+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

+Pure schema/convention doc for video script structure. Engine-agnostic, zero deps — a reusable authoring convention any agent can adopt.
+
+## Bundled skills
+
+- `video-script-structure`
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npx skills add royalti-io/video-script-structure   # coming in the publish session
+```
+
+## Provenance
+
+Extracted from `com.ikenga.studio` (`packages/apps/studio`) per **Ọba registry
+WP-17 Phase A** (ADR-015 decision 4 — hard-retire pkg asset-bundling). During
+Phase A, Studio keeps its own `skills/` folder intact (interim duplication);
+the cutover that switches Studio to `requires` and deletes the bundled copy is
+Phase B, gated on the forward-dependency resolver (WP-11 + WP-13/14).
+
+> **`requires` edges pending WP-11.** The cross-primitive `requires` field
+> (e.g. the two suites → `studio-beat-detect`) is **not** declared yet: the
+> manifest `requires` field does not exist in `@ikenga/contract` /
+> `manifest.rs` until WP-11, and the Rust loader's `deny_unknown_fields` would
+> reject it. Phase B adds the field + the edges once the schema accepts them.

+name: video-script-structure
+description: Video script YAML schema V3 with beats[], storyboard[] sentence-level sync, progressive reveals, annotated images, screen mockups, and word-level subtitles for the Remotion video engine. Use when creating video scripts or converting blog content to video format.
+allowed-tools:
+  - Read

