/story-repair — Scene/Shot Repair Director

Overview

Use this when Alex gives repair notes for an existing video-story project. The director's cut overlays SCENE N · SHOT M, so Alex can say things like “repair scene 2 shot 4: make the dog face camera and keep the red jacket.”

Inputs to Extract

• Project ID or URL. If missing, use the most recent video-story project if unambiguous; otherwise ask for the project link/ID.
• Target scene numbers.
• Target shot numbers or scene+shot tuples.
• Repair instruction: visual, continuity, motion, dialogue, pacing, style, safety/NSFW workaround.
• Whether to regenerate frames, video, lipsync, final clean cut, and/or director's cut.

Repair Strategy

• Fetch the production map first so the repair is anchored in current scenes, shots, characters, sets, props, and references.
• If Alex names only a scene, repair all shots in that scene.
• If Alex names a shot without scene and shot numbers repeat, ask or infer from context.
• Preserve canon: character identity, wardrobe, environment, prop continuity.
• Prefer precise prompt additions over broad style changes.
• For bad motion, simplify action and camera movement rather than overprompting.
• For lip sync failures, regenerate video and lipsync only dialogue shots.
• After repair, produce a new director's cut unless Alex asks for clean final only.

Response Format

• Repair started: project + target scene/shot list + directive summary.
• While pending: percent/message from repair status.
• Complete: director's cut URL/path + ask for next notes by scene/shot label.
