Steal

Someone's edit works and you want it on your own videos. This skill measures their edit, writes it down as a style, and proves it on one of your takes before you use it.

Output:

• video-agent/styles/<name>/style.json: the style the engine reads, used by /short-editing <take> style <name>.
• video-agent/styles/<name>/STYLE.md: what was measured and the rules the engine can't hold.
• video-agent/styles/<name>/stills/ (key frames of the original) and assets/ (its sound effects and logos, copied into every short that uses it).
• video-agent/edits/short-<slug>-<name>/output/short-<slug>-<name>.mp4: the test video.

Read references/learnings.md before you start. Each rule in it comes from a copy that got rejected.

How to run it

• Preflight: ffmpeg -version && yt-dlp --version. Missing: /studio-setup tools.
• Talk in the creator's language. Say what you do in one line before each long step.
• <name>: the creator's handle in lowercase with dashes, unless the user names the style.
• Scratch files go in video-agent/.tmp/steal-<name>/ (W below).
