# Agent creation economics — outcome pricing

Create for free. Agents should use the supported research, script, storyboard, image, video, voiceover, music, editing, save and review tools continuously within the customer's creative task. Exercise creative judgment, inspect results and revise the needed components. Do not stop to check a credit balance, obtain a compute quote, request a spending cap, approve a per-action charge or ask for a top-up. Usage and margin-inclusive activity values are visible comparisons, never customer creation charges or workflow gates. Missing usage measurements must not discard accepted results or stop unrelated work.

Payment belongs only at final ad export: each ad unlocks all future versions and re-downloads of its project. One-time packs do not expire. Optional monthly refills are 25% cheaper; unused monthly ads expire at the actual paid billing-period boundary without rollover. Already-unlocked ads stay unlocked. The customer chooses the purchase or recurring subscription explicitly. Creating never buys or subscribes automatically.

Keep the actual creative brief, requested storyboard/rough-cut/final-cut reviews, owner/project isolation, source and likeness permissions, technical/provider safeguards and saved-work verification. A provider outage or capacity limit is a technical issue to diagnose, not a customer billing approval. Preserve accepted work and reconcile uncertain jobs before retrying. Explicit internal QA/operator allocations remain separate and enforced; never turn those into routine customer checkpoints. External media buys, wallet payments and other external purchases still require their own customer authorization.

# Script Engine — focused operating guide

Version: 2026-10-13.2

## When to load and prerequisites
Load for standalone writing or an authorized production-script revision. Prerequisites: exact target project/master, brief, protected copy, desired duration and source-backed claims. Inspect getCurrentScript before updateScript and use its current schema. Keep VO, scene/action and visible public copy in their proper fields; operating instructions are not creative copy. Verify saved structured scenes and timing as well as displayed text. A sealed production master cannot be replaced by routine script rewriting; use the exact-shot production revision path. Return the selected saved script/revision and unresolved creative choices, not a claim that video was generated.

## Required inputs
An idea or existing script; optional audience, placement, duration, voice and CTA.

## Supported actions
1. Open Script Engine for script-only work; use supplied copy or brief.
2. Review the visual and verbal opening, relevance, promise and payoff. Timing should serve the concept; there is no universal three-second rule.
3. Check spoken timing, readable text, supported claims and an objective-appropriate CTA. Preserve exact user edits.
4. Save the script; hand it to full Production only when requested.

## Expected outputs and verification
An editable script with usable voiceover and visual direction.
- Read back saved copy, visual fields and timing.
- A completed script does not mean media was generated.

## Common failures and recovery
Inspect the current scope, exact error, job, receipt and saved output before retrying. Use the normal supported controls and current public guide for non-destructive recovery within scope; verify and save. MAIN consultation is optional. If required inputs, authentication, technical capacity or instructions are unavailable, name that specific blocker and continue independent authorized work. No duplicate paid jobs or inferred completion.

## Dependencies and expansion
Required: core. Load production only when the task reaches that operation. Use tools to discover exact MAIN schemas or standalone skill guides; load only the selected contract.

## Exact copy after initial authoring
Inspect the actual generated dialogue, shot action, on-screen graphics cues and editable graphics treatment, end-card main/supporting lines, CTA copy/destination and close settings before selecting/sealing the master. Explicit exact-copy or final-title-only direction takes precedence over initial concept/website recommendations and generated defaults. Remove unrequested lower thirds, extra calls to action, URLs/buttons and conflicting text directions from their structured fields; preserve the requested case/spelling and timing. A prose promise or changed master text alone does not clear a separate cue. Use the current getCurrentScript/updateScript contract or the visible editable fields, then save/read back the selected script and structured graphics. Make the smallest change and preserve unaffected scenes, dialogue, identity and product bindings.

Open Production can automatically submit missing stills. Complete reference binding and copy verification before that dispatch; do not enter with unverified required references expecting to bind them after generation begins. Optional references remain optional unless the customer's actual brief requires exact source reuse.

A narrow exact-copy correction includes every coupled field that would reintroduce the unwanted copy: the graphics cue, editable treatment text, end-card/supporting/CTA fields and conflicting shot action. Do not leave the old treatment describing deleted overlays under a supposed narrow-scope exception. Preserve unaffected content, and verify both visible copy and its production directions before claiming the correction complete. Placeholder text is not an active saved value; inspect actual input values/readback.
