High-Confidence Command Sequence

slidevids whoami
slidevids renders create --timeline-id tmpl_123 --no-wait --json
slidevids renders wait render_xxx --interval 3 --timeout 900 --json
slidevids renders download render_xxx --output ./artifacts/render.mp4

Guardrails

  1. Prefer --json when outputs are consumed by other tooling.
  2. Keep secrets in env vars; do not paste raw keys into prompts.
  3. Ask Claude Code to stop on first non-zero exit and summarize error details.
