# Glossary

Every defined term from the source, with a one-line definition and a link to its full note.

## Concepts

- **Agent Skills** — Machine-readable documentation and rule sets installed locally to teach AI agents how to correctly use specific frameworks or libraries. → [[concept-agent-skills]]
- **Automated Brand Asset System** — A structured local directory (Brand Voice + Design Kit + Asset Folder) ensuring AI-generated content stays on-brand. → [[concept-brand-asset-system]]
- **Claude Code** — An AI-powered command-line interface by Anthropic that acts as an autonomous agent to write code, execute commands, and orchestrate workflows. → [[concept-claude-code]]
- **CLI-Driven Video Editing (contrarian)** — The thesis that video editing is shifting from GUI timelines to CLI prompts and code. → [[contrarian-cli-video-editing]]
- **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** — An open standard enabling AI models to securely interact with external tools, APIs, and local environments. → [[concept-mcp]]
- **Programmatic Video Editing** — Editing video and audio using code, scripts, and AI models (Whisper, FFmpeg) rather than manual GUI editors. → [[concept-programmatic-video]]
- **Remotion** — A framework for creating videos programmatically using React, enabling AI agents to generate and edit video by writing code. → [[concept-remotion]]
- **Short-Form Video Safe Zones** — The central area of a vertical (9:16) frame where text and graphics won't be obscured by platform UI overlays. → [[concept-safe-zones]]

## Claims

- **Claim: Local execution efficiency** — Local execution of AI video generation is vastly more efficient than cloud services. *(Partially supported; context-dependent.)* → [[claim-local-execution-efficiency]]
- **Claim: AI fact-checking** — LLM agents can autonomously fact-check content during video creation. *(Conceptually supported; reliability still emerging.)* → [[claim-ai-fact-checking]]
- **Claim: Automated blooper removal** — AI can programmatically detect and remove bloopers and silences from raw video. *(Strongly supported for silences; emerging for complex bloopers.)* → [[claim-automated-blooper-removal]]

## Framework

- **The 4-Step Automated Content Pipeline** — Create motion graphics → insert images/screenshots → edit existing video → post to social media, all orchestrated by Claude Code. → [[framework-automated-content-pipeline]]

## Entities

- **Sabrina Ramanov** — Speaker; founder of Blotato; previously built and sold an AI company. → [[entity-sabrina-ramanov]]
- **Claude Code (Anthropic)** — AI CLI tool that orchestrates the entire pipeline. → [[entity-product-claude-code]]
- **Remotion** — React-based video framework; provides the Agent Skill that teaches Claude Code to write valid Remotion code. → [[entity-product-remotion]]
- **Perplexity** — AI search engine; used via MCP for live fact-checking. → [[entity-product-perplexity]]
- **Blotato** — Sabrina Ramanov's social media scheduling tool; exposes an MCP server for cross-platform publishing. → [[entity-product-blotato]]
- **Whisper (OpenAI)** — Open-source automatic speech recognition system; used locally to transcribe video audio for programmatic editing. → [[entity-product-whisper]]

## Quotes

- *"Claude just changed content creation forever..."* — opening hook framing the thesis. → [[quote-claude-changed-creation]]
- *"...running locally on your computer."* — articulation of the local-first efficiency argument. → [[quote-local-execution]]
- *"You don't have to explicitly type it to trigger it."* — how Agent Skills are invoked implicitly. → [[quote-implicit-triggering]]

## Action Items

- **Install the Remotion Agent Skill** — Run `npx skills add remotion-dev/skills`. → [[action-install-remotion-skill]]
- **Prompt for Safe Zones** — Include "use short-form video safe zones" in prompts. → [[action-prompt-safe-zones]]
- **Create a Local Brand Asset System** — Build Brand Voice file, Design Kit, and Asset Folder. → [[action-setup-brand-assets]]
- **Prompt Claude to Fact-Check Before Rendering** — Embed an explicit QA step using Perplexity MCP. → [[action-fact-check-prompt]]

## Prerequisites

- **Basic Terminal/CLI Navigation** — Ability to open a terminal, navigate directories, and run commands. → [[prereq-terminal-basics]]
- **Node.js and npm Installed** — Required for Remotion and skill distribution. → [[prereq-node-npm]]

## Open Questions

- **Handling Complex, Non-Programmatic Edits** — How well can the pipeline handle narrative timing, color grading, multi-cam? → [[question-complex-video-edits]]
- **Cost of Scaling API Calls** — What does a 30-day automated calendar actually cost in Anthropic + Perplexity tokens? → [[question-api-costs-scaling]]

## Adjacent Terminology (Referenced from Enrichment, Not Defined in Source)

- **FFmpeg** — Open-source audio/video processing framework; used by Claude Code's scripts to slice and concatenate video.
- **FiVE Benchmark** — Fine-grained Video Editing Benchmark; relevant for evaluating generative video pipelines.
- **SST-EM** — Semantic, Spatial, Temporal Evaluation Metric for AI-edited video; correlates closely with human quality judgments.
- **Toolformer** — Schick et al. (2023); foundational research showing LMs can learn to call APIs.
- **ReAct / AutoGPT** — Agentic frameworks where LLMs interleave reasoning and tool-use, analogous to Claude Code's MCP orchestration.
- **Disfluency Detection** — NLP subfield identifying speech repairs, restarts, and filler words from transcripts.
