# Mimic / Recreate Video (dispatcher)
The FRONT DOOR for "recreate this video." A thin router: understand the source, then hand off
to the creation skill that owns the craft. **Generate nothing here.** Do NOT fall back to
generating clips directly from `video-analysis` output — that is the exact failure this skill
exists to prevent.
## Step 1 — Locate the source + any existing analysis
Identify the source file (the user's attachment / a file on the piece). Call `libi.analysis_get`
(or inspect the piece) to see whether an analysis already exists.
## Step 2 — Ensure analysis (reuse or run)
If no analysis exists, **invoke the `video-analysis` skill** to analyze the source (keyframes +
per-frame vision + summary), and `audio-analysis` for the transcript when the source has
meaningful speech **OR on-screen captions / lyrics you intend to reproduce** (see the "Captions"
note below — for a lyric/kinetic-caption reel you DO transcribe, even though it's "music-only",
because the captions ARE the words). Skip the transcript only for a truly silent / caption-free
b-roll clip. While analyzing, have `video-analysis` capture any **on-screen text** it sees — the
caption wording, position, color/font, glow, and how it animates — that is the style spec you
reproduce. If an analysis already exists, reuse it. Do NOT re-implement analysis here.
## Step 3 — Classify + extract the build plan
From the analysis, do TWO things:
**(a) Classify + recommend one sub-skill** — present the options and
