What this skill does


# Veo Use

Use this skill to generate and edit videos using Google's Veo models (`veo-3.1` and `veo-2.0`).

This skill uses portable Python scripts managed by `uv`.

## Prerequisites

Ensure you have one of the following authentication methods configured in your environment:

1.  **API Key**:
    -   `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY`

2.  **Vertex AI**:
    -   `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`
    -   `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION`
    -   `GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=1`

## Usage

### 1. Text to Video

Generate a video purely from a text description.

```bash
uv run skills/veo-use/scripts/text_to_video.py "A cinematic drone shot of a futuristic city" --output city.mp4
```

### 2. Image to Video

Generate a video starting from a static image context.

```bash
uv run skills/veo-use/scripts/image_to_video.py "Zoom out from the flower" --image start.png --output flower.mp4
```

### 3. Reference to Video

Use specific asset images (subjects, products) to guide generation.

```bash
uv run skills/veo-use/scripts/reference_to_video.py "A man walking on the moon" --reference-image man.png --output moon_walk.mp4
```

### 4. Edit Video (Inpainting)

Modify existing videos using masks.

**Modes:**
-   `REMOVE`: Remove dynamic object.
-   `REMOVE_STATIC`: Remove static object (watermark).
-   `INSERT`: Insert new object (requires `--prompt`).

```bash
uv run skills/veo-use/scripts/edit_video.py --video input.mp4 --mask mask.png --mode INSERT --prompt "A flying car" --output edited.mp4
```

### 5. Extend Video

Extend the duration of an existing video clip.

```bash
uv run skills/veo-use/scripts/extend_video.py --video clip.mp4 --prompt "The car flies away into the sunset" --duration 6 --output extended.mp4
```

### Common Options

-   `--model`: Default `veo-3.1-generate-001`.
-   `--resolution`: `1080p` (default), `720p`, `4k`.
-   `--aspect-ratio`: `16:9` (default), `9:16`.
-   `--duration`: `6` (default), `4`, `8`.

watch

Included

Watch a video (URL or local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or Whisper API fallback), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.

physical-ai-defect-image-generation

Included

Use when the user wants to orchestrate defect image generation, run associated setup, or handle outputs on OSMO. The Day 0 path handles cold-start with USD-to-ROI, image-edit augmentation, and AnomalyGen to create initial PCBA datasets. The Day 1 path performs inference and labeling on real images. This skill helps with first-time asset setup, creation of finetuning checkpoints, and configuring deployment.

accelint-react-best-practices

Included

React performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.

humanizer

Included

Humanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.

generating-mermaid-diagrams

Included

Salesforce architecture diagrams using Mermaid with ASCII fallback. Use this skill when generating text-based diagrams for Salesforce architecture, OAuth flows, ERDs, integration sequences, or Agentforce structure. TRIGGER when: user says "diagram", "visualize", "ERD", or asks for sequence diagrams, flowcharts, class diagrams, or architecture visualizations in Mermaid. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants PNG/SVG image output (use generating-visual-diagrams), or asks about non-Salesforce systems.
