Reel editor

Turns a raw talking-head clip into a finished, on-brand vertical reel. Every brand choice (colours, fonts, caption style, sounds, CTA) comes from the person's brand file, never from defaults baked into this skill. You do the editing; they only make the calls that are theirs.

Before anything else: is there a brand file?

The workspace is ~/reels/ unless REELS_HOME is set.

  • No ~/reels/brand.md → run the setup interview in references/setup-interview.md first. Do not edit a clip without a brand file, even if they say "just use whatever". The interview takes 5 minutes and it is the whole point of this skill.
  • Brand file exists → read brand.md and brand.json in full, then continue.

Check the tools (once per machine)

bash scripts/doctor.sh - checks ffmpeg, Node, the HyperFrames skills and (if the brand file says CapCut) the CapCut connector. Fix anything it flags before editing. Install steps are in the repo README.

The edit, in order

Each reel gets its own folder: ~/reels/<yyyy-mm-dd>-<short-name>/. Copy the raw clip in (never edit the original).
