# UGC Craft > **Routing check.** This skill holds only the *craft*. The entry points are > `ugc-product-video` (full UGC build) and `stitching-multi-clip` (source+AI > stitch) — they own routing, model selection, snapshot/draft, and all internal > tooling. If you arrived here directly because the user asked for a video, > stop and load `ugc-product-video` first, then come back for the craft. The > *mechanics* of actually running a generation (provider/model pick, prompt > build, job polling, import) live in `ai-asset-generation`. This is the model-agnostic knowledge that makes AI UGC feel authentically human. Apply it through whichever model file the parent skill routed you to (the model file owns the numeric caps + param specifics; this file owns the craft). ## The 9-layer UGC formula Stack these in order inside ONE prompt — skip a layer and the output falls apart: 1. **Format header** — duration, style (UGC selfie / walkthrough / lookbook…), device, lighting, angle. 2. **Person** — appearance, **skin texture** (see realism cues), clothing. 3. **Setting** — a lived-in environment with 3–4 specific objects/clutter, not a void. 4. **Product introduction** — exactly how they hold / show / angle the product to camera. 5. **Script beats** — the jump-cut scenes with dialogue + actions (see beat spine + duration). 6. **Tone direction** — personality, energy, and a MANDATORY pacing cue (see pacing). 7. **Edit style** — jump cuts, angle changes, "best bits of multiple takes" fee
