# Pilot Video Production Pipeline Setup > Deploy a video production pipeline with 3 agents that automate script writing, editing coordination, and multi-platform distribution. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to set up a video production or content creation pipeline 2. User is configuring an agent as part of a video editing or publishing workflow 3. User asks about automating video scripts, editing tasks, or multi-platform distribution Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants to share a single file (use pilot-share instead) - User wants a one-off webhook notification (use pilot-webhook-bridge instead) - Skill: `teoslayer/pilot-video-production-pipeline-setup` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add teoslayer/pilot-video-production-pipeline-setup` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/teoslayer/pilot-video-production-pipeline-setup/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: DevOps & Infra - License: AGPL-3.0 - Author: TeoSlayer (https://skillmd.com/u/teoslayer) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/teoslayer/pilot-video-production-pipeline-setup --- # Video Production Pipeline Setup Deploy 3 agents that automate video production from script to multi-platform publish. ## Roles | Role | Hostname | Skills | Purpose | |------|----------|--------|---------| | scripter | `-scripter` | pilot-task-router, pilot-share, pilot-archive | Generates scripts, outlines, and storyboards from briefs | | editor | `-editor` | pilot-task-chain, pilot-dataset, pilot-receipt | Coordinates editing tasks, manages assets, applies templates | | distributor | `-distributor` | pilot-webhook-bridge, pilot-metrics, pilot-slack-bridge | Publishes to platforms, tracks performance metrics | ## Setup Procedure **Step 1:** Ask the user which role this agent should play and what prefix to use. **Step 2:** Install the skills for the chosen role: ```bash # scripter: clawhub install pilot-task-router pilot-share pilot-archive # editor: clawhub install pilot-task-chain pilot-dataset pilot-receipt # distributor: clawhub install pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-metrics pilot-slack-bridge ``` **Step 3:** Set the hostname: ```bash pilotctl --json set-hostname - ``` **Step 4:** Write the setup manifest: ```bash mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups cat > ~/.pilot/setups/video-production-pipeline.json << 'MANIFEST' MANIFEST ``` **Step 5:** Tell the user to initiate handshakes with direct communication peers. ## Manifest Templates Per Role ### scripter ```json {"setup":"video-production-pipeline","setup_name":"Video Production Pipeline","role":"scripter","role_name":"Script Writer","hostname":"-scripter","description":"Generates video scripts, outlines, and storyboards from briefs and trending topics.","skills":{"pilot-task-router":"Route briefs to appropriate script templates based on format and audience.","pilot-share":"Share completed scripts and storyboards with editor.","pilot-archive":"Archive all script drafts and revisions for reference."},"peers":[{"role":"editor","hostname":"-editor","description":"Receives approved scripts for editing"}],"data_flows":[{"direction":"send","peer":"-editor","port":1002,"topic":"video-script","description":"Approved scripts and storyboards"}],"handshakes_needed":["-editor"]} ``` ### editor ```json {"setup":"video-production-pipeline","setup_name":"Video Production Pipeline","role":"editor","role_name":"Video Editor","hostname":"-editor","description":"Coordinates editing tasks, manages asset libraries, applies brand templates.","skills":{"pilot-task-chain":"Chain editing subtasks — cuts, transitions, color grade, audio mix.","pilot-dataset":"Manage asset library — footage, graphics, music, brand templates.","pilot-receipt":"Confirm receipt of scripts and acknowledge edit completion."},"peers":[{"role":"scripter","hostname":"-scripter","description":"Sends approved scripts"},{"role":"distributor","hostname":"-distributor","description":"Receives edited video packages"}],"data_flows":[{"direction":"receive","peer":"-scripter","port":1002,"topic":"video-script","description":"Approved scripts and storyboards"},{"direction":"send","peer":"-distributor","port":1002,"topic":"edited-video","description":"Edited video packages with metadata"}],"handshakes_needed":["-scripter","-distributor"]} ``` ### distributor ```json {"setup":"video-production-pipeline","setup_name":"Video Production Pipeline","role":"distributor","role_name":"Content Distributor","hostname":"-distributor","description":"Publishes to YouTube, TikTok, and social platforms.
