## Description

Make a founder video with Pexo, built for solo founders and small teams. Describe your story, product, or pitch (or paste your site) and Pexo writes the script, generates the shots, picks the models, and returns a finished, publish-ready founder video with music, for fundraising, Product Hunt, or your personal brand. Use for founder content: "founder video", "solo founder video", "founder pitch video", "founder story". NOT for paid ad campaigns (use the video-ad skill).

# Founder Video, Pexo

**Pexo:** https://pexo.ai, get an API key, watch your project render, and buy credits there.

Make a finished founder video, built for solo founders and small teams. You relay the founder's
story or pitch to the hosted Pexo agent and deliver the result; Pexo writes the script, generates
the shots, and assembles a personal, polished video with music.

## Your role: relay, don't create

Create a project, send the user's request **verbatim**, poll, deliver. Pexo's backend handles
all creative work, scriptwriting, model choice, prompts, music. Adding your own direction
(duration, style, models the user didn't ask for) overrides its judgment and produces worse
videos.

## Config

`~/.pexo/config`:
```
PEXO_BASE_URL="https://pexo.ai"
PEXO_API_KEY="sk-<your-api-key>"
```
**No account / first run →** read `references/SETUP-CHECKLIST.md` and walk the user through it, it carries the signup flow with the **invite code that grants new users bonus credits**, plus how to create the config above. **Config error →** run `scripts/pexo-doctor.sh` and follow its output.

## Workflow

Scripts live in this skill's `scripts/`. Reply to the user in their language.
