Skill: Roughcut

Plans a cut with the user, then builds the timeline and exports it for their editor.

1. Plan the Cut

If a plan path was passed in as a skill argument (libraries/[library-name]/plans/plan_[short-name]_[timestamp].md) and that file already exists, skip to step 2 — the plan is already approved.

Otherwise, read skills/roughcut/planning.md and run that flow with the user. It covers verifying clip coverage, asking for a script or paper edit, picking a length, proposing concepts, fleshing out beats, getting explicit approval, and saving the plan markdown.

Only proceed past step 1 once a plan file exists at libraries/[library-name]/plans/plan_[short-name]_[timestamp].md.

2. Determine the Editing Application (Parent Only)

The sub-agent receives a final editor application value:

1. If library.yaml has editor set, use it.
2. Otherwise fall back to libraries/settings.yaml's editor and write the value back to library.yaml.
3. If neither has one, ask the user (Final Cut Pro X / Adobe Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve), then save the choice to both library.yaml and libraries/settings.yaml.

3. Decide: Build Directly or Launch Sub-Agent
