### Exact post text

A timestamp is evidence. It is not automatic ownership.

That distinction matters whenever creators document provenance.

Watch the 31-second explanation, then use the full evidence checklist in the guide below.

## Certainty Gate

- Required: No; standard execution mode.
- Checked artifact version/hash: not required.
- Check 1 owner/process: not required.
- Check 1 evidence: not required.
- Check 1 verdict: NOT-REQUIRED.
- Check 2 owner/process: not required.
- Check 2 evidence: not required.
- Check 2 verdict: NOT-REQUIRED.
- Contradictions resolved: not required.
- Final certainty verdict: NOT-REQUIRED.

## Approval Gate

- Exact media approved: No.
- Exact post text approved: No.
- Exact guide and URL approved: No.
- Exact identity approved: No.
- Exact sequence approved: No.
- Approved by: not available.
- Approval timestamp: not available.

## Verification

- Package validation: Pending validator run.
- Live permalink: not available.
- Visible identity: not verified for live execution.
- Rendered media or source reference: not available.
- Guide readback: not performed.
- Publication timestamp: not available.
- Caveats: Illustrative example only; no live action is authorized.

# Clip-to-Guide Package Template

Use this structure for every durable package. Keep URLs and timestamps exact.
Use `not available` instead of inventing a value.
Max Effort and Worker Fleet packages need two distinct evidence records and a
final `PROVED` verdict before approval or publication.

# Third-Party Video Rights Review

Read this reference whenever the video is not demonstrably original, licensed,
or permission-recorded. This is a risk-recording workflow, not legal advice or
legal clearance.

## Current primary sources

- U.S. Copyright Office, Fair Use:
  https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html
- U.S. Copyright Office, Fair Use FAQ:
  https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-fairuse.html
- X Fair Use Policy:

- X Copyright Policy:
  https://help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies/copyright-policy

Verify these pages again when platform rules, jurisdiction, or the planned use
changes.

## Review sequence

1. Identify the likely copyright owner. The speaker, subject, uploader,
   organizer, camera operator, producer, and rights holder may be different
   people or entities.
2. Check the source page, event terms, license, press kit, and written
   permission. Record the evidence; do not treat silence as permission.
3. Prefer a native quote, repost, stitch, duet, embed, or link when it achieves
   the goal. This avoids making a new upload but does not create legal
   clearance.
4. If the campaign requires a copied excerpt without permission, record all
   four U.S. fair-use factors:
   - purpose and character, including what new commentary, criticism,
     explanation, or context is added;
   - nature of the copyrighted work;
   - amount and substantiality, including whether the excerpt takes the
     qualitative heart of the work;
   - effect on the actual or potential market, including whether the post acts
     as a substitute.
5. Use no more of the source than the documented commentary requires. There is
   no automatic safe duration, word count, or percentage.
6. Put the new analysis in the media or immediate presentation, not only in a
   distant guide. Preserve source credit, links, watermarks, and provenance.
7. Record the accountable owner's decision. If the factors remain uncertain or
   the use is commercially material, request qualified legal review.

## Decision states

- `native-repost-only` — use only the platform's built-in sharing route.
- `fair-use-review` — analysis is prepared; publication remains blocked until
  the accountable owner records a decision.
- `blocked` — the review does not support proceeding, the source owner objects,
  a prior takedown exists, or the decision owner is unavailable.

## Hard stops

Return the skill halt format when:

- ownership or source provenance cannot be identified;
- the planned post substitutes for the original work;
- the excerpt is longer than the commentary needs;
- the use relies only on credit, short duration, public availability, or
  "everyone does it";
- the same material was previously removed or the rights holder objected;
- the user asks the skill to guarantee fair use or immunity from a complaint.

X states that it cannot determine whether a use is fair use, that courts decide
case by case, and that repeat copyright complaints may lead to account
suspension. Keep those two risks visible in the approval bundle.
