name	plotloom-asset-selection
description	Reviews Plotloom image/video candidates and decides accept, reroll, revise_prompt, or ask_user before copying to `selected.*`. Use when the user asks to review a candidate, choose the best version, accept/reroll, check character consistency, evaluate model artifacts, or copy a candidate to `selected.mp4` / `selected.png` with backup semantics.

Plotloom Asset Selection

When to Use

Use when image or video candidates exist under candidates/ and the next step is accept, reroll, prompt revision, or deterministic selected-copy.

Inputs

• Prompt intent and rerun notes.
• Candidate image/video path; process video one candidate at a time.
• Selection rubric and optional review note template.

Outputs

• Candidate review note or recommendation.
• If accepted, deterministic helper copies candidate to selected.*.

Read These Resources When...

• Read references/selection-rubric.md before evaluating candidates.
• Use templates/review-note.md for review output.
• Use plotloom --repo <repo> select <candidate> only after accept decision.

Workflow

1. Evaluate candidate against intent, character consistency, visual continuity, short-drama clarity, hook strength, ending handoff, and artifacts.
2. Choose one decision: accept, reroll, revise_prompt, or ask_user.
3. Ask the user when quality is ambiguous or trade-offs are subjective.
4. If accepted, run or instruct plotloom --repo <repo> select <candidate> to copy the candidate to selected.*.
5. Preserve candidates/vNNN.*.
6. If replacing a selected file, back up old selected as selected-prev-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-ffffff.*.
7. For video, process one candidate at a time.

Decision Rules

• accept: intent matches, identity stable, artifacts minor, ending frame works.
• reroll: prompt is right, but sample has random artifacts or weak rendering.
• revise_prompt: candidate repeatedly misses action, character, reference use, camera, or ending frame.
• ask_user: trade-off is taste-based or multiple versions are plausible.

Stop Conditions

Stop after selected copy or rerun recommendation. Do not delete candidates, generate new media, or silently choose ambiguous video.

Next Skill Handoff

After all required clips have selected.mp4, hand off to plotloom-stitch-deliver.

Failure Modes

• Candidate missing: report missing path.
• Ambiguous quality: ask user rather than choosing silently.
• Prompt mismatch: recommend revise prompt, not just reroll.
• Existing selected: use backup semantics before replacement.
