# Xiaohongshu Policy Talking

Turn Xiaohongshu policy-question notes into one talking policy clip
per still. Deliver 2 to 8 clips. Do not stitch them. Speak only
public-policy lines the desk already wrote. Do not invent a subsidy
amount, eligibility, or a personal grant.

## Scope and adjacent routes

Use this Skill when a street-office or civil-affairs desk wants
short talking clips that answer public Xiaohongshu policy-question
notes with an already-written public-policy draft.

Route Xiaohongshu hall materials stills to
`xiaohongshu-hall-faq-stills`. Route a wealth-product FAQ note read
to `xiaohongshu-wealth-faq-talking`. Route a generic presenter to
`talking-avatar-video`.

This package reads Xiaohongshu policy-question notes and makes talking
clips. It does not post on Xiaohongshu. If this connection has no
Xiaohongshu note or comment operation, work from pasted questions only.

## Collect the notes

Hard inputs are:

- either a public Xiaohongshu note link or search wording the host
  can open, or the original policy-question notes already copied;
- already-written public-policy facts the desk supplied (what the
  clip may say; no invented subsidy, eligibility, or personal grant);
- at least one accessible still the host Agent can inspect — a
  presenter portrait or a policy graphic that will be the first
  frame;
- likeness and voice rights when a face or a cloned voice will
  appear;
- how many clips the pack should contain, or permission to use the
  default of 3.

Reuse already-known language, window names, and a frozen
`voice_id`. Ask only for a missing hard input. A count outside 2 to
8 is still doable: confirm that pack size and its live cost.

Do not invent a note question, subsidy amount, eligibility rule, or
personalized grant line. File access is not consent.

Inspect every still. Record MIME type, width, height, aspect ratio,
byte size, and whether it has an alpha channel. For a local file,
upload only through the bundled client after inspection
(`scripts/mcp_client.py` / `beatra.assets.upload`). Keep the returned
artifact id. Never pass a local path to `beatra.voices.clone`,
`beatra.speech.synthesize`, or `beatra.videos.animate`.

## Plan the free slot list

Write a labeled note-to-talking list before any paid lookup,
clone, speech, or video. Default three slots unless the desk
names another count in 2 to 8. Each slot records the original
policy-question wording, the speakable line from the supplied public
draft, the still, intended length as a 2–15s clip, and whether it
uses a catalog voice, an approved track, or a clone.

That list is the free visible result from whatever the desk
already pasted. Planning is not approval.

Safe defaults:

- one `beatra.videos.animate` call per still;
- `model: "auto"` unless the desk chose a live SKU;
- the still as the strict first frame;
- source-derived aspect ratio;
- audio-led duration inside 2–15s. Do not stitch.

## Look up notes on their own card

A note link or search wording does not authorize a lookup. When the
desk wants this connection to read public Xiaohongshu policy-question
notes or comments, follow
[policy note lookup](references/note-lookup.md): search,
inspect, then show a six-field lookup card and wait:

1. Work — one public Xiaohongshu note search, note read, or comment
   page for the named policy FAQ (`beatra.social.execute` with the
   inspected `operation_key`).
2. Credits — the live price `beatra.social.tools.get` just returned.
   Quote that live number, not a remembered one.
3. Count — one prepaid lookup. A note search is its own billed
   execute. An image-note or video-note read is another. The comment
   page is another. The next page is another charge.
4. Identity — one new opaque `client_request_id` per execute.
5. If we stop here — the pasted-question plan remains usable.
6. If the balance is insufficient — relay the official message and
   its top-up URL exactly. Translate the prose; keep the URL. Do
   not retry until the desk says they have topped up.

Do not show `schema_hash` to the desk. A confirmed lookup does
not authorize clone, speech, or video. After a terminal lookup,
report the payload, task ID, terminal status, and
`billing.net_charged_credits`. A lookup has no model, dimensions, or
duration to report.

## Confirm clone, speech, then video

Clone, speech, and video are separate paid stages. Each stage gets
its own six-field card and its own opaque `client_request_id` per
slot.

If the desk wants a cloned voice, inspect an authorized sample,
read the live `voice_clone` card, and wait on the clone card before
`beatra.voices.clone`. A found file is not clone consent. Show the
clone card and wait:

1. Work — one authorized voice sample (`beatra.voices.clone`).
2. Credits — the live `voice_clone` price just read. Do not reuse a
   remembered number.
3. Count — one paid clone call for this sample.
4. Identity — one new opaque `client_request_id`.
5. If we stop here — the labeled slot list remains usable.
6. If the balance is insufficient — relay the official message and
   its top-up URL exactly. Translate the prose; keep the URL. Do
   not retry until the desk says they have topped up.

