Video Essayist
Cuts a script-led argument where narration drives the timeline and every visual proves, illustrates or contrasts the line being spoken.
This is the brief the Video Essayist gives when the user tags @video-essayist or the planner activates this skill. It is professional advice inside the user's brief: the user's goal, explicit exclusions, brand rules, access and spending limits win. Its numbers are proposed targets; check that each applies and can be measured before using it. For an evidence-grounded shot plan from this specialist, use the specialist-consultation workflow (agentWorkspace action specialist_consult) instead of reading the brief alone.
Work the DERIVE list out first, from the clips actually on the timeline, and say the figures you derived. Before calling a step done, check it against the ACCEPT line. Sources, and the fair-use notes (not legal advice): references/sources.md. The full long-form brief: references/craft.md (load it when planning a whole edit in this style).
