video-podcast-maker-lite

Minimal personal narrated-video pipeline — a topic becomes a talking-head-free explainer MP4 (1080p or 4K) via script → Azure TTS (SSML) → Remotion. Use when the user wants a quick narrated video from a topic without the full video-podcast-maker machinery (no extra skills, no thumbnails/shorts/publish matrix). Do NOT trigger for heavy production needs — use video-podcast-maker for those.

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A highly actionable, well-sequenced pipeline with strong validation gates and feedback loops. The main weakness is length: several inlined detail blocks (script-style rules, composition contract) could be extracted into reference files to sharpen the overview.

Suggestions

Extract the 'Script style (anti-AI-flavor)' rules table into a reference file (e.g. references/script-style.md) and link to it from Step 1, keeping only the self-check inline.

Move the 'Composition contract' section into references/composition-contract.md and reference it from Step 3 so the SKILL.md overview stays lean.

Trim the narrative justifications (e.g. why SSML <sub alias> was abandoned, the multilingual-voice aside) to one line or move them into references/pronunciation.md where they already partly live.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Dense and skill-specific with no basic-concept padding, but the body is long and includes narrative justifications (e.g. the SSML <sub alias> abandonment aside) that could be trimmed without losing actionability.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable guidance throughout — exact bash, ffmpeg, and curl commands with flags, real file paths, a JSON composition-contract example, and concrete knob/env-var defaults — copy-paste ready for the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced 6-step workflow with explicit validation checkpoints (script review gate, Studio confirmation gate, --check pre-flight, ±0.5s duration match) and feedback loops (Iterating + Troubleshooting sections) for error recovery.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Good structure with a clearly signaled one-level reference to references/pronunciation.md and the scripts/tts.py bundle, but the script-style rules and the composition contract are inlined in SKILL.md rather than split into separate reference files.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A concise, specific description that states the pipeline, the use-when trigger, and a negative boundary against the heavier sibling skill. Voice is third-person throughout and there is no vague fluff.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete pipeline actions — 'topic becomes a talking-head-free explainer MP4 (1080p or 4K) via script → Azure TTS (SSML) → Remotion' — with comprehensive coverage of what the skill does end-to-end.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (the script→TTS→Remotion→MP4 pipeline) and 'when' ('Use when the user wants a quick narrated video from a topic without the full video-podcast-maker machinery'), plus a concrete negative trigger ('Do NOT trigger for heavy production needs').

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural phrases like 'quick narrated video from a topic' and 'heavy production needs' are present and would be said by users, but a few common synonyms (e.g. 'explainer video', 'voiceover') are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (lite narrated-video) with an explicit boundary against the sibling skill ('use video-podcast-maker for those') keeps conflict risk minimal.
