A card says what the agent wants to do with the details; the pointer clicks Approve and the card fills with a confirming tick. A 4 to 10 second clip in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5, as an MP4 on its own or as one scene of a longer launch film. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when an AI agent or automation shows it stays safe by asking first.

About this skill

You say

Agent asks "Send 120 invoices to clients?", approve, then "Sending now".

It said back

The clip is rendered: launch-scene/agent-asks-first.mp4 in the working directory. It is 5.1 seconds at 1920×1080 (16:9), 30 fps and 219 KB.

  • Scene: a card asks "Send 120 invoices to clients?", the pointer clicks Approve, and the card turns to a tick with "Sending now".
  • Look: swiss, with the default red accent. I picked it because you didn't name a look.
  • Your words: the question and the "Sending now" line are exactly what you gave me.
  • Added by me: the detail lines "120 invoices" and "To clients" only restate your question. I also named the agent "Invoice agent". The scene needs at least one detail, and I didn't want to invent figures.
  • Check: the layout check came back clean, and I looked at the settled last frame (the "Sending now" state). I didn't play the full clip.
