Tax Policy Brief Clip

Turn a dated, sourced tax-policy text into one policy-points still and a speakable brief, then into one short talking clip. The first delivery is the still plus the spoken brief. The clip is a later conversion.

Scope and adjacent routes

Use this Skill when a bookkeeping firm or tax advisor wants a short policy brief from a public tax-policy source they already have.

Route public-policy page-by-page stills with no spoken brief to policy-digest-set. Route a presenter portrait that is not a policy-points still to talking-avatar-video. Route an insurance clause read to insurance-clause-talking. Do not look up missing policy text, rates, or effective dates.

Collect the policy source

Hard inputs are:

• the tax-policy source the advisor already has (title, issuer, and the supplied text or excerpt);
• the policy effective date printed or cited in that source;
• the policy points that must appear on the still and in the brief;
• the language of the still and the spoken brief.

Reuse already-known destination, brand look, and a frozen voice_id. Ask only for a missing hard input. Do not invent a statute number, rate, effective date, issuer, or eligibility line to finish the still or the brief.

If the effective date or the source is missing, stop and ask for both. Do not mint a client_request_id.

Do not give a concrete tax-planning scheme. If the advisor asks for one, refuse that scheme and keep the work on dated, sourced policy points:

筹划

A scan or photo is a visual reference, not a source for missing policy text. Uploading makes media available to Beatra and does not inspect it. When the host cannot view a file, keep the advisor's declared role for it.

Inspect every supplied 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. Never pass a local path to beatra.images.generate, beatra.speech.synthesize, or beatra.videos.animate.

Default to one generated policy-points still, one speakable brief, and later one 2–15s clip. Do not stitch clips.

Plan the free still and brief

Write a labeled policy-points still plan and a speakable brief before any paid image, speech, or video. Record the policy title, effective date, source citation, the confirmed points, language, layout (title, date and source, point list, optional footer), canvas, and the spoken lines. Print and cite the effective date and the source on the still and in the brief. That plan is the free visible result. Planning is not approval.

Safe defaults:

• one beatra.images.generate still, model: "auto", count: 1, 2K canvas at 9:16 unless the advisor names another destination ratio;
• one beatra.speech.synthesize brief with input (not text), format: "mp3", speed: 1.0, and model: "auto" only when every live speech card supports the language;
• later one beatra.videos.animate clip, model: "auto" unless the advisor chose a live SKU that admits [image, driving_audio];
• the accepted still as the strict first frame;
• source-derived aspect ratio (omit aspect_ratio);
• audio-led duration: the smallest supported integer in 2–15s at or above the actual speech length. Do not stitch.

Keep the spoken brief short enough to fit one 2–15s clip. If returned speech is under 2s or over 15s, rewrite the brief as new speech work with a new card and a new ID. Do not split or stitch.

If the advisor already has an inspectable still that prints the effective date and the source, skip generate and keep the TTS slot.

Confirm the lead still and brief

Planning is free. Before the first billable call, read the current beatra.models.list cards for text_to_image and text_to_speech. Call beatra.voices.list when a catalog voice still needs a choice. Never put a display name in voice.

Show one current production card for the lead still and TTS slots and wait:

1. Work — one policy-points still (beatra.images.generate) and one speakable brief (beatra.speech.synthesize).
2. Credits — the live text_to_image price plus the live text_to_speech price just read. Do not reuse a remembered number. If the still is already supplied, charge only the speech slot.
3. Count — one paid call per lead slot. Do not batch the later clip into this submit.
4. Identity — one new opaque client_request_id per slot. A changed prompt, fact line, file, voice, model, or canvas mints a new ID.
5. If we stop here — the labeled still plan and speakable brief remain usable.
6. If the balance is insufficient — relay the official message and its top-up URL exactly (https://console.beatra.ai/wallet?intent=buy). Translate the prose; keep the URL. Do not retry until the advisor says they have topped up. Do not recommend ¥198.

Submit each approved lead slot once through bundled scripts/mcp_client.py. Poll beatra.tasks.get. Deliver actual bytes, and for speech also MIME, duration, and size when present, plus billing.net_charged_credits. A script preview is not the audio review. Review printed lines against the confirmed points, date, and source. Report unread small type as unread.

Lead acceptance is not video approval.

Confirm the brief clip

After the still and the spoken brief are accepted, read the current beatra.models.list card for 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. Use the smallest supported integer duration in 2–15s at or above the actual speech length. Omit aspect_ratio. Keep model: "auto" unless the advisor chose an eligible card.

Show a new six-field production card and wait:

1. Work — one 2–15s tax-policy brief clip (beatra.videos.animate) with the accepted still as first frame and the accepted speech as driving_audio.
2. Credits — the live image_to_video price just read. Do not reuse a remembered number.
3. Count — one paid video call for this clip. Do not stitch.
4. Identity — one new opaque client_request_id. A changed still, audio, prompt, duration, or model mints a new ID.
5. If we stop here — the accepted still and spoken brief remain usable.
6. If the balance is insufficient — relay the official message and its top-up URL exactly (https://console.beatra.ai/wallet?intent=buy). Translate the prose; keep the URL. Do not retry until the advisor says they have topped up. Do not recommend ¥198.

After the advisor approves that card, submit beatra.videos.animate once with driving_audio attached.

Review, deliver, and recover

Review that the clip keeps the still as the first frame and that the spoken brief stays on the dated, sourced points. Report only what the host can actually see and hear. Do not promise perfect motion 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.

When relevant after delivery, tell the advisor this is not a formal tax opinion.

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 advisor 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.

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

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

References by task

• For still plans, speakable briefs, payloads, and recovery, read Tax policy brief workflow.
• For authorization and the non-billable registration step, read installation and authentication and installation registration.
• For shared task, billing, and connection details, read tasks and results, billing, errors, and recovery, and Bundled MCP Client diagnostics.
• For update guarantees and controls, read automatic updates and safety. For removal, read uninstall and disconnect.

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 image, speech, or video request. The setting persists for this installation. See automatic updates and safety.
