Read `references/cost-guidance.md` whenever the user compares models, asks about price, or must approve a paid plan. Neither this skill nor either of those pins a model catalog or a "best model for X" table -- both providers' catalogs, capabilities, and pricing change independently and on their own schedule, and a fixed ranking here would go stale exactly the way a fixed model ID would. ## Resolve production-level unknowns before the first paid call `video-creation` already asks one compact question only when a missing choice would substantially change the result or cost (see "Understand the request"). A long-form AI-generated production has its own unresolved-question shape, and getting it wrong is more expensive to unwind than a typography choice: a wrong shot is a paid regeneration, not a free re-render. Before the first generation call, resolve whatever the brief hasn't already answered: - **Provider/model preference.** Does the user already know they want fal.ai, Google, or a specific model? If not, state the tradeoff briefly (see "Decide by requirement" below) rather than picking silently on their behalf for a paid call. - **Character/subject consistency requirements.** Does any characte
