v0.1.0 — renamed to hve-video-director (reinstall required)

⚠️ This release renames the skill. You must reinstall.

npx skills update does not complete this rename. Because the old repository URL
redirects, update resolves the new SKILL.md and installs hve-video-director alongside
your existing hve-spielberg — then reports ✓ Updated 1 skill(s) without removing the old
directory or its lock entry.

You are left with both: a live 0.1.0 and a stale 0.0.4 that still declares the old name and
is still loadable by your agent. It also never converges — every later update reports the same
pending update again. Remove the old install explicitly:

npx skills remove hve-spielberg --global
npx skills add nebrass/hve-video-director --global

git clone and Claude Code plugin-marketplace installs need different steps — see
MIGRATION.md.

▶ Watch the 60-second explainer — the stale install, the fix, and what is unaffected. Produced end-to-end by hve-video-director v0.1.0 itself.

Why the rename

The previous name referenced a living public figure, which carried trademark and
right-of-publicity exposure and implied an endorsement that never existed. The new name describes
what the skill actually does, pairing an explicit domain (video) with the role it performs
(director) — the <domain>-<role> convention common to published agent skills.

	Before	After
Invocation	/hve-spielberg	/hve-video-director
Repository	nebrass/hve-spielberg	nebrass/hve-video-director
Install dir	<skills-home>/hve-spielberg/	<skills-home>/hve-video-director/
Plugin name	hve-spielberg	hve-video-director

The old repository URL redirects, and stars, forks, issues, and releases are preserved.

What did not change

Existing generated video projects keep working. Project scaffolding never embedded the skill
name — templates/ contains no reference to it — so your project-plan.md, .hve/brief-state.json,
storyboard.md, DESIGN.md, and scenes are unaffected. No phase, workflow, script, CLI flag, or
file format changed. This release is a rename plus documentation; the pipeline behaves identically.

Added

• Rename-resilient skill resolution — if a git clone install is left under its old directory
  name, the $SKILL_DIR probes now fall back to matching the skill's declared frontmatter name
  instead of failing mid-pipeline at Phase 3. Matching identity rather than file layout means no
  unrelated skill sharing a skills home can be selected. Covered by 9 new unit tests and verified
  against real installs.
• MIGRATION.md — per-runtime upgrade guide.
• TRADEMARKS.md — nominative attribution for every third-party mark
  the skill references, a statement that the design-systems/ presets are original written
  descriptions rather than copied brand assets, and the licensing terms that attach to generated
  output (CC0/CC-BY music, ElevenLabs terms, and responsibility for captured screen content).

Also in this release

The end-to-end pipeline hardening from
#22, which was not separately
changelogged: a revision-aware Creative Brief that persists and validates user-owned creative
choices, reviewed-caption delivery, native screen capture, and a Creative Brief migration flow for
legacy projects.

Example video

hve-video-director-example-v0.1.0.mp4
is attached below — the 53-second reference build, rendered by this skill from
example/ and carrying the new
branding. Reproduce it with python3 example/voiceover.py && npx hyperframes render . --output out/final.mp4 --quality high.

Note: the promo linked from the README is hosted on YouTube and was recorded before the
rename, so it still shows the former branding. It remains accurate about the pipeline itself.
