What problem does it solve? AI video generation often happens ad hoc: prompts go straight to a paid API with no rights checks, no budget control, and no quality review. This Skill replaces that with a controlled ten-stage pipeline covering briefing, rights preflight, prompting, provider selection, generation, QC, post-production, and web integration. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Staged production pipeline: Routes work through need assessment, brief, rights preflight, creative development, prompt engineering, provider routing, generation, QC, post-production, integration, and closeout, with dedicated sub-skills per stage. - Budget and rights gates: Blocks any paid generation call unless provider, model, candidate count, cost, source rights, and commercial terms are all approved, and requires human approval before publishing. - Standardized artifacts: Defines a workspace layout (brief.md, rights-check.md, generation-manifest.json, candidates/, review/, delivery/) plus YAML contracts for briefs, provider decisions, manifests, reviews, and closeout. - Use Case: A team needs a looping hero video for a homepage. The Skill assesses whether motion adds value, clears asset rights, selects an approved provider within budget, generates candidates, rejects outputs with flicker or text artifacts, and delivers optimized web-ready variants with reduced-motion fallbacks. ## Quick Start Use the media-production-orchestrator skill to plan and produce a short looping hero video for my homepage, including rights checks, provider selection, quality review, and web integration.
