What problem does it solve? Setting up the Kinema film-production pipeline involves many moving parts—ffmpeg, Python interpreters, optional pip extras, API keys, MySQL, object storage, and audio libraries—and a single misconfigured piece silently breaks downstream rendering. This Skill walks through every configuration decision, verifies each one with a re-runnable command, and diagnoses environment failures without ever performing content production. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six-Node Guided Setup: Covers system dependencies (ffmpeg/ffprobe, Python 3.10+), engine pip extras, local vs MySQL storage, local vs OSS media backends, cloud API keys, and the CC0 BGM/SFX audio library—each node ends with a verification command. - Non-Interactive Diagnostics: Uses python3 -m kinema setup --check and doctor to report readiness without hanging on interactive prompts, plus a troubleshooting table mapping symptoms (missing PyYAML, sine-wave BGM, orphan ffmpeg processes) to fixes. - Strict Safety Discipline: Never installs system packages or database servers itself, never echoes secret values, and prefers environment variables over editing committed config files. - Use Case: A user clones the Kinema repository on a new machine and asks the agent to get it ready; the Skill detects the platform, gives exact install commands for the user to run, verifies each stage, and finishes with a mock end-to-end render plus a readiness summary table. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to check and configure my Kinema environment so it can pass setup --check and run a mock render.
