Starting brief for WorkBuddy
Copy this, fill in the bracketed fields, and send it with the package path or readable guide.
Read the complete brief
I selected this video’s workspace in a new WorkBuddy task. List its .motion package and assets, and tell me where previews and exports will be saved. Topic: [fill in] Platform and aspect ratio: [fill in] Target duration: [fill in] Available copy, assets or audio: [fill in / none yet] Preserve the original .motion. Read only its outer entries first; if present, read 00-START-HERE.md and assistant/guide.json without extracting personal identity or protected content. Otherwise identify the author project structure. For production, follow the packaged entry to verify tools and identity, read the real input contract and check updates and dependencies. Explain update impact and preserve approved versions. Help me complete the brief, approve a plan and generate a real preview in a separate production folder. After approval, export through the template entry and deliver video and editable project paths. Report actual errors and unfinished work. Keep private assets and keys out of public files and explain service and budget before paid generation.
After the preview, finish these two steps
- Revise by timestamp. For example: shorten the title at 00:08 and use image two at 00:12. Reopen the full preview and check captions, picture, sound and actual duration.
- Approve export and save. Ask for the video, editable project and asset paths. Play the complete export and check aspect ratio, resolution and audio sync.
If you get stuck
A phone task cannot see desktop assets
Check the Local / Connect computer environment, desktop availability and linked account. For a cloud task, supply files through its own interface and recheck dependencies.
The .motion file is rejected or unreadable?
Prefer the original package in the current project with an exact path. For attachments, wait for upload and request the actual filename and outer entries. Use the website’s ZIP-compatible download if available; do not wrap .motion in another ZIP.
