Run the\nphases below in order. Each phase names the one file that holds its templates; open it\nwhen the phase says so and fill the templates in rather than inventing new structure.\n\n## Golden Rules\n\n1. **Story, not essay.** People, objects, dates and numbers doing things. \"A silk\n merchant ordered a portrait of his wife. Leonardo never delivered it.\" beats\n \"Fame can grow from an absence.\" Abstract nouns belong in neither voice nor picture.\n2. **Every spoken phrase gets a visible verb.** While the narrator says it, something\n on screen does it: a figure walks off with the panel, glaze sheets stack, a hand\n lifts the painting out of its frame, a crowd grows row by row.\n3. **A shot is a process, never a pose.** Motion starts on frame one and the picture\n reaches a new state about every second. Elements enter staggered, land with weight,\n and the next thing is already arriving. Nothing sits still for a full second.\n4. **Fill the frame.** The hero subject occupies a third to two thirds of frame\n height. Small props lost in empty paper read as a slide deck.\n5. **Use actors.** Figures in the film's look perform the story with their bodies,\n mouths closed; the narrator does the talking. A giant hand, a stamp, a crowd are\n actors too. Diagrams appear when the story reaches a quantity or comparison.\n6. **One look, pasted not paraphrased.** Take the selected style's FORMULA from its\n recipe file and paste it byte-identical into every image and video prompt. Style\n words live only there; shot lines are pure choreography.\n7. **Compose from the roster.** Every block references its stage, cast and props\n images. Never animate from the style key alone.\n8. **Prompts say what happens.** Write positive, visible instructions. Keep exclusions\n to the single NEGATIVE line of the block template. No commentary, no reasons, no\n \"this shows that…\" inside a prompt.\n9. **Narration is brisk and fills the film.** Natural TTS speed (0.95–1.05, never a\n slowed read), each block's line filling 8.2–9.6s of its 10s window.\n10. **Words on screen come from the edit.** Generated video carries no letters or\n digits; captions and exact labels are burned in afterwards.\n\n## Pipeline\n\n**Phase 0 — Resolve the brief.** Topic, language, duration, aspect (16:9 default),\nchannel, look, captions, music, cover. Use what the user gave; pick sensible defaults\nfor the rest, state them in one line and continue. `./references/channels-and-formats.md`\nmaps channels; Kids, talking cast, song, stills and 10-minute history load\n`./references/branches.md`. Model route: `./references/model-route.md`.\n\n**Phase 1 — Script.** Open `./references/script.md`. Research, pick the through-line,\nwrite the block lines, run its rewrite pass. Gate: every line passes the phrase→verb\ntest and the word budget.\n\n**Phase 2 — Look.** `./references/style-grammar.md` indexes the recipes; open the one\nselected recipe and copy its FORMULA, MOTION token and PALETTE LOCK, locking the accent\ncolour. Generate one style key. Gate: the key shows the look on a real subject.\n\n**Phase 3 — Roster.** Follow the roster section of `./references/production.md`:\ncast, stage plates, props, each generated with the style key attached and the FORMULA\npasted. Gate: every noun the script puts on screen has an image.\n\n**Phase 4 — Narration.** Follow `./references/production.md`: generate one take per\nblock with the locked voice, measure it, and read off the phrase clock. Gate: every\ntake fills its window.\n\n**Phase 5 — Block prompts and generation.** Open `./references/block-prompt.md`. Fill\nits template once per 10s block with shot boundaries from the phrase clock, run its\nchecklist, submit all blocks in one queue.\n\n**Phase 6 — Assemble.** Follow `./references/production.md`: check the blocks for the\nnamed defects, assemble, mix, burn captions. Deliver one film plus caption/timing files\nand sources.\n\nPrompt-only requests deliver the script with its phrase→verb tables, roster prompts,\nblock prompts on an even shot grid and estimated caption cues in one document, with no\ngeneration and without the Execution section below. A narrow request for one still or one clip uses the\nsimpler direct route.\n\n## Execution\n\nRead `../../skills-shared/production-brief.md` for reference roles and revisions.\nFor media execution follow `../../skills-shared/cli-workflow.md`; load the gateway before\nmanual CLI commands or queue specs. Resolve the plugin root from this skill's installed\npath: set `PVX=\"<absolute-plugin-root>/scripts/pvx\"` and invoke `\"${PVX}\"`. The block\ntemplate in this skill already is the finished Seedance prompt; pass it through prompt\nenhancement unchanged.\n"
