```FAQ
What is the primary purpose of the Stickman Video Director skill?
It transforms raw text, notes, or topics into a comprehensive production plan for a one-minute stickman video, including a director's proposal and six specialized Gemini Omni Flash prompts.
What video formats and themes are supported?
The skill supports three aspect ratios: 9:16 (vertical), 16:9 (widescreen), and 1:1 (square). It offers two visual themes: a light theme (white background, black figure) and a dark theme (black background, white figure).
How does the production workflow work?
The workflow follows five steps: Paste (your idea), Choose (ratio and theme), Approve (the director's proposal), Generate (six standalone prompts), and Stitch (combine the clips into a final video).
How does the skill ensure visual and narrative consistency?
The skill uses 'production locks' by repeating character details, line weight, palette, and negative constraints within every standalone prompt to maintain continuity across separate generations.
Do I need an API or MCP dependency to use this?
No, no API or MCP dependency is required. You simply install the Skill into your Codex skills directory and invoke it through conversation.
