Changelog Video

Turn a weekly changelog markdown into a finished branded video, roughly 45 to 60 seconds, square 1080 format, with an Annie voiceover, an animated background, and lowkey captions. The skill is self-contained: fonts, background video, pronunciation lexicon, and scaffold all ship with it, so you don't need to assemble brand assets yourself. Its main opinion is that changelog themes should be shown as animated mocks of the actual UI rather than bullet lists, and it enforces that through a visualization registry that routes each theme before any script is written. Expect a strict pipeline. It won't let you skip bootstrapping from its own scaffold, and it will stop if word-level timestamps are missing or a term isn't in the lexicon. That friction is deliberate and it's what keeps the output on-brand. You'll need the HeyGen CLI authenticated for the voiceover step, and rendering only happens when you ask for it.

Input: a changelog .md (themes + items, like the weekly HyperFrames digest). Output: a lint-clean, seam-gate-green HyperFrames project in projects/active/weekly-changelog-<range>/. Render only when asked.

Load first, non-negotiable: motion-doctrine (+ cut-the-curve, oversized-cursor if a cursor appears, seam-craft) and captions-overlay. This skill supplies the changelog-specific pipeline; the doctrine supplies the motion law.

The prime directive: visualize, don't list

Every theme is illustrated by an animated mock of the actual UI or a faithful analog acting out the change in experience — never text bullets. Route every theme/item through references/visualization-registry.md BEFORE writing the script; the registry decides ui-recreate / ui-analog / terminal / checklist. Text checklist is the LAST resort, reserved for genuinely non-visual items (reliability fix lists).