+---
+
+# Video Script Structure Skill V3
+
+## Purpose
+
+Defines the structure and conventions for creating video scripts with **multi-beat visual cuts** that render in the Royalti Remotion video engine. Scripts are YAML files consumed by `BlogExplainerVideo` composition.
+
+---
+
+## Fireship.io Style Principles
+
+1. **Rapid-fire delivery** — Dense information, no filler
+2. **Visual-first** — Every concept gets multiple visual beats, never static for >4 seconds
+3. **Humor and personality** — Not dry or corporate
+4. **Time-constrained** — 3-8 minutes for educational content
+5. **Fast cuts** — Average shot length 2-4 seconds, alternating visual types
+
+### Timing Conventions
+
+| Section Type | Duration | Beats |
+|--------------|----------|-------|
+| Hook | 10-15 seconds | 1 visual (short, impactful) |
+| Main Section | 30-60 seconds | 5-6 beats (cut every 3-5s) |
+| CTA | 10-20 seconds | 1 visual (end_screen) |
+
+---
+
+## YAML Schema V2
+
+### Canonical Field Names
+
+- **`narration`** — Voiceover text (NOT `script`)
+- **`beats`** — Array of visual beats per section (NOT singular `visual`)
+- **Hook and CTA** keep single `visual` (they're short enough)
+
+### Root Structure
+
+```yaml
+video:
+  title: string          # Video title (60 chars max for YouTube)
+  slug: string           # URL-friendly identifier
+  duration: string       # "M:SS" format (informational)
+  style: string          # "educational" | "tutorial" | "explainer"
+
+hook:
+  narration: string      # Spoken content (multiline)
+  visual: Visual         # ONE visual for the hook
+  duration: number       # Optional, in seconds
+
+sections:
+  - id: string           # Unique section identifier
+    title: string        # Section heading (shown as LowerThird)
+    narration: string    # Spoken content for the full section
+    beats:               # Array of visual beats (REQUIRED, min 1)
+      - visual: Visual
+        duration: number     # Seconds (2-8). Optional, auto-distributed if omitted.
+        transition: string   # See Beat Transitions below. Default: "cut"
+        emphasis: boolean    # Extra visual punch. Default: false
+    duration: number     # Optional total section duration override
+
+cta:
+  narration: string
+  visual: Visual         # Should be type: end_screen
+  duration: number       # Optional
+
+metadata:               # Optional
+  source: string
+  date: string
+  tags: string[]
+```
+
+### Beat Transitions
+
+| Transition | Effect | Frames |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| `cut` | Instant switch (default) | 0 |
+| `fade` | Cross-dissolve | 8 |
+| `slide_left` | Content slides from left | 10 |
+| `slide_right` | Content slides from right | 10 |
+| `push_left` | Both contents push left | 10 |
+| `push_right` | Both contents push right | 10 |
+| `zoom_in` | Scale + fade in | 10 |
+| `zoom_out` | Scale + fade out | 10 |
+| `wipe_left` | Wipe reveal from left | 10 |
+| `clock_wipe` | Radial clock reveal | 12 |
+
+---
+
+## V3: Storyboard (Sentence-Level Visual Sync)
+
+Beats can optionally include a `storyboard[]` that maps narration segments to visual actions. This enables Vox Media-style progressive reveals and annotated overlays synced to voiceover.
+
+### Beat with Storyboard
+
+```yaml
+- visual:
+    type: react_diagram
+    diagram_type: flowchart
+    diagram_data:
+      steps:
+        - label: "ISRC"
+          description: "Recording ID"
+        - label: "ISWC"
+          description: "Composition ID"
+        - label: "UPC"
+          description: "Album ID"
+      direction: horizontal
+  duration: 8
+  transition: slide_right
+  storyboard:
+    - segment: "ISRC identifies the recording."
+      action:
+        type: highlight_step
+        index: 0
+    - segment: "ISWC identifies the composition."
+      action:
+        type: highlight_step
+        index: 1
+    - segment: "UPC identifies the album."
+      action:
+        type: highlight_step
+        index: 2
+  subtitles: true    # Optional: word-level subtitle overlay
+```
+
+### Storyboard Action Types
+
+| Action | Visual Type | Effect |
+|--------|------------|--------|
+| `highlight_step` | FlowChart | Highlight step at `index`, auto-reveal up to that step |
+| `reveal_spoke` | HubSpoke | Reveal spoke at `index`, highlight it |
+| `reveal_up_to` | Any diagram | Show first `count` elements |
+| `highlight_stat` | StatGrid | Highlight stat at `index` with glow ring |
+| `reveal_annotation` | annotated_image, screen_mockup | Show annotation at `index` |
+| `reveal_all_annotations` | annotated_image, screen_mockup | Show all remaining annotations |
+| `mask_reveal` | annotated_image | Reveal image from dark via mask |
+| `zoom_to` | generated_image | Ken Burns zoom to `{x, y, scale}` |
+| `emphasize_words` | text_overlay | Highlight specific `words[]` |
+| `swap_text` | text_overlay | Replace text with new `content` |
+
+### Subtitles
+
+Set `subtitles: true` on a beat to show word-by-word highlighted captions at the bottom of the screen. Uses ElevenLabs character timestamps + @remotion/captions for precise word timing.
+
+---
+
+## V3: New Visual Types
+
+### `annotated_image`
+
+Base image with timed annotation overlays (Vox style: "here's the document, THIS is the part that matters").
+
+```yaml
+visual:
+  type: annotated_image
+  base_image: "royalty-statement-closeup"   # Asset ID in visual manifest
+  annotations:
+    - label: "Reporting Period"
+      x: 25        # Percentage (0-100)
+      y: 15
+      style: highlight   # circle | arrow | highlight
+    - label: "Track IDs"
+      x: 50
+      y: 40
+      style: circle
+  mask_reveal: true    # Optional: image hidden until first annotation
+```
+
+### `screen_mockup`
+
+App screenshot or recording with browser chrome frame + annotations. Supports Playwright auto-capture.
+
+```yaml
+visual:
+  type: screen_mockup
+  src: "royalti-dashboard.png"    # Static asset (when no capture)
+  capture:                         # Optional: Playwright auto-capture
+    url: "https://app.royalti.io/statements"
+    mode: screenshot               # screenshot | recording
+    viewport: { width: 1920, height: 1080 }
+    wait_for: "[data-testid=table]"
+    actions:
+      - { click: ".upload-btn" }
+      - { wait: 1000 }
+    auth:
+      cookie_file: ".env.playwright-cookies"
+  annotations:
+    - label: "Upload Button"
+      x: 30
+      y: 50
+      style: circle
+  device: browser                  # browser | mobile | tablet | none
+```
+
+---
+
+## Visual Types
+
+### `react_diagram`
+
+```yaml
+visual:
+  type: react_diagram
+  diagram_type: flowchart | timeline | comparison | hubspoke | statgrid
+  diagram_data: { ... }
+```
+
+**Diagram data shapes:**
+
+- **flowchart**: `{ steps: [{ label, description?, icon? }], direction?: "horizontal"/"vertical" }`
+- **timeline**: `{ events: [{ date, label, description? }], direction? }`
+- **comparison**: `{ left: { title, items: string[] }, right: { title, items: string[] }, vsLabel? }`
+- **hubspoke**: `{ center: { label, icon? }, spokes: [{ label, icon? }] }`
+- **statgrid**: `{ stats: [{ value, label, prefix?, suffix? }], columns?: 2/3/4 }`
+
+### `generated_image`
+
+```yaml
+visual:
+  type: generated_image
+  prompt: "Descriptive Gemini prompt — specific composition, lighting, mood"
+  style: cinematic  # optional
+```
+
+### `text_overlay`
+
+```yaml
+visual:
+  type: text_overlay
+  content: "40% of Revenue Left on the Table"
+  highlight_words: ["40%"]  # optional — words that get color/scale emphasis
+```
+
+### `counter_animation`
+
+```yaml
+visual:
+  type: counter_animation
+  content: "$3,000,000,000+"
+```
+
+### `code_snippet`
+
+```yaml
+visual:
+  type: code_snippet
+  code: |
+    const royalties = await api.getRoyalties(artistId);
+  language: typescript
+```
+
+### `end_screen`
+
+```yaml
+visual:
+  type: end_screen
+  headline: "Track All 7 Royalty Types"
+  cta: "Try Royalti Free"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Beat Composition Rules
+
+1. **5-6 beats per 30 seconds** of narration
+2. **Never repeat visual type** in adjacent beats (text -> diagram -> image -> text)
+3. **Never repeat transition** more than twice in a row
+4. **1-2 emphasis beats** per section for key moments
+5. **First beat transition is ignored** (it's the section entry)
+6. **At least 3 different visual types** per section
+
+---
+
+## Visual Type Decision Tree
+
+Choose the right visual type based on content:

