In short:
ak-videoasks which stage of a marketing video you are at (script, storyboard, real video, or another version of an existing video) and does only that stage. If you have approved work, it reuses it instead of starting over. It only reports done after checking the real file.

Summary
Use it when you need a marketing video: a script to approve, a storyboard, a rendered file, or a long video cut into clips for social media. Beat-synced motion graphics go to ak-motion-video.

H["Beat-synced motion graphic"] --> I["ak-motion-video"]Four concepts to know:
| Concept | Question | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Stage | Do you need a script, a storyboard, a real video, or another version of an existing video? | script-create produces script.md, storyboard-create produces storyboard.md and storyboard.json, create produces master.mp4 |
| Approved input | What do you already have approved? | Give create the path to script.md and it skips the script step; give it a storyboard and it skips the storyboard step too |
| Quality gate | Does each asset pass before moving on? | A voice-over with any score under 7 is regenerated; in create, each voice-over, music track and clip is regenerated at most 2 times |
| Real evidence | Was the video really rendered? | It measures duration, dimensions and audio and looks at a few frames of the file; no file means it does not report done |
Writing a script never calls a video generation API. Generating images, voice, music and video goes through the media generation tools you have installed and are allowed to use.
Sample prompt for writing a script:
/ak-video script-create reel "Introducing the voice notes feature of <app name>"
Goal: viewers download the app to try it.
Audience: office workers in lots of meetings who hate typing notes.
Length: about 30 seconds. CTA: download the app for free.This skill has no flags.
