Voice Compose Agent Skill

Designs and attaches voice samples or final narration/line audio on the filmmaking canvas via the local generate_voice.js CLI. Use before calling generate_voice.js; when the user asks to give a character a voice, preview how a character sounds, create reusable timbre anchors for every speaking character or VO/narration, or create exact narration/VO/final line audio.

The instruction itself

3 sections, as written by the author

Default to one short reusable timbre sample per speaking character and one VO/narrator sample when narration exists. video-compose keeps actual shot dialogue/VO in the video prompt. Treat audio_result.data.text as downstream speech only for approved final narration/line reads.

Patterns

Follow PROJECT_AGENT.md for context/staging. This skill owns voice prompt + CLI shape.

1. Character voice sample

Triggers: "give / design a voice for [character]", "what does [character] sound like", "voices for all the characters on the canvas".

Target: any image_result for the person; don't gate on subtype. Read data.local_path before prompt; layer name/role/description on top.
Call:

  node "$PAI_REPO_ROOT/server/cli/generate_voice.js" \
    --text "<line>" \
    --prompt "<voice design brief>" \
    --source-node-id <character.id>

Prompt describes the voice, not the character:

> [age bracket] [gender], [timbre], [register], [pace], [accent if relevant]. [optional emotional color].

✅ "Mid-50s man, gravelly baritone, measured pace, slight rasp from decades of smoking, weary but steady."

✅ "Young woman, bright mezzo, warm, quick and percussive. Slight Southern lilt."

❌ "Detective Morris's voice." — names the character, not the voice. The model needs sound qualities.

text: 1-3 sentence in-character sample (≤200 chars), not every script line.
Script breakdowns: one staged call per speaker; preserve labels. Add separate VO/narrator via Pattern 2.

2. Narrator / VO voice sample or final line audio

Triggers: narrator voice, voice-over, "a voice that says X" without character, narration track, or explicit final line-read audio.

Omit --source-node-id:

  node "$PAI_REPO_ROOT/server/cli/generate_voice.js" \
    --text "<the narration line>" \
    --prompt "<voice design brief>"

Same prompt convention as Pattern 1.
Reusable VO/narrator anchor: short sample line in narrator style, not full script narration.
Final narration/line-read: copy approved text exactly into --text; then data.text is source of truth.

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Improves the quality of images, especially screenshots, by enhancing resolution, sharpness, and clarity. Perfect for preparing images for presentations, documentation, or social media posts.

Downloads videos from YouTube and other platforms for offline viewing, editing, or archival. Handles various formats and quality options.

Lightweight WSI tile extraction and preprocessing. Use for basic slide processing tissue detection, tile extraction, stain normalization for H&E images. Best for simple pipelines, dataset preparation, quick tile-based analysis. For advanced spatial proteomics, multiplexed imaging, or deep learning pipelines use pathml.

Microscopy data management platform. Access images via Python, retrieve datasets, analyze pixels, manage ROIs/annotations, batch processing, for high-content screening and microscopy workflows.

Python library for working with DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files. Use this skill when reading, writing, or modifying medical imaging data in DICOM format, extracting pixel data from medical images (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound), anonymizing DICOM files, working with DICOM metadata and tags, converting DICOM images to other formats, handling compressed DICOM data, or processing medical imaging datasets. Applies to tasks involving medical image analysis, PACS systems, radiology workflows, and healthcare imaging applications.

This skill should be used when working with pre-trained transformer models for natural language processing, computer vision, audio, or multimodal tasks. Use for text generation, classification, question answering, translation, summarization, image classification, object detection, speech recognition, and fine-tuning models on custom datasets.
