# Directing Stickman Videos
## Two modes, one Skill
Keep the existing installation/name. Honor known choices; ask one short question if the requested deliverable is ambiguous. Before planning, read [mode execution boundaries](references/mode-execution-boundaries.md), then the selected route:
- **A · Director / A1–A5:** approved proposals and standalone video prompts. A1 maps to Style 1 light/dark, A2 to Style 2/2A/2B, A3–A5 to Styles 3–5. Follow the unchanged contract below.
- **A6 · Amber Noir:** read [A6](references/amber-noir.md) when selected, before planning; bypass the A1–A5 contract below. It owns reference-guided execution, Gemini Puck narration and finishing.
- **B · Autopilot:** read [Autopilot](references/autopilot.md), then B1 [Minimal Line Art](references/b1-minimal-handdrawn.md), B2 [Colorful Hand-Drawn](references/b2-colorful-handdrawn.md), or B3 [Retro TV](references/b3-television.md). A finished local video includes narration, semantic captions, illustrations, meaningful motion and SFX. Inspect B3's bundled implementation examples before authoring; original-video excerpts are not redistributed. Disclose missing private-original comparison rather than treating accepted examples as the style authority.
- **B4 · Survival Thriller:** read [B4](references/b4-survival-storytelling.md), [audio direction](references/b4-audio-direction.md), [opening direction](references/b4-opening-direction.md) and [production check](references/b4-repeatability-check.md). Preserve the white-glove reference lock; limb animation is not a completion requirement. Apply the first-three-second visual escalation gate and, for horror, the story-led horror visibility gate. Use fixed Brian, first-frame sound/early narration, a subtle continuous bed and causal SFX. Select B4 in the shared installed runtime. No silent title pad, automatic narrator substitution or alias to another style.
A and B share installation, not production contracts. The rules from **A · Director** to the end apply only to A1–A5, not to A6 or any B style. Each B owns its visuals, captions, voice, pacing and SFX; never default to B1 or import A's setup, ten-second clips, approval or visible-text rules. Preserve unrelated styles when revising one route.
B supports topics, promotion briefs, posts, articles and scripts. English narration is default; explicit language/voice choices prevail. Use the selected native named TTS voice without added voice/style descriptions by default; B4 permits story-motivated secondary-role acting, not automatic narrator tuning. Read the required [story-led sound system](references/autopilot-sound-system.md). Never automatically revoice accepted media.
