## Description

Use when the user asks to generate, remix, poll, list, download, or delete Sora videos via OpenAI\u2019s video API using the bundled CLI (`scripts/sora.py`), including requests like \u201cgenerate AI video,\u201d \u201cSora,\u201d \u201cvideo remix,\u201d \u201cdownload video/thumbnail/spritesheet,\u201d and batch video generation; requires `OPENAI_API_KEY` and Sora API access.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Sora Video Generation Skill

Creates or manages short video clips for the current project (product demos, marketing spots, cinematic shots, UI mocks). Defaults to `sora-2` and a structured prompt augmentation workflow, and prefers the bundled CLI for deterministic runs. Note: `$sora` is a skill tag in prompts, not a shell command.

## When to use
- Generate a new video clip from a prompt
- Remix an existing video by ID
- Poll status, list jobs, or download assets (video/thumbnail/spritesheet)
- Batch runs (many prompts or variants)

## Decision tree (create vs remix vs status/download vs batch)
- If the user has a **video id** and wants a change → **remix**
- If the user has a **video id** and wants status or assets → **status/poll/download**
- If the user needs many prompts/assets → **create-batch**
- If the user asks for two versions with a small change (same shot, different subject/detail) → **create** the base, then **remix** for the variation
- Otherwise → **create** (or **create-and-poll** if they need a ready asset in one step)
