Remotion + Veed video builder. Turn a topic/brief into a finished short-form video: research + script it, build and render the composition in Remotion, then add an AI avatar, captions and polish in Veed and export the final video for review.

• Step 1

  Research the topic and gather the angle, key facts, hook ideas, and visual direction for the video from the brief and public sources.

  Uses verified skill: research-a-topic
• Step 2

  Write the short-form video script scene-by-scene: hook, beats, on-screen caption text, and the voiceover/avatar narration, with a shot list and timing per scene.

  Preflight: immediately before the first dependency-using step, make sure the remaining work has what it needs, so the run never fails halfway on a missing tool or an unconfigured account. Command-line tools (free, auto-install only if missing; idempotent, later runs find them present): Remotion - npx remotion versions (auto-fetches), or `npm i remotion` in the project. Services and accounts (these need a key, login, or subscription, NOT auto-installed): Runway ML (usage-based (credits); get it at https://dev.runwayml.com; alternative: Seedance (via HeyGen)). Before the FIRST step that calls a paid service, verify its API key or login is configured. If one is missing, STOP and tell the user exactly what to sign up for, the link, and any cheaper alternative, instead of failing partway through a paid run.

  Generate or gather b-roll clips and visual assets for the scenes (Runway API if available, otherwise Veed's stock library or the provided local assets).

  Generate or extend videos with Runway through RunAPI. Use the RunAPI CLI for one-off results and an SDK when integrating Runway into an app, backend, worker, library, or production codebase.

  • No integration? Pull clips from Veed's stock media library
  • No integration? Use the local source_assets the user provided
  • No integration? Skip b-roll and rely on Remotion motion graphics
• Step 5

  Author the Remotion composition from the script and shot list — code the scenes, text animations, transitions, timing, and aspect ratio as a React/TSX Remotion project.

  • No integration? Run `npx remotion render` from the project directory and collect the output MP4
• Step 7

  Finish the video in Veed: import the base render, add the AI avatar/talking-head presenter, auto-generate captions/subtitles, apply polish (background, voice, eye-contact), and export the final video in the chosen aspect ratio.

• Step 8decision

  Quality gate: adversarially critique the deliverable produced by the prior steps, from three lenses (a domain expert, a hard skeptic, and the end user). Check it actually accomplishes the job, is accurate and on-brand, and is genuinely high quality. Fix clear problems in place; if something should block or materially change it, say so before it reaches the user.

  Decision step
• Step 9decision

  Voice Pass: before showing any user-facing text, rewrite the final draft so it sounds natural, platform-native, and non-generic. Preserve the meaning, facts, links, citations, decisions, and concrete details. Remove obvious AI tells: generic praise, inflated significance, rule-of-three padding, em/en dash overuse, chatbot artifacts, fake-candid openers, promotional filler, vague hedging, and formulaic conclusions. Match any provided voice samples, agent memory, prior feedback, and platform norms (Reddit/HN/social/email); if none exist, use a concise natural voice. Do not add unsupported claims. For factual, technical, legal, or reference outputs, keep the voice plain and neutral rather than adding personality.

  Decision step
• Step 10decision

  Present the final video, script, and captions for human review and approval before it is published or delivered.