+| Key metrics, numbers | `react_diagram` (statgrid) | Dashboard-style stat cards |
+| Hand-drawn / whiteboard feel | `excalidraw_diagram` | Sketchy, informal explanations |
+| Conceptual illustrations | `generated_image` | Abstract concepts, metaphors |
+| Real app screenshots | `screen_mockup` | Product demos, UI walkthroughs |
+| Bold statements, key quotes | `text_overlay` | Emphasis moments, pull quotes |

+### `excalidraw_diagram` (Animated Hand-Drawn)
+
+```yaml
+visual:
+  type: excalidraw_diagram
+  diagram_type: flowchart | timeline | comparison | hubspoke | statgrid | process | mindmap | wireframe
+  diagram_data: { ... }  # Same shapes as react_diagram equivalents
+  roughness: 1           # 0=clean, 1=sketchy (default), 2=rough
+  theme: dark            # light or dark (default: dark)
+```
+
+Renders as **animated SVG** in the composition (shapes spring in, arrows draw on, text fades). Supports storyboard actions (`highlight_step`, `reveal_up_to`) for progressive reveal.
+
+Use `excalidraw_diagram` when you want a **casual, whiteboard-style** look. Use `react_diagram` for **polished, branded** diagrams.

+## Script Writing Guidelines
+
+**Spoken vs Written:**
+- Blog: "Mechanical royalties are generated when your song is reproduced."
+- Video: "Mechanical royalties. Every time your song is REPRODUCED—streamed, downloaded, pressed to vinyl—you earn these."
+
+**Rules:**
+- Remove passive voice, add emphasis with CAPS and dashes
+- Break long sentences into fragments
+- Include [BEAT] markers for pauses (+0.5s each)
+- No sentences longer than 20 words
+- Use `narration` (not `script`), `beats` (not `visual` singular)
+
+---
+
+## Timing Estimation
+
+```
+Total Duration ≈ (Source Word Count / 150) minutes
+Section: 30-60s → 5-6 beats
+Hook: 10-15s → 1 visual
+CTA: 10-20s → 1 visual (end_screen)
