Separates creative grammar (renderer_family) from technical engine
(render_runtime) so HyperFrames can stand alongside Remotion as a
first-class runtime instead of masquerading as a Remotion sub-case.
Locks runtime choice at proposal stage and enforces it end-to-end: the
schemas require it, video_compose routes by it, the reviewer fails
closed on silent swaps, and a parametrized contract test walks every
pipeline manifest to ensure each planning-stage skill explains the
conversation to the user. Adds hyperframes_compose (scaffold/lint/
validate/render/doctor/add_block), a playbook -> CSS style bridge, and
vendored HyperFrames Layer 3 skills from commit d291358, pinned via
PROVENANCE.md for future re-sync. Final_review now records
render_runtime_used and runtime_swap_detected so compose lies are
catchable after the fact.
Expands the Seedance 2.0 surface from fal.ai-only to every gateway the
OpenMontage toolset can reach, so users on Replicate / Runway /
Higgsfield automatically route cinematic briefs through Seedance 2.0
instead of the gateway's prior default.
- tools/video/seedance_replicate (new): REPLICATE_API_TOKEN adapter for
bytedance/seedance-2.0 and bytedance/seedance-2.0-fast. Same provider
family ("seedance"), quality_score=0.95, premium capability flags.
- tools/video/runway_video: add seedance_2.0 / seedance_2.0_fast to the
model enum as the new default, flag native_audio + multi_shot +
camera_direction + lip_sync in supports, point agent_skills at
seedance-2-0 Layer 3 skill. Note Runway Unlimited/Enterprise + non-US
gating in the model description.
- tools/video/higgsfield_video: same pattern. seedance_2.0 is now the
default model. Cost estimates calibrated to Higgsfield credit pricing
(~$0.50-$1.20 per 5s).
- tools/video/_shared: annotate HEYGEN_PROVIDERS seedance_pro/lite as
Seedance 1.x (2.0 on HeyGen flows through Video Agent / Avatar Shots
which need a separate wrapper — tracked as follow-up).
- .agents/skills/seedance-2-0: update provider matrix to show which
gateways are wrapped (fal.ai, Replicate, Runway, Higgsfield) vs. which
are still roadmap (HeyGen Video Agent, BytePlus, Freepik, aggregators).
The scoring engine already deduplicates by provider="seedance" so
whichever gateway the user has configured wins automatically. Agents
passing preferred_provider="seedance" to video_selector route to the
best available Seedance 2.0 path without naming a specific gateway.
Seedance 2.0 is now routed as the top-ranked video generator whenever a
premium gateway is available. Touches the tool layer, scoring engine,
cinematic pipeline, and both skill layers so discovery works from every
entry point.
- tools/video/seedance_video: BETA stability, quality_score=0.95, add
reference_to_video operation plus 9 img + 3 vid + 3 audio ceilings,
fix pre-existing upload_image_fal import
- tools/base_tool: surface optional quality_score / success_rate /
latency fields in get_info so the scorer can read them
- lib/scoring: fix reliability enum-vs-string bug that was pinning every
available tool to 0.0, switch to overlap coefficient so rich best_for
descriptions aren't penalized, add premium-cinematic feature bonus
- pipeline_defs/cinematic + cinematic asset-director: add pixabay_music
and freesound_music, restore pixabay-first music default
- cinematic compose-director: mandatory Remotion preflight at stage entry
- New Layer 3 .agents/skills/seedance-2-0/SKILL.md (8-part prompt
structure, multi-shot, lip-sync, reference-to-video, provider landscape)
- New Layer 2 skills/creative/prompting/seedance-prompting.md
- Update ai-video-gen, video-gen-prompting, AGENT_GUIDE, INDEX to flag
Seedance 2.0 as the preferred premium default and make the skill
discoverable from every routing path
Mirror the official GSAP AI skills (greensock/gsap-skills, MIT) into
.agents/skills/ and add the Layer 2 wiring that makes them discoverable
from a fresh context.
