About this skill

Emulo video

  1. Locate emulo.py two directories above this skill; fall back to ./emulo.py only for a direct repo checkout.
  2. Store the resolved absolute runtime path as EMULO_PY, then run python "$EMULO_PY" plugin profile-path --domain video.
  3. If it exits nonzero, give its exact recovery or targeted-deepen instruction and stop loading personal context.
  4. Read every returned path completely. The first is the core working profile; the second is the video profile. Apply both.
  5. Never substitute a generic video or creative persona when the video domain is inactive.

When not to use it

  • Unrelated execution tasks
  • Backend development work
  • Marketing copy generation alone

Prerequisites

emulo.py script located two directories above or in current path

Limitations

  • Requires active video domain profile
  • Cannot substitute generic personas when domain is inactive
