedance, Kinovi or Veo when chosen), audio assembly, regenQueue processing. Load after storyboard approval.

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

# AI Video Generation

You are executing generation for an approved `ai_video` storyboard. The workflow file `workflows/ai_video.json` lists this as the `generate` step, following `ai-video-plan`. The storyboard — `scenes[]`, `imageRefs[]`, `styleAnchor` — was written by the planning skill; your job is to generate clips and audio from it.

This skill covers **Phase 6** (scene generation dispatch) and **Phase 7** (draft-phase regenQueue processing). For Phases 0-2 (story clarification, storyboard writes, review), see `skills/ai-video-plan/SKILL.md`.

## Sub-skills

| Name | Path | When to load |
|------|------|--------------|
| `eval-scenes` | `skills/eval-scenes/SKILL.md` | After generating scenes in Phase 6 — quality evaluation + retry loop |

---

## Status machine

```
pending → storyboard_ready → draft → final
```

| Transition | Writer | Precondition |
|------------|--------|--------------|
| `pending → storyboard_ready` | **ai-video-plan** (agent) | Phase 1 writes complete: imageRefs anchors+images filled, styleAnchor written, scenes[] populated. `tracks[0].items` still `[]`. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thesampadilla/montaj/ai-video-generate@sha256:067f62008f16d58e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.b7d88f3, 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.
