v2.2.1: Clip references in every prompt, and install from the plugin marketplace

A small update to 2.2. No new styles, and the production method is unchanged apart from how prompts are labelled.

Every prompt starts with its pack reference. When working from a prompt pack, each prompt now opens with the reference the pack declares for it, in square brackets: [Clip 12] for a video prompt, [Image 12A] for a start image, [Clip 12 TEST 1] for a test variant. This replaces the optional caption label ("Harbour Run clip four, the landing."). Library tiles show the first words of a prompt, so the reference is what matches each tile and take to the pack, and how takes are reported ("Clip 12, take 3").

  • The pack declares a reference for every start image and clip, and keeps them stable once generation starts. Alternates get their own reference (Clip 12B), never a reused one.
  • The digits rule allows digits in the reference as well as the [ACTION] time labels.
  • For custom styles, the style anchor goes straight after the reference, before [REFERENCE USE].
  • The templates, worked example, browser workflow and styles index are updated to match, and the failure table has a new row for takes that can't be matched to their clip.

Install from the plugin marketplace. The repo is now a plugin marketplace for Claude Desktop and ChatGPT. Add ratava/videoexpress-scripting-skill once and install VideoExpress Scripting from it; in Claude Desktop, updates arrive automatically while Sync automatically is on. To support this, each build's skill folder moved into a plugin root: claude/skills/videoexpress-scripting/ and chatgpt/skills/videoexpress-scripting/, with plugin manifests alongside.

Docs. New wiki walkthroughs with screenshots: Install in Claude Desktop and Install in ChatGPT, plus a Requirements and Recommendations page. The ChatGPT guide was briefly titled "ChatGPT Codex"; the skill is for ChatGPT, and the old link now points to the renamed page.

Upgrading. Marketplace installs pick this up on their next sync. If you use the zip, remove the old skill and upload the new one; if you copy the folder from the repo, note the new path above.

Both builds (Claude, ChatGPT) are identical in substance. Scope remains VideoExpress 3.5 and later.
