# Production Operations Skill (Tier 3)

> **This Is the Assembly Line of Dreamweaving**

This tier contains all operational skills for producing finished hypnotic sessions.

---

## Purpose

Execute the technical production pipeline from script to YouTube-ready package.

These skills are loaded based on the specific task being performed.

---

## Sub-Skills

| Skill | Location | Loads When |
|-------|----------|------------|
| **SSML Generation** | `ssml-generation/` | Script writing tasks |
| **Voice Synthesis** | `voice-synthesis/` | Audio generation tasks |
| **Audio Mixing** | `audio-mixing/` | Post-voice mixing tasks |
| **Video Assembly** | `video-assembly/` | Video creation tasks |
| **YouTube Packaging** | `youtube-packaging/` | Publication preparation |
| **Session Creation** | `session-creation/` | New session initialization |

## Pipeline Flow

```
Session Init → SSML Script → Voice TTS → Audio Mix → Video Assembly → YouTube Package

## Quick Reference

### Full Build Command
```bash
/full-build {session}
```

### Individual Stages
```bash
/generate-script {session}   # SSML generation
/build-audio {session}       # Voice + mixing
/build-video {session}       # Video assembly
```

### Validation
