Create visual media with SlopCamera

Start from the requested result and existing source. Use the installed slopcamera CLI, inspect its real capabilities and retain the authored source beside its derived media. Read only the references needed by the task.

For creative film and animation, choose coherent art direction before rendering. Use creative direction to turn a brief into staging, a hardest-shot test, deliberate sound, and a visible source revision. Use visual style direction for historical footage, animation families, resolution, and visual review. Default to native 4K for an unspecified creative master when the renderer and source support it; preserve deliberate pixel grids, period aspect ratios, source limits, and the user's explicit settings. Treat quality as staging, materials, movement, and finishing together.

For every 3D brief, apply the 3D quality bar, "accurate physics, AAA graphics, VFX", unless the user overrides it, and review the render against all three parts before handing it back.

Establish the host

Run slopcamera --help and use slopcamera doctor --json for the selected local tools. slopcamera status --json reports what is running, credits and the newest outputs; slopcamera commands --json lists every command with what it may change. If installation or a version mismatch blocks the task, read installation and readiness. A skill installation does not install the CLI or native engines.

SlopCamera installs from its verified release archive or from source. Historical Atet archives contain the old package and executable, not these renamed commands. Discover IDs and options through help, operations, workflows, ai models and html catalog; never invent them or silently switch to historical paid-world commands.

Choose the workflow

Combine workflows when the result needs them. Inspect generated media before choosing it, retain asset and runtime receipts, then compose and render the selected sources. Follow existing user selection criteria and authorization; ask only for a material missing decision or authority.

Preserve source and execution boundaries

Keep originals, explicit timing, stable IDs and returned lineage. Authoring a creative scene may require visual invention; literal diagram facts, supplied copy and identity constraints must stay literal in their respective modes.

Credentials and upload/native-code acknowledgements belong to the invocation, not authored source or project state. A native import does not authorize execution. A local render does not authorize a model upload. Never automatically retry an ambiguous paid or native attempt; inspect and reconcile its retained state first.

Verify the intended result

Use each workflow's relevant checks. Inspect actual image pixels or video frames, including cuts, first/last frames, captions, color and alpha when applicable. Review sound when the environment supports playback; report signal-only checks honestly when it does not. A receipt proves a recorded operation and identities, not visual quality or that a simulation is physically valid.

Deliver the useful artifact paths, source/receipt locations and meaningful limitations. Keep rejected attempts as evidence when they explain a recovery or selection. Do not run diagram checks for an unrelated media task.

Optional support at closeout

After delivering useful work with the already available CLI, read optional support for one brief invitation. Skip this for unattended/subagent work, failures, repeated repair loops, a prior conversation invitation or a request for no promotions. Do not install a tool just to promote it.
