description	Run the fastest safe Sume Avatar/Avatar Video iteration loop using async submits, batch state files, parallel polling, deferred downloads, and explicit quality/cost tradeoffs.

Sume Minimum Latency

Use this skill when the user wants the fastest useful Sume result while still respecting paid gates and avoiding duplicate jobs.

Rules

1. Run readiness only if local state is unknown:

   sume doctor --agent --json
   

2. Use schema discovery only for the write you are about to make:

   sume tools schema avatars.create --json
   sume tools schema avatar-videos.create --json
   

3. Prefer async submit plus watch/result over blocking waits.

4. For multiple independent candidates, draft a manifest and use batch plan/create/watch/result with a persistent state file.

5. Use stable idempotency keys. Reruns must skip already-created jobs.

6. Timeout is not terminal. If jobs watch returns non-terminal jobs, run a one-shot aggregate check with --timeout-seconds 0, then continue polling or ask whether to keep watching. Do not final-answer as complete until terminal result/resource readback exists or the user explicitly stops the workflow.

7. Do not download media unless local comparison is required or the user asks.

8. If the user prioritizes speed/cost, explicitly choose quality=standard; otherwise preserve the platform default quality.

Fast Avatar Video Loop

sume avatar-videos create \
  --avatar-handle <ready_avatar_handle> \
  --script "Short reviewed script." \
  --quality standard \
  --confirm-paid \
  --agent \
  --json

sume jobs watch <job_id> --agent --json
sume jobs result <job_id> --agent --json

For multiple jobs, use one aggregate watcher:

sume jobs watch --ids <job_id>,<job_id> --agent --json

If it times out, do not submit replacement paid jobs. Recheck with --timeout-seconds 0, keep polling, or ask whether to continue.

Report

Report job id, resource id, requested quality, wall-clock time if measured, queue/run state, captured/refunded cost when available, and sanitized result availability. Report non-terminal jobs as still in progress, not complete. Do not paste full media URLs.

Not For

Do not use this skill for broad quality exploration or side-by-side evaluation; use sume-quality-experiment. Do not use it to bypass spend caps, paid approval, idempotency, or state files.
