| description | Set up, repair, or verify the local AI short-video environment: video-use, FFmpeg, ElevenLabs credentials, and optional HyperFrames skills. Use whenever a user asks to install, configure, fix, reconnect, or check this editing environment. Do not use for Premiere or CapCut help, or to edit/transcribe media; hand those requests to the editing workflow after setup is verified. |
ChatGPT Video Editing Setup
Prepare or repair the environment without starting creative work. The outcome is
an evidence-backed readiness report, not a transcript, upload, edit, preview, or
render.
Read first
Read the setup runbook for commands and install
choices. Read security and verification
before handling credentials or declaring anything ready.
Operating sequence
- Inspect before changing anything: check the stable paths
~/Developer/video-use and, only when requested, ~/Developer/hyperframes.
Recognize normal checkouts and linked worktrees with git rev-parse, then
capture each repository's exact origin, branch or detached state, commit,
and status. Also check available runtime tools and the active agent's Skills
location. Do not print secrets.
- Treat any existing path that is not a Git worktree as a hard stop. The only
accepted origins are the exact official HTTPS URLs in the runbook. A missing
or different origin and a dirty status are also hard stops: report the
evidence, never rewrite the remote automatically, and do not pull, reset,
overwrite, install dependencies, or register a Skill.
- State the exact mutations needed, including clones, package installs, large
downloads, or Skills-directory changes. Obtain explicit approval before any
of them. Inspection and a no-cost local version check do not imply approval
to mutate.
- After approval, follow the runbook exactly and repeat the repository
preflight immediately before dependency installation or Skill registration.
Install/register the complete video-use repository so its helpers remain
available. Treat HyperFrames as optional unless the user specifically needs
HTML, CSS, or GSAP animation; when requested, require Node.js 22 or newer.
- Configure ElevenLabs only through an existing environment variable or the
protected
~/Developer/video-use/.env path. Never echo, log, or commit a
credential.
- Verify with local, no-paid-work checks only. Run HyperFrames repository,
Node, lockfile, and Core Skills checks only if HyperFrames was explicitly
approved and installed; otherwise report it as not requested. Do not upload
media, call transcription, create an edit directory, or edit/render video.
- Report checked paths, approved mutations performed, evidence, versions or
command outcomes, remaining gaps, and the explicit next action. Never claim
readiness without successful evidence.
Handoff boundary
Before any later first media upload to ElevenLabs, identify the source file,
state that it will be uploaded for transcription with ElevenLabs Scribe v2, note
that account quota or charges may apply, and obtain consent. Setup itself ends
before that point.
