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.
