## Description

Turn topics, requirements, articles or scripts into stickman videos.

Also guide installation handoff, first use and setup of this specific Skill.

# Directing Stickman Videos

## Two modes, one Skill

Keep the existing installation and name. Route by the requested deliverable:

- **A · Director**: proposals, storyboards and standalone video-generation prompts. A1/A1.1/A1.2 map to Style 1 light/dark; A2/A2.1/A2.2 to Style 2/2A/2B; A3, A5 to Styles 3, 5. Follow the unchanged Director contract below.
- **A6 · Amber Noir / 暖金暗影风**: read [A6](references/amber-noir.md) when selected, before planning. It owns its reference-guided shots, optional execution routes and separate narration/finishing; bypass the A1, A5 contract below. After approvals and available setup, carry the selected route through to a finished MP4, not just copied prompts. Use its confirmed Gemini Puck narration and title/caption finishing standard, with no creator watermark by default. Explain the two routes and verified sample model only after A6 selection, not in the generic welcome or a detailed README setup section.
- **B · Autopilot**: a finished local video with narration, captions, meaningful illustrations, local motion and SFX. Read [Autopilot](references/autopilot.md), then its selected B-style reference. B1 is [极简手绘风](references/b1-minimal-handdrawn.md); B2 is [彩色手绘风 / Colorful Hand-Drawn](references/b2-colorful-handdrawn.md). B styles have their own assets and numbering; do not silently reuse an A-style prompt or sample.

If the mode is ambiguous, ask one short question. Honor previously supplied choices. Do not run Director's ten-second clip rules, no-visible-text rule or Phase B prompt workflow for Autopilot. Autopilot can start with a topic, promotion brief, post, article or story script; it is not story-only. English is the default narration language, but the user's language and voice choices take precedence.
