Explainer system (always on)
This repo makes VO-first Remotion explainers in the AI LABS production language.
Read before any scene work:

.cursor/skills/remotion-presentation/SKILL.md
Hard rules
- No talking head, no facecam, no lower thirds, no mascots in the body.
- Beat sheet first:
presentations/<slug>/beats.md. NoMain.tsxuntil it exists. - Every beat is
diagram|mock|screencap. - Use only components listed in
docs/style/visual-system.md. If you need a new one, add it to the kit and that list first. - Proof screenshots are real files. Do not invent GitHub/X/docs UI.
- Cursor is synthetic (kit), never a raw mouse recording.
- Motion is data-driven (counters, progress, trees, status). No decorative-only motion.
- New video = new copy + new proof stills. Same chrome, tokens, easing.
- Tokens:
explainerfromsrc/kit/theme.tsfor new explainers. Do not introduce a second palette. - Primary ship format is 16:9 at 30fps (1080 to preview, 4K to publish).
