5## Preamble
6 
7Run from the repository root when the optional shared telemetry helpers are present:
8 
9```bash
10python3 telemetry/version_check.py 2>/dev/null || true
11python3 telemetry/telemetry_init.py 2>/dev/null || true
12```
13 
14Remote telemetry is opt-in and never includes content, file paths, repository names, or credentials.
15 
16## Establish the package
17 
18Read `references/project-contract.md`. Locate the exact source recordings, transcript, idea card or brief, proof assets, and screen recordings. Never substitute another recording, brand, account, or asset library.
19 
20Initialize a new project only when the destination is clear:
21 
22```bash
23python3 scripts/net_new_video_editor.py init --project <project-dir>
24```
25 
26Copy or point only user-authorized inputs into the generated package. Preserve originals.
27 
28## Inspect before editing
29 
30Run:
31 
32```bash
33python3 scripts/net_new_video_editor.py inspect --project <project-dir>
34```
35 
36Review `intake-report.json`. Stop when the package has no playable take, the requested target does not match the supplied footage, or required external assets are missing.
37 
38## Build the edit plan
39 
40Use the transcript and brief to create `edit-plan-clean.json`. Treat the spoken hook and claim boundaries as ground truth.
41 
42- Select one source take explicitly.
