Flow

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS. A start image → image-to-video.
2. Settings (ask, or defaults):
   • Model: default 2.6-t2v. Use 3.0 for the best quality / 4K / multi-shot; 2.1-pro-i2v for first→last-frame control.
   • Duration: 5 or 10s (Kling 3.0: 3–15s). The script snaps to allowed values.
   • Aspect ratio: 16:9 (default), 9:16, 1:1.
   • Audio: --audio for native sound (2.6 / 3.0).
   • 3.0 quality mode: --mode std|pro|4K (default pro).
   • 2.1 tuning: --cfg-scale 0.5 and --negative-prompt "...".
3. Craft the prompt (≤1000 chars for 2.6, ≤5000 for 2.1). Show before generating.
4. Generate:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/kie-kling-video/generate.py "<prompt>" \
  --model 2.6-t2v --duration 5 --aspect-ratio 16:9 [--audio] \
  [--image <url-or-path>] [--last-frame <url-or-path>] \
  [--mode pro] [--cfg-scale 0.5] [--negative-prompt "..."] \
  --slug <slug>

5. Present: output → ~/videos/kling/<date>-<slug>/. Offer a longer clip, different model, or audio.

Notes

• Kling is a strong, cost-effective image-to-video workhorse — good default for animating a still.
• Local input images are auto-uploaded.
• Default 9:16 for Shorts/Reels/TikTok.
