## Description

Make a video for your startup with Pexo. Describe your company, product, or vision (or paste your site) and Pexo writes the script, generates the shots, picks the models, and returns a finished, publish-ready startup video with music, for your homepage, fundraising deck, or social channels. Use for startup brand and intro videos: "startup video", "video for my startup", "company intro video", "about us video". NOT for paid ad campaigns (use the video-ad skill).

# Startup Video, Pexo

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

Make a finished brand or intro video for your startup. You relay the founder's brief, or your
website, to the hosted Pexo agent and deliver the result; Pexo writes the script, generates the
shots, and assembles a polished startup 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.
