description: Use when the user wants their dog, cat or other animal animated from a photo ('make my dog do a happy dance from this photo'). Turns the pet photo into a 5-second video clip.

Boopreel turns a photo of a pet or other animal into a 5-second video clip: the same animal, from the user's own photo, moving in one of Boopreel's effects (for example a happy dance, a boop on the nose or the zoomies). The clip plays in the card in the chat and can be saved as an MP4 from the clip's own page. This skill covers making a clip, checking it, trying another effect and deleting clips. The user's own instructions come first.

## Inputs

- **A new clip** (`make_pet_clip`): the photo the user attached in the chat (`photo`), what the animal is as seen in the photo (`pet`, for example "corgi puppy" or "orange tabby cat") and its kind (`pet_kind`). Optional: the effect id (`effect`, for example happy-dance, boop or zoomies; this week's new effect when omitted) and the pet's name if the user said it (`pet_name`).
- **Another effect on the same photo**: the earlier clip's id in `from_clip_id` instead of `photo`, so the photo isn't attached again.
- **Another take** of the same photo and effect: `new_take` set to true.

## Flow

1. `make_pet_clip` starts the clip and returns at once with `clip` (its `clip_id`, `status`, `effect_name` and, once ready, `watch_url`) and `clips_left_today`. The card shows progress and plays the clip when it's ready: about a minute, or a few minutes when the video machine has to start first. One call per request is enough.
2. `get_pet_clip` returns a clip's `status` and, once it is ready, its `watch_url`, the page where the clip is saved or shared.
3. `list_effects` returns `this_week` and the current `effects`, each with its `name`, `blurb` and whether it `is_new`. It makes nothing and uses up nothing.
4. `list_my_clips` returns the user's recent `clips` from the last 30 days, and `delete_pet_clips` deletes one clip (`clip_id`) or all of them (`all`), with their photos and pages.

## Scope

- Animals only. A photo of a person, or of a pet with a person's face in view, is refused; a person far from the pet is cropped out. Boopreel never animates people.
- Each person can make up to 3 clips a day. A refused photo or a failed clip doesn't count.
- Clips are AI-generated, carry a small "Boopreel · AI" mark and are deleted after 30 days.
- Boopreel makes videos only. Drawing, editing or restyling a still picture is outside it.

name: pet-video-effects
description: Use when the user asks which pet video effects there are, what is new this week, or wants another effect on a photo they already used ('what's this week's new effect?', 'now make it do the zoomies'). Lists Boopreel's effects and remakes a clip in another one.

Boopreel animates a pet photo in one of its effects, such as a happy dance, a boop on the nose or the zoomies, and a new effect arrives every Monday. The user's own instructions come first.

## Flow

1. `list_effects` returns `this_week` and the current `effects`, each with its `name`, `blurb` and whether it `is_new`. It makes nothing and uses up nothing.
2. For another effect on a photo already used, `make_pet_clip` takes the earlier clip's id in `from_clip_id` and the new `effect`, so the photo is not attached again. `new_take` set to true makes another take of the same photo and effect.
3. The card shows progress and plays the new clip when it is ready, usually in about a minute.

## Scope

- Animals only; a photo with a person's face in view is refused.
- Each new clip counts toward the 3 clips a person can make each day; a refused photo or a failed clip does not.

description: Use when the user wants to find, check, save or delete the pet clips they made ('show my pet clips', 'is my clip ready?', 'delete my Boopreel clips'). Lists recent clips, their status and pages, and deletes them.

Boopreel keeps each person's clips for 30 days. Each ready clip has its own page, where the MP4 is saved or shared to TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. The user's own instructions come first.

## Flow

1. `list_my_clips` returns the user's recent `clips` from the last 30 days.
2. `get_pet_clip` returns one clip's `status` and, once it is ready, its `watch_url`, the page where the clip is saved or shared.
3. `delete_pet_clips` deletes one clip (`clip_id`) or all of them (`all`), with their photos and pages, when the user asks.

## Scope

- Clips are AI-generated, carry a small "Boopreel · AI" mark and are deleted after 30 days.
