B-roll

B-roll = the images shown over the creator's voice: their own footage (street, desk at night, sunset, gym, phone in hand), screen recordings, photos. The library is read ONCE, then every edit finds "me at my desk at night" with one grep, without opening a single video.

<their clips folder>/            the files, never moved or edited
video-agent/broll/
├── library.json                 one entry per clip: file, length, orientation, date, GPS, tags, used in
├── library.md                   the same, one line per clip, newest first: what agents grep
├── sheets/<id>.jpg              6 frames of the clip in a 3x2 grid (what the taggers and you look at)
└── tags/batch-NN.json           what each Haiku tagger wrote

Talk to the creator in their language, short messages, no jargon ("ta bibliothèque de B-roll", never "JSON"). Run every command from the project folder (the one holding video-agent/). Preflight: ffmpeg -version && node -v; missing: /studio-setup tools.
