# video-production

Generate short videos via ARK Seedance backend.

## Required Env
- `ARK_API_KEY`
- `SEEDANCE_ENDPOINT_ID`

## Constraints
- `action=generate` only.
- Backend must return a video `url`; missing URL fails fast.
- Output file must be written and non-empty, otherwise `success=false`.
- Default output path: `/tmp/seedance_<ts>.mp4`.

## Parameters
| name | type | required | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | yes | video description |
| duration | number | no | seconds, default `5` |
| output | string | no | output path |

## Usage

```bash
python3 skills/video-production/run.py generate --prompt 'cute cat animation' --duration 5 --output /tmp/cat.mp4
```
