kanban-video-orchestrator

From NousResearch

Plan, set up, and monitor a multi-agent video production pipeline backed by Hermes Kanban. Use when the user wants to make ANY video — narrative film, product/marketing, music video, explainer, ASCII/terminal art, abstract/generative loop, comic, 3D, real-time/installation — and the work warrants decomposition into specialized profiles (writer, designer, animator, renderer, voice, editor, etc.) coordinated through a kanban board. Performs adaptive discovery to scope the brief, designs an appropriate team for the requested style, generates the setup script that creates Hermes profiles + initial kanban task, then helps monitor execution and intervene when tasks stall or fail. Routes scenes to whichever Hermes rendering / audio / design skill fits each beat (`ascii-video`, `manim-video`, `p5js`, `comfyui`, `touchdesigner-mcp`, `blender-mcp`, `pixel-art`, `baoyu-comic`, `claude-design`, `excalidraw`, `songsee`, `heartmula`, …) plus external APIs for TTS, image-gen, and image-to-video as needed.

# Kanban Video Orchestrator

Wrap any video request — from a 15-second product teaser to a 5-minute narrative
short to a music video to an ASCII loop — in a Hermes Kanban pipeline that
decomposes the work to specialized agent profiles.

This skill does **not** render anything itself. It is a meta-pipeline that:

1. **Scopes** the request through targeted discovery
2. **Designs** an appropriate team (which roles, which tools per role) based on the style
3. **Generates** a setup script that creates Hermes profiles, project workspace, and the initial kanban task
4. **Hands off** to the director profile, which decomposes via the kanban
5. **Monitors** execution, helps intervene when tasks stall or fail

The actual rendering happens inside the kanban once it's running, via whichever
existing skills + tools fit the scenes — `ascii-video`, `manim-video`, `p5js`,
`comfyui`, `touchdesigner-mcp`, `blender-mcp`, `songwriting-and-ai-music`,
`heartmula`, external APIs, or plain Python with PIL + ffmpeg.

## When NOT to use this skill

- The video is one continuous procedural project that needs no specialists. Just write the code directly.
- The user wants a quick one-shot conversion (e.g. "convert this mp4 to a GIF") — use ffmpeg directly.
- The output is a static image, GIF, or audio-only artifact — use the matching specific skill (`ascii-art`, `gifs`, `meme-generation`, `songwriting-and-a
