# Media Content Creation

## Step 1 — Identify the medium and intent

Identify which medium the user needs:
- **Video** — motion, cinematic, animation, or programmatic
- **Audio** — speech, narration, voiceover, or music
- **Image** — photo, graphic, diagram, animated visual

If the user's prompt covers multiple media types (e.g., "a video with voiceover"), start with
video, then handle audio as a second pass.

## Step 2 — Discover tools (ALWAYS do this unless a tool is already chosen)

**Do not assume which tool the user should use.** The AI tools landscape changes weekly —
tools go paid, free tiers shrink, better alternatives emerge. A tool that was free yesterday
may require a credit card today.

**Unless the user has already named the tool they want to use**, invoke the `find-ai-tools`
skill for the relevant category before routing to any reference file:

| Medium | find-ai-tools category to search |
|--------|----------------------------------|
| Realistic AI video | `video generation` |
| Programmatic / animated video | `programmatic video` or `animated video` |
| Video for ads | `AI video ads` |
| Text-to-speech / voiceover | `text to speech` |
| Music / jingles | `AI music generation` |
| Realistic images / product photos | `image generation` |
| Diagrams / infographics | `AI diagram` |
| Animating a static image | `image to video` or `AI animation` |

**What find-ai-tools will return:**
- A ranked top-5 list sorted by free access (Free > Freemium > Free Trial > Paid Only)
- Honest free tier details sourced from community (not vendor marketing)
- Flags when a tool claims "free trial" but requires a credit card from day one

**Present this list to the user and let them choose.** Do not pick for them.

## Step 3 — Execute with the chosen tool

Once the user has selected a tool, route to the matching reference file for the execution
workflow (prompt tips, API code, step-by-step instructions):

### Video

| Intent | Reference file |
|--------|---------------|
| Realistic AI video (cinematic, product, human motion) | `references/video-realistic.md` |
| Programmatic / animated / code-based / emoji video | `references/video-programmatic.md` |
| Video for ads, TikTok Shop, Instagram Shop, ecommerce | `references/video-ads.md` |
| Editing existing video (trim, silence removal, captions) | `references/video-editing.md` |

### Audio

| Intent | Reference file |
|--------|---------------|
| Text-to-speech, voiceover, narration, article summary as audio | `references/audio-tts.md` |
| Background music, jingles, instrumental tracks | `references/audio-music.md` |

### Image

| Intent | Reference file |
|--------|---------------|
| Realistic photos, product images, people, scenes | `references/image-realistic.md` |
| Diagrams, flowcharts, infographics, data visuals, graphics | `references/image-graphics.md` |
| Animating a static image (adding motion) | `references/image-motion.md` |

The reference files contain prompt tips, API code examples, and step-by-step workflows.
They are tool-agnostic where possible — adapt the workflow to whichever tool the user chose.

## When to skip Step 2

Skip the find-ai-tools search only when:
- The user explicitly names the tool ("use Kling", "use ElevenLabs", "use Remotion")
- The user is asking for programmatic/code-based video (Remotion) — no free-tier concern
- The user is using a tool that is genuinely free and local (edge-tts, Stable Diffusion local, FFmpeg)

## When to check for more tools

If find-ai-tools doesn't return enough options or the user's need is very niche,
invoke `super-claudio:discover-skills` to search community marketplaces.
