# Timeline Assembly
## Workflow
1. Read `../../references/EXECUTABLE_TIMELINE.md`, edit plan, editorial manifest, media approvals, finished picture, and audio-master path.
2. Write `05_post/timeline.json` for the main film or the equivalent timeline under a trailer/social deliverable directory.
3. Use event order as playback order.
4. Give every event an `EVT-###` ID, positive duration, source identity, and project-relative source path when required.
5. Resolve all placeholders and missing required media before final rendering.
6. Validate with `scripts/render_timeline.py PROJECT --timeline PATH --validate-only`.
7. Render only when the user requested actual output or the owning playbook requires a finished master.
## Weak-model rule
Do not invent transitions or timing to hide missing media. Hard cuts are the safe portable default.
## Done
The timeline can be reconstructed without chat history and contains no unresolved required picture event.

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.
Adversarial multi-agent planning skill. Self-orchestrates 5 hostile category members (unspecified-low, unspecified-high, deep, ultrabrain, artistry) via team-mode for ruthless cross-critique debate, distills only the defensible insights, then MANDATORILY hands the distilled insight bundle to the `plan` agent for executable plan formalization. Use when planning needs maximum rigor and surfacing of weak assumptions, blind spots, and over-engineering. Triggers: 'hyperplan', 'hpp', '/hyperplan', ...
Routes multi-tool workflows through MCP servers for large datasets and pipelines. Use when Bash tool overhead is limiting throughput on data-heavy tasks.
Recovers prior coding-agent session context by running `catchup <agent> --since-compact`, which extracts a clean summary of a previous Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity, OpenCode, or Pi Agent session. Use when the user says "catch up", "what did the last session do", "get me up to speed", "I switched agents", or asks to recover/summarize a previous session before continuing. Do NOT use for the current conversation, git history, or any non-agent log.
