# 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`).

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.

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.
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.
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.