Before speech, call `beatra.models.list` for `text_to_speech`:

```json
{"capability": "text_to_speech"}
```

Use `beatra.voices.list` when a catalog voice still needs a choice.
Show the speech card and wait:

1. Work — one spoken public-policy line per named slot
   (`beatra.speech.synthesize`).
2. Credits — the live `text_to_speech` price just read, times the
   slot count. Do not reuse a remembered number.
3. Count — one paid speech call per slot.
4. Identity — one new opaque `client_request_id` per slot.
5. If we stop here — the labeled slot list remains usable.
6. If the balance is insufficient — relay the official message and
   its top-up URL exactly. Translate the prose; keep the URL. Do
   not retry until the desk says they have topped up.

Submit each speech slot once through bundled `scripts/mcp_client.py`
with `input`, not `text`. Use `format: "mp3"` and `speed: 1.0`. Use
`model: "auto"` only when every live speech card supports the
language. Poll `beatra.tasks.get`. Read actual audio MIME, duration,
and size, and `billing.net_charged_credits`. A script preview is
not the audio review.

Before video, call `beatra.models.list` for `image_to_video`:

```json
{"capability": "image_to_video"}
```

Confirm a current card admits `[image, driving_audio]`. Compare every
image fact and the real audio MIME, duration, and size with advertised
limits. Live driving-audio clips are 2–15s. If speech is longer than
the longest containable clip, split into sequential containable
segments; each segment is new speech and new video, each with a new
ID. Do not stitch the segments into one file. Approved narration does
not authorize video. The 600-credit signup gift usually cannot start
this video. Show the video card and wait:

1. Work — one talking policy clip per named still
   (`beatra.videos.animate`).
2. Credits — the live `image_to_video` price just read, times the
   segment count. Do not reuse a remembered number.
3. Count — one paid video call per approved audio segment.
4. Identity — one new opaque `client_request_id` per segment.
5. If we stop here — the slot list and approved narration remain
   usable.
6. If the balance is insufficient — relay the official message and
   its top-up URL exactly. Translate the prose; keep the URL. Do
   not retry until the desk says they have topped up.

Then submit `beatra.videos.animate` once per approved segment with
`driving_audio` attached.

## Review, deliver, and recover

Review that each clip stays on the supplied public-policy line and
that the still is the first frame. Report only what the host can
actually see and hear. Do not promise perfect lip sync. Never
invent a stitch, concat, or editor tool. After each terminal paid
task, deliver actual bytes plus MIME, duration, and size when
present, and `billing.net_charged_credits`. Do not promise the
prepaid estimate is the final charge.

After a returned `task_id`, poll that task. If the create response is
lost, search with `beatra.tasks.list` and verify with
`beatra.tasks.get` before replay. Reuse an ID only with
byte-identical arguments. A changed still, line, voice, or duration
is a new card and a new ID. Cancel only when the desk asks.

## Execution

Invoke every remote Beatra operation only through this package's bundled
`scripts/mcp_client.py`. Put the MCP tool name after `call` and send one
JSON object on standard input.

```bash
python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.models.list
```

```json
{"capability": "text_to_speech"}
```

```bash
python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.models.list
```

```json
{"capability": "image_to_video"}
```

```text
printf '%s' '{"query":"notes","platform":"xiaohongshu","capability_family":"content"}' | python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.social.tools.search
```

```text
printf '%s' '{"input":"Open on the approved public-policy line. Keep the desk-supplied wording.","voice":"voice-ready-01","format":"mp3","speed":1.0,"model":"auto","client_request_id":"opaque-policy-speech-01"}' | python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.speech.synthesize
```

```text
printf '%s' '{"image":{"type":"artifact","artifact_id":"art-policy-01"},"driving_audio":{"type":"artifact","artifact_id":"art-speech-01"},"prompt":"A restrained public-policy read with steady eye line and a stable camera.","duration":8,"client_request_id":"opaque-policy-video-01"}' | python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.videos.animate
```

Do not configure or call a host Beatra Connector, and do not use
REST/OpenAPI as a fallback.

## Account balance

When the user asks how many credits remain or whether a live estimate fits,
call `beatra.wallet.get`. When they ask what was charged, call
`beatra.wallet.ledger`. Both are read-only. Do not invent an account-balance or
top-up tool. Do not make `wallet.get` a required step before every paid submit.

When a model card comes back carrying a `top_up` block, relay its tiers as the
card lists them and in that order. Do not rank them, do not talk one down, and
do not pick one for the user. Which tier suits them is their call, made on
the wallet page with the whole list in front of them. Never quote a tier from
memory.

## Runtime and safe automatic updates

The bundled client silently checks for a newer release at most once
every 24 hours per installation. When a newer version is available, it
installs automatically without separate confirmation. It downloads only
from the fixed official Beatra discovery and immutable CDN paths for
this package, channel, and locale, verifies discovery data, archive,
manifest, and every packaged file, and replaces only package-owned
files.

Update checks, downloads, verification, replacement, rollback, and
recovery fail open: the current installation remains usable and the
original command continues. An update failure never authorizes retrying
a paid lookup, clone, speech, or video request. The setting persists
for this installation. See
[automatic updates and safety](references/automatic-updates-and-safety.md).

```text
python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --auto off
python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --auto on
python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --check
