Generate a promo video plan from a project's PRD. Produces a 30-45 second video script with shot-by-shot storyboard. Detects Montage-tool or Remotion in the project and outputs compatible config when found.

MCP Tools (use if available)

• project_code_search(query, project) — find UI components, screens, features to showcase
• project_info(name) — get project stack and details
• kb_search(query) — find video production methodology

If MCP tools are not available, fall back to Glob + Grep + Read.

Steps

1. Parse project from $ARGUMENTS.

   • Read PRD (docs/prd.md), README, or CLAUDE.md for product info.
   • If empty: ask via AskUserQuestion.

2. Detect video tooling in the project:

   • Check package.json for remotion, @remotion/cli → Remotion project
   • Check for montage.config.*, pnpm montage → Montage-tool project
   • Check for ffmpeg usage in scripts → FFmpeg pipeline
   • If none found: output plain storyboard (no specific tooling config)

3. Extract key screens/features to showcase:

   • If MCP available: project_code_search("main screen OR hero OR dashboard", project) — find showcase-worthy UI
   • Otherwise: Glob for screenshots, mockups, or UI component files
   • Read PRD for top 3-5 features to demonstrate

4. Forced reasoning — video strategy: Before scripting, write out:

   • Goal: What should the viewer DO after watching? (download, sign up, visit)
   • Hook type: Question? Surprising stat? Pain point? Bold claim?
   • Demo moments: 3 key product moments to show on screen
   • Emotion arc: Frustration → Discovery → Relief/Delight

5. Generate video script (30-45 seconds):

   ## Video Script: {Project Name}
   
   **Duration:** 30-45 seconds
   **Format:** Vertical (9:16) for Reels/TikTok/Shorts
   **Style:** Screen recording + text overlays
   
   ### HOOK (0:00-0:03) — 3 seconds
   **Audio:** "{hook line — question or bold statement}"
   **Visual:** {what appears on screen — text overlay on gradient/blurred BG}
   
   ### PROBLEM (0:03-0:10) — 7 seconds
   **Audio:** "{describe the pain in user's words}"
   **Visual:** {show the frustrating current state — competitor UX, manual process, etc.}
   
   ### DEMO (0:10-0:25) — 15 seconds
   **Audio:** "{narrate what the product does}"
   **Visual:**
   - Shot 1 (5s): {first feature demo — screen recording}
   - Shot 2 (5s): {second feature demo}
   - Shot 3 (5s): {wow moment — the key differentiator}
   
   ### CTA (0:25-0:30) — 5 seconds
   **Audio:** "{call to action}"
   **Visual:** {product logo + URL + download badge}
   

6. Generate tooling config (if applicable):

   If Remotion detected:

   ## Remotion Component Spec
   
   Component: `PromoVideo.tsx`
   Duration: 900 frames (30fps × 30s)
