Rules

• HEBREW REQUIRES eleven_v3 — it is the ONLY model that supports Hebrew (verified via /v1/models). eleven_multilingual_v2 produces gibberish for Hebrew (learned 2026-06-12). English can use either.
• Mind the quota: 131k chars/month shared across ALL agents. A 1-minute voiceover ≈ 700 chars.
  Don’t TTS long articles wholesale — summarize first, or ask Yossef.
• Voiceover for Remotion videos: generate mp3 → place in the project’s assets → sync timing.
• Music/SFX (background tracks, sound effects) → separate skill elevenlabs-audio.
