baseball-trend

15-second ESPN-style broadcast cutaway of a user, sitting behind home plate at a fake Yankees vs Red Sox ALCS Game 3 game at Fenway Park, with two announcers naming them on air.

Fixed-recipe skill — the prompts below are calibrated. Substitute the username and keep the marked anchors intact.

Cost transparency gate

Before any paid MCP call, call identity_balance({verbose: true}) once. Surface the current balance, recent burn rate, and remaining runway, then gate the run with this exact message:

Estimated cost: about 3,000-5,500 credits (~$30-$55) for the GPT-image-2 broadcast still, one or two Kling v3-omni pro 15s renders (includes one Step 2 corrective retry with a changed payload), and post-flight analyze_media QA. This exceeds $5, so Reply proceed to continue or cancel to stop.

Do not call any paid MCP tool until the user replies proceed. If the user replies cancel, stop without generating. This is the only yes/no gate; after proceed, the pipeline runs end-to-end.

Voice selection note

This skill uses Kling-omni's native broadcast commentary: two male announcers, matching MLB broadcast convention. The identity_voice setting is NOT consumed because this fixed recipe does not use agent-side TTS or custom voice IDs.

If the user wants a female-coded announcer or any custom voice, baseball-trend is the wrong skill. Route them to /pika:podcast with a baseball framing, which has an agent-side voice path and can honor explicit voice choices.
