Make Viral Video automates production of a short (30–60s) landscape news-explainer optimized for social shareability. It ingests a source URL, generates a focused narration script (one striking hook + supporting details + a closing share moment), fetches and validates visual assets, performs TTS narration (Gemini default, OpenAI fallback), and renders 1280×720 H.264 video with an ffprobe pre-publish gate. The pipeline includes a self-heal loop: failing assets trigger manifest regeneration rather than silent skips, and heavy validation prevents placeholder imagery from being published.
Use this skill when you need a fast, repeatable way to turn a single news item or URL into a short, attention-grabbing video suitable for social sharing or short-form distribution. Ideal for newsroom side projects, rapid explainers, or testing headline-driven video ideas where a single striking fact or image carries the piece.
Designed for agent toolchains that can call Python, ffmpeg, and TTS APIs (Gemini/OpenAI). Works well with Codex/GPT-style script generation and agents that can run local scripts and shell commands.
