Role cue
A marker attached to words that assigns them to a speaker or role — host, guest, narrator — so lines, looks and captions route correctly.
Definition
A marker attached to words that assigns them to a speaker or role — host, guest, narrator — so lines, looks and captions route correctly.
Why it matters
Multi-speaker clips stay editable when roles are explicit: change the guest and the layout still knows who is talking.
Where it shows up in Hypit
Roles are written inline with @role or <D | Dee> style cues and consumed by per-speaker tracks.

FAQ
Is role cue specific to Hypit?
The idea is general to video workflows; the way it is expressed here follows how Hypit models projects, so the term maps to something you can actually edit.
Where can I see it in practice?
The quickstart walks through a full clone, and the clone-format pages show the same concept used in a real structure.
Do I need the paid API for this?
No. The agent tooling is free and open source; the managed API is optional.
