Ran the real pipeline end to end in a throwaway VIDEO_PRODUCTION_ROOT: init_video_job.py created the job/manifest/symlink exactly as documented, synth_kokoro.py --check failed cleanly with the documented install-fallback message (Kokoro not installed), and the ffmpeg mux + ffprobe verify + archive_video.py steps all worked verbatim from the SKILL.md commands, copying the final MP4 into both exports/ and a dated backups/ folder.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Video Production does
Drives an end-to-end narrated video workflow -- research/source extraction, per-segment narration script, Kokoro (or other) TTS, Manim/ffmpeg visuals synced to voiceover timing, QC frame checks, and archival backups -- inside a durable per-job workspace with a manifest.json. Triggers when the user asks to make, create, generate, render, or produce a video, explainer, paper walkthrough, product demo, or narrated presentation.
