RedBox Video Director

What it does

RedBox Video Director is a planning and orchestration skill for producing short videos with the RedBox official video API. It guides an agent through a disciplined pre-production workflow: clarifying mode (text-to-video, reference-guided, or first-last-frame), drafting a shot-by-shot script as a Markdown table, deciding whether to create a video project pack, and gating generation behind user confirmation. The skill encodes hard rules about model mappings and safe defaults for shot durations and continuity-sensitive workflows.

When to use it

Use this skill when a user asks to generate short motion clips or multi-shot videos that need stable continuity, reference image handling, or explicit storyboard/keyframe steps. Triggers include requests for 'generate a short video', 'create a storyboard', 'image-to-video transition', or 'first/last frame animation'. It is especially valuable when user-provided reference images or voice references require structured handling.

What's included

• Scripts: none in the SKILL.md package (has_scripts=false).
• References: none included.
• Instructions: detailed procedural guidance on pre-generation script format (Markdown table), storyboard-first rules, environment/subject anchors for consistent keyframe generation, and exact tool usage patterns (app_cli commands and model mappings).

Compatible agents

Best suited for agents integrated with RedBox-style video toolchains and CLIs that can call app_cli/video generation endpoints (e.g., Claude Code, Codex-like agents or custom CLI-driven agents).