GSAP covers animation needs that Remotion primitives strain at:
per-character text reveals (SplitText), SVG shape morphs (MorphSVG),
curved camera paths (MotionPath), stroke-reveal line drawing (DrawSVG),
layout-to-layout flight (Flip), and custom bezier easings (CustomEase).
Also becomes mandatory day-1 knowledge if we wire in HyperFrames later
(HF uses GSAP timelines as its native animation runtime).
Layer 3 adds (.agents/skills/):
- gsap-core, gsap-timeline, gsap-plugins, gsap-utils
- gsap-react, gsap-performance
- gsap-scrolltrigger, gsap-frameworks (situational)
- gsap/README.md — OpenMontage-specific framing and Remotion-safe usage
Layer 2 wiring (the discovery triggers):
- skills/meta/animation-runtime-selector.md — NEW routing meta-skill.
Decision matrix covering Remotion primitives, GSAP plugins, framer-
motion, Lottie, Manim, D3, TerminalScene. Enforces the "keep it
simple" bias: reach for GSAP only when the plugin genuinely earns
its bundle weight.
- skills/pipelines/explainer/asset-director.md — references GSAP for
kinetic typography, multi-step choreography, SVG line draws.
- skills/pipelines/animation/asset-director.md — references GSAP for
logo morphs, motion paths, FLIP transitions, custom easings.
- skills/pipelines/cinematic/asset-director.md — references GSAP for
cinematic camera moves, per-char title reveals, prestige easings.
- AGENT_GUIDE.md — adds a categorized Layer 3 skills table so a fresh-
context agent can find the right skill by what they're trying to do,
plus a pointer to animation-runtime-selector.md for routing.
Determinism: every GSAP use inside Remotion must drive timeline progress
from useCurrentFrame(), never requestAnimationFrame. Three Remotion-safe
patterns are documented in both the gsap/README and the selector skill.

Make synthetic screen recording a first-class, discoverable capability
alongside real OS capture. For CLI / terminal / install-flow demos where
commands and output are predictable, author a `terminal_scene` cut instead
of driving a real screen recorder — deterministic, privacy-safe, pixel-
perfect, and frame-accurate to narration cues.
Components:
- TerminalScene.tsx: window chrome, char-by-char typing, blinking cursor,
scrolling output, non-blocking floating pills, spring-based reveals
- ProviderChip.tsx: rotating badge overlay that cycles through provider
names (used in AI-generated-motion scenes)
- BackgroundVideoLayer + source_in_seconds + backgroundVideo props on
every scene type — supports video-behind-component composition
Discovery chain (six layers, so the next agent finds this without reading
source code):
1. pipeline_defs/screen-demo.yaml — bump to 2.1, declare production_modes
(real_capture, synthetic_terminal) with required_tools, scene_type, and
agent_skills pointers
2. skills/pipelines/screen-demo/idea-director.md — mode-selection table
at brief time; brief.metadata.production_mode contract
3. skills/pipelines/screen-demo/asset-director.md — reads production_mode
and branches asset production (capture+overlays vs steps+narration+
pacing check)
4. .agents/skills/synthetic-screen-recording/SKILL.md — Layer 3 skill with
step kinds (cmd/out/pause/pill), pacing rule, and the frozen-terminal
failure mode captured from the showcase v3 retune
5. AGENT_GUIDE.md — TerminalScene added to Remotion routing; links
SCENE_TYPES.md as the authoritative cut-type registry
6. remotion-composer/SCENE_TYPES.md — new cheat sheet of every cut.type
and overlay.type with required fields, plus a "how to add a new scene
type" section (candidates: ChatTranscript, EditorScene, PrReview,
SlackThread, TicketBoard)
Guardrail:
- lib/verify_scene_pacing.py — reusable trace() and assert_alignment()
helpers that mimic the TerminalScene frame math exactly. Fail loudly
before render if steps burn through too fast or leave the scene frozen.
