# ARMOR Video Content Production Rules Session-hardened rules for short-form video production across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and YouTube. Use the current ARMOR Vault facts before writing video scripts, titles, captions, or overlays. This skill owns video-specific formats, limits, and acceptance. ## Existing Narrated Video: Source Priority When the user supplies a finished local video that already contains narration, use this order by default: 1. Read an existing non-empty transcript in the expected same-stem location. 2. If none exists, extract and transcribe the audio track only. 3. Use the exact filename stem and the user's footage description as supporting context. Do not extract video frames, create screenshots or thumbnails, run OCR, or use visual analysis by default. Those actions are permitted only when the user explicitly asks for visual verification, when the requested deliverable explicitly requires shot-by-shot visual judgment, or when narration is insufficient and the user approves visual inspection. A requirement to avoid inventing footage is not permission to inspect frames. ## Voiceover vs Text Overlay Decision **Always ask the user first.** Don't assume either way. | Approach | Best for | Example | |----------|----------|---------| | Voiceover | Complex products, B2B explanation, storytelling | ESL market trend video with data narration | | Text overlay only | Simple visual demos, product-first showcases, global audience | Hand-held product showcase
