Using SlideVids CLI With Codex

Codex-oriented workflow templates for prompt-to-command execution.

Audience: developer 
Use the SlideVids CLI and execute cautiously.
Goal: render timeline tmpl_123 and save output to ./artifacts/render.mp4.
Requirements:
- Print each command before execution.
- Verify auth first.
- Use --json where useful.
- Stop and summarize on failure.

Execution Template

slidevids whoami --json
slidevids timelines get tmpl_123 --json
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

Codex Reliability Tips

  1. Request explicit timeout/retry behavior before execution.
  2. Keep commands idempotent where possible.
  3. Persist terminal output for debugging in CI artifacts.
