Plan, build, and fix short-form videos like an editor, using hook-first structure, caption-aware visual design, Remotion/FFmpeg assembly, and reject-regenerate review loops instead of one-shot automation.

Platform Packaging

Use When

A rendered video, script, or approved draft needs publish-ready metadata for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, or X.
The agent needs to adapt one short to each relevant platform without changing the video itself.
The user wants upload guidance, not an automated publish action.

Core Approach

Read the actual script, transcript, review bundle, or rendered-video notes before writing packaging.
Choose platforms by fit: entertainment and native short-form for TikTok/Reels/Shorts, professional insight for LinkedIn, and concise discourse or launch framing for X.
Generate platform-specific metadata, not one reused caption pasted everywhere.
Keep titles, cover text, CTAs, and hashtags truthful to the video and avoid claims that were not supported by the source artifact.
Include disclosure and rights notes when AI generation, sponsorship, affiliate links, sensitive topics, medical/legal/financial content, or licensed media may need explicit handling.
Never auto-upload, schedule, post, or claim that publishing is complete; this skill prepares metadata and checks readiness for a human uploader.

Inputs

video topic, script, transcript, or script.json
optional rendered video path or publish-prep review bundle
target platforms, audience, brand voice, and region
source/provenance notes, sponsorship or affiliate status, and any required disclosure language
optional campaign goal, product URL, CTA target, and banned words

Outputs

platform fit summary with recommended, optional, and skip platforms
title or headline options per platform
caption/description text per platform
hashtags, keywords, or search terms appropriate to each platform
cover text and optional thumbnail angle
CTA line, first comment or pinned comment ideas, and reply prompts
disclosure notes and rights caveats
upload checklist covering assets, metadata, safety, links, captions, cover, accessibility, and final human review

Platform Rules

tiktok: Lead with curiosity, debate, or payoff; use a short caption, native hashtags, a comment prompt, and simple cover text.
reels: Make the caption skim-friendly, include creator/brand voice, use selective hashtags, and suggest a pinned comment when it improves saves or shares.
shorts: Prioritize searchable title, concise description, keywords, and a pinned comment that encourages the next watch or source check.
linkedin: Use only when the content has a professional, founder, hiring, product, industry, or educational angle; write a more complete post with a clear takeaway and restrained hashtags.
x: Use only when the idea can survive as a punchy post or thread starter; keep copy compact, include optional thread/reply expansion, and avoid hashtag stuffing.

Output Format

Prefer a single platform_packaging.json or Markdown brief under the current output directory when the caller asked for a file.
Use stable platform keys: tiktok, reels, shorts, linkedin, x.
For each platform include: fit, title, caption, hashtags, keywords, coverText, cta, disclosures, firstComment, and uploadChecklist.
Mark unknown or risky items as needs_review instead of inventing facts.

Optional Runtime Surface

Pair after publish-prep-review when a final MP4 and readiness bundle already exist.
Pair with style-profile-library when platform copy should follow a saved brand or niche profile.
Pair with asset-ledger when disclosure, license, attribution, or AI-generation evidence is needed.

Validation Checklist

Every selected platform has distinct packaging aligned to that platform’s native behavior.
The metadata matches the actual video and does not add unsupported claims.
Hashtags and keywords are relevant, limited, and not spammy.
Disclosure, attribution, sponsorship, and AI-generated-media notes are visible when needed.
The upload checklist confirms no upload was attempted and leaves final approval to the human publisher.
