READMESKILL.md - Editing Decision Engine
# Editing Decision Engine ## Use When - Plan short-form post-edit decisions from A-roll, B-roll, scripts, and reference videos. Use this when the goal is not generic video analysis or rendering, but deciding how to cut a social video beat by beat, including where to stay on face, where to insert proof B-roll, how to use reference patterns, and how to package an actionable edit plan for a human editor or downstream timeline tooling. ## Do Not Use When - The task belongs to ideation, QA, or another released skill listed in the handoff section. - Required inputs are missing and guessing would change the result. ## Required Input - Explicit user brief or JSON input matching the artifact contract. ## Stop Conditions - Stop when required user intent, source evidence, or owned input artifacts are missing and guessing would change the result. - If an owned CLI or script command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local payload rewrites, fallback providers, or unpublished tools. ## Handoff - Return the structured output, hosted result, poll command, or explicit blocker. ## Public Command Boundary - Choose the smallest matching command or workflow from the user input and run it directly. - If an owned CLI or script command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local payload rewrites, fallback providers, or unpublished tools. - Use `postplus media schema --json` only when constructing or repairing an unknown request shape. - Hosted media capability: `postplus media capability --request <hosted-capability-request.json> --output <result.json>`. - Use the capability request shape required by the selected workflow; do not call provider APIs directly. - If the CLI returns a quote-confirmation challenge, run `postplus quote confirm --json --challenge-file <challenge.json>` and retry with the returned token.
