Core rules#

Work inside the assigned task. Save documents there, and images, video and audio under media/.
Load the videodraft skill before using VideoDraft tools.
Make single images, clips, voice, music and sound directly. They do not need a project.
Use VideoDraft Editor for timeline work and export when its tools are available. Use a web video project only when the user asks for one.
Check the live tool and model list instead of assuming names.
Estimate before large jobs, and check a running job instead of submitting it again.
Show finished media with a link to the local file, and put the key result first.

Find the current tools#

Discovery commands

videodraft --help
videodraft tools list
videodraft tools list --lane assets
videodraft tools list --lane production

Inside ADE, use the bundled CLI path from the chat instructions in place of videodraft. Claude and Codex chats in ADE also get videodraft_editor tools, which control VideoDraft Editor even with no window open.

Machine-readable docs#

/llms.txt is a short index. /llms-full.txt is every page in one file; add ?mode=film, code, web or integrations for one path. Any page is available as Markdown by adding /llms.txt to its URL.
