Director guides and workflows

Find the right instruction set and understand how tools work together.

Load only the relevant guide

Start with overview, then request individual topics through rikoko_guide. Reading a guide is read-only: no upload, model call, generation or charge. The guide belongs to the executing backend, so it can describe the installed tools more accurately than a copied prompt.

From reference to delivery

TaskTool / inputWhat to check
Understandreference_analyze → job_submit → reference_analysis_getPreparation may return a cached result or ready input. Submit only ready input; analysis can incur model costs.
Choose the methodproduction_method_resolveDefine what changes and what must be preserved before choosing shots or a model.
Planproduction_plan_validate → production_plan_saveSave the target plan and required references.
Prepareproduction_shot_prompts → generation_prepareBind exact assets, model and output settings; resolve missing inputs.
Generatejob_submit → record_getSubmit authorized work once, then track the returned job.
Assemble and deliverworkspace_commit → workspace_resultRender the composition and return the video with its workspace link.

Record what was actually checked

Use media_inspect and media_review when visual inspection is part of the requested work. Keep technical validation separate from visual acceptance: a playable file with the right duration can still miss an action or cut. Optional director kits are starting points, not a guarantee of quality. For existing-footage editing, use the workspace flow without purchasing new footage.
