Trial reels

Paths: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} means the folder containing this SKILL.md, and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} the plugin folder two levels above it.

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/PRINCIPLES.md first: the rules every video in this plugin follows (asking, looking real, motion, story and framing, privacy, cost).

Every question to the user goes in the question box: call the AskUserQuestion tool (2-4 options, the recommended one first). Only in an agent without that tool, ask numbered questions in text.

L="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/ai_editor", C="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/cut/scripts", S="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/style-edit/scripts", EDIT the approved reel's folder (edits/<name>). Run the scripts with python3 on Mac and Linux, py on Windows.

A trial reel tests a new opening on people who do not follow the user. Same take, same story, a different first 3 seconds and a different look. Instagram shows it to non-followers first and passes it to followers only if it does well (or when the user says, with manual graduation).

1. The source

The take, never the posted file: a posted reel has its captions and title burned in.
