image-video-audio

Use this for reference-led media work. Skip it for conceptual questions or edits meant for another tool. The user's explicit instructions come first, within host safety rules.

1. Identify the reference and the output they want.
   • Saved Glif media: find the project with list_projects if needed, then read it with get_project. Ask which item to use when it is unclear.
   • A new file: see step 4.
   • Never assume ownership from a URL, and never reveal whether another account's project exists.
2. Draft a brief:
   • Image to video: subject motion, camera move, length and framing. "One continuous shot, no cuts" helps for orbits and bullet time.
   • Product photo to ad: keep the product identical; only the camera, light and setting move.
   • Song or voice to video: which parts are sung or spoken, the look, and where lipsync is needed.
   • Driving video: which character takes over the motion, and what stays from the original (camera, timing, sound).
   • Room photo: the style to stage or renovate in, and whether to add a walkthrough video.
   • Reference video for structure: copy its pacing, shot order and hook only. Never copy its people, footage, logos or brand.
   • Matching audio: mood, timing, and whether it needs speech or music. Ask about missing creative choices only when they matter. Use a real person's face, body or voice only with their consent. Ask whose face to use; never pick one yourself.
3. Picking media prepares context. It does not approve spending. If the user has not asked to generate, show the draft and wait. Glif creates new files; it never overwrites the source.
4. Upload a new reference only after the user agrees to send it to Glif. Use upload_file:
   • A public http(s) link: pass it as url.
   • A host-provided file object: pass it as file.
   • A local file with shell access, such as in Claude Code: pass only filename (plus kind if the extension is unclear). Run the returned command with the real path in place of <YOUR_FILE_PATH>.
   • A small local file (under 1 MiB) without shell access: pass base64 and filename.
   • If you cannot reach the bytes, ask for a supported attachment. Do not invent a download link. Pass the returned fileUrl in compose_project's attachments. Do not re-upload media that is already in a Glif project.
5. For saved media, pass the project's project_id and name the chosen item in the brief.
6. Call compose_project once with the reviewed brief, attachments and project_id. Share the projectUrl. Call get_job_status with the jobId as job_id until the job finishes, and show new media as it arrives without repeats.
7. Report the result or the failure. Never start another run while one is working, and never retry automatically. A new variation needs its own explicit request.
