Product video

Use this skill to plan one Sloosh video clip from a prompt, a start frame or product reference photos. The tool descriptions and the server's instructions decide how each tool works. If this skill differs from a tool description or a server guide, follow the server.

Make one clip per request. This skill does not cut several shots into a film, make a person speak a script, make a named product effect, change a clip the user already has or morph between two stills.

Before you start

• If the Sloosh tools are not available (no get_connection, quote_generation or generate tool), tell the user to install and connect the core Sloosh plugin. Then stop.
  • Claude Code: run /plugin install sloosh@sloosh, then run /mcp and sign in.
  • Claude app: open the plugin's Connectors tab and connect Sloosh. Or add a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.sloosh.ai/mcp.
• If a brand kit exists, read it: a sloosh-brand.md file, Project knowledge, memory or pasted brand text. Use its look and brand line in the prompt.
• If the user gives a photo of a person, a third-party image or a style reference, ask the user to confirm they may use it. For a person, ask the user to confirm that the person agreed to appear in an AI-made video. Ask before any quote. Do not use a photo of a child or of a public figure. If the user declines or cannot confirm, explain why and stop.

Steps

1. Call get_connection once in the conversation if you have not called it yet. If spending is not enabled, give the user the settings link it returns and do no paid work.
2. Collect the brief: the product, the motion or camera move, the aspect ratio, the length and whether the user wants sound. Ask only for what is missing. Write the brief back in three lines: what the clip shows, the motion and camera move, and the ratio, length and sound.
3. Find the product image, if any:
   • Reuse an asset from list_assets or get_asset.
   • For a local file, follow the server's upload instruction for this client.
   • For a public HTTPS image URL, use import_asset.
   • If there is no image yet, offer to make one with the product-imagery skill. That image has its own quote and approval.
4. Look at the image with view_asset. Tell the user in one line what will move and what stays exact: the label, logo, colours and shape. Never animate or change the label. If the image shows a person, ask the consent question from Before you start before any quote. If it shows a child or a public figure, do not use it. Tell the user why and stop.
5. Call list_spaces with output type video and a search such as product video or animate photo. Read the best match with get_space. If its description fits the brief, offer it beside a direct clip. If the user picks the Space, follow the published-spaces skill. If not, continue here.
6. Choose the image role. Use role start_frame when the clip must open on the user's exact still, such as a product page loop. Use role reference when the product only needs to look right in a new scene.
7. Call list_models with mode video_gen. Pick a model whose limits fit the brief: start frame, prompt length, references, ratio, duration and audio. If the length is not listed, use the nearest one and tell the user. Add extra product photos with role reference to a start frame only if the model's limits allow frames and reference images together. Do not choose a model or estimate a price from memory.
8. Write the prompt from the craft rules below. list_models also returns cameras, lenses and apertures. If one fits, pass its key in cameraControls on the quote instead of lens words in the prompt.
9. If the prompt is short or vague, or the user asks to improve it, call enhance_prompt with the prompt, mode video_gen, the model settings and the number of reference images. It is free. If enhance_prompt fails, follow its error and use your own prompt.
10. Check the rewrite before you show it. Delete any product detail the image does not show. For a start frame, delete any new description of the scene. Keep the keep line. If the rewrite is too long for the model, cut style words first. Show the user the result. Then quote it with enhancePrompt false, so it is not rewritten twice.
11. Call quote_generation for the clip with the prompt, the model settings and the images with their roles.
12. Tell the user the credits, length, ratio and sound. If the quote has a warning, say what it says. If the quote returns a budget and its fitsDailyLimit is false, give the user the budget's settings link and do not run. The allowance left from get_connection is in millicredits. Divide it by 1000 to get credits before you compare it with the quote. Wait for the user to approve.
13. Call generate with the quote and a stable idempotency key, for example video-serum-pushin-9x16-v1. Set confirmed=true only after the user approves this quote.
14. If show_generation is available, call show_generation once with the operation id. If not, check the state with get_generation when the user asks.
15. You cannot watch the video. When the clip is ready, ask the user to check it against the list in Check the result. Offer the fixes in When a run delivers nothing.

For a clip the user already has, a named product effect or a person speaking to camera, use the Sloosh video pack if it is installed. To improve a seen clip, follow the creative-iteration skill. For a ready-made recipe, such as three short clips from one photo, follow the published-spaces skill. For a creator-style ad, follow the ugc-storyboard skill. For a film edited on the user's computer, follow the launch-film skill.

For model constraints and card actions, read the generation guide with get_guide.

Prompt craft

Take the skeleton for the image role from references/prompt-skeletons.md. That file also holds the craft rules for moves, loops and placements.

• For a start frame, say only what changes. Do not describe the scene again, because a new description causes drift.
• Give one camera move and one subject action per clip.
• Put the keep line in every prompt: the label, logo, colours and shape stay exactly as in the image. Add "No on-screen text."

Check the result

Ask the user to check these points:

• The label, the logo, the colour and the shape stayed the same. No text appeared.
• The camera did the one move asked, and only the named thing moved.
• The length, the ratio and the sound match the quote. The sound does not fight the scene.
• For a start frame, the first frame matches the still. For a loop, the seam is clean.

When a run delivers nothing

• A run can settle with nothing delivered because a reference photo shows a real person who is not verified yet. The same key returns the same result. Wait about a minute. Then get a fresh quote, ask for a new approval and use a new key. Do this once. If it fails again, tell the user and stop.
• A run can settle with nothing delivered because a safety check blocked the output. Tell the user. Remove wording about people, smoke, alcohol or medical claims. Then quote again, ask for a new approval and use a new key.
• If the model refuses without a start frame, set role start_frame. Then quote again, ask for a new approval and use a new key.
• If the product changes shape or text appears, use a shorter clip, a slower move, role start_frame or the fixes in references/prompt-skeletons.md. After any fix, quote again, ask for a new approval and use a new key, such as video-serum-pushin-9x16-v2.

Spending rules

• Get a quote before any paid call. State its credits in plain words.
• If the quote has a warning, tell the user what it says before they approve.
• This skill makes one clip per round. Ask for one approval for it. If its credits are more than the allowance left, do not run.
• Wait for the user's approval of that quote. A changed brief, another model, a changed image role or an expired quote needs a new quote and a new approval.
• Start each idempotency key with video- and build it from the product, variant and aspect ratio, for example video-candle-loop-1x1-v1. Use the same key when you retry the same request. Never reuse a key across different quotes. Do not make a new key to retry.
• If the owner phase is rejected, nothing ran and nothing was charged. Follow the notice in the result. Among retries, only this case and the real person case need a new quote, a new approval and a new key.
• If a call fails because the service owner is unavailable, retry once with the same key. If it fails again, tell the user and stop.
• If the result of a generation is unclear, use reconcile_generation before you retry.
• For any other error, read the recovery guide with get_guide before you act. Retry at most once.
