15 tools

• read_docs

  Return a canonical Clipkit doc as text. topic "card" = the ~8KB compact authoring card — the recommended context for authoring; "pattern-lighting" = the shine/neon/glow technique rigs; "pattern-data-viz" / "pattern-cinematic-ui" / "pattern-ui-screencast" / "pattern-promo-teaser"…

• get_schema

  Return the authoritative JSON Schema for a Clipkit Source — exact field names, types, and enums, generated from the protocol. Call with no argument for the full Source schema, or with element_type (e.g. "text", "shape", "particles") for just that element's fields (much smaller)…

• create_project

  Create a new, blank Clipkit project with the given dimensions and duration, and return its project_id. Defaults: 1920×1080, 10 seconds, 30 fps, output_format "mp4". Call this first when starting a new video. Pass an existing project_id to reset that project to blank; omit it to…

• get_project

  Return the full current Clipkit source as JSON. Use this to inspect the project, pass it to a render pipeline, or compose follow-up edits.

• describe_project

  Return a compact, human-readable summary of the current project — dimensions, fps, duration, an element breakdown by type, a per-track timeline (paint order low→high), and render-time warnings. Much cheaper to read than get_project's full JSON; use it to orient yourself or…

• set_project

  Replace the entire project with the given source JSON, returning its project_id. This is the PRIMARY way to build: use it to create a composition or to add/change many elements at once. (To tweak a single element in an existing project, use edit_element / add_element /…

• add_element

  Append a single element to an existing project — a TWEAK, e.g. dropping in one more caption or shape. By default it is added at the top level; pass parent_id to add it INTO a group (nested). The element is any valid schema element: video, image, text, shape, audio, group…

• edit_element

  Change fields on the element with the given id by merging in a partial element — only the keys you include change. The id may be any element ANYWHERE in the tree, including one nested inside a group (or its mask). Pass a whole nested value (e.g. a new `keyframe_animations`…

• delete_element

  Delete the element with the given id, anywhere in the tree (including one nested inside a group or its mask) — a tweak to an existing composition. (The project must keep at least one top-level element.)

• validate_project

  Run the @clipkit/protocol validator against the current project AND surface render-time warnings even when the JSON is valid — things that pass the schema but the runtime will silently drop or clip: emoji / non-ASCII text (the runtime font atlas is ASCII-only), elements that run…

• preview_still

  Render a single frame of the current project to a PNG and return it as an image you can look at. This is how you check your work — in chat there is no other way to see what a composition actually looks like. Use it liberally: after composing, after edits, and at different times…

• create_promo

  Assemble a designed-looking promo/intro/product/data video from the Clipkit pattern library: give an ordered list of SCENES and the words, and it bakes in the camera, glass, lighting, motion blur, timing, and layout, then returns an editor link. This is a FAST option when a…

• open_in_editor

  Validate the current project and create a link that opens it in the Clipkit web editor, where the user can preview and refine it. This shares the PROJECT (nothing is rendered — that's render_video). Use after composing or editing. Returns a URL.

• ingest_asset

  Fetch a remote media URL (image/video/audio) and HOST it on Clipkit, returning a stable asset_url to put in an element's `url`. Use this so the project's media survives — the original link may rot, be private, or block hotlinking. Anonymous projects allow up to 5 hosted assets /…

• load_project

  Import a previously shared project as the current project, by its share id or its editor URL (e.g. https://clipkit.dev/editor?id=…), returning its project_id. Use this to continue working on a project the user opened in the editor or shared earlier — the round-trip for…
