+# vid-product-launch
+
+Generate a cinematic product launch video from a product description and launch context. The video follows a 5-section narrative arc: build anticipation, reveal the product, prove the value, and close with a CTA.
+
+This is different from a sizzle reel. A launch video has a specific reveal moment. Every section before it builds toward that moment.
+
+Use it for announcement posts, email campaigns, landing page heroes, and launch day social content.
+

+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npx "@opendirectory.dev/skills" install vid-product-launch --target claude
+```
+
+### Step 1: Download the skill from GitHub
+1. Click the Code button on this repo's GitHub page.
+2. Select Download ZIP to download the repository.
+3. Extract the ZIP file on your computer.
+
+### Step 2: Install in Claude
+1. Open your Claude desktop app.
+2. Go to the sidebar and click Customize.
+3. Click the Skills tab, then click the + button.
+4. Choose Upload a skill and drag in the folder.
+
+Upload the folder that contains the `SKILL.md` file.
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Provide your product name, description, and launch context.
+2. The agent generates a narrative script with timed sections.
+3. The agent produces a single HTML file using the `renderFrame(t)` architecture.
+4. The export script captures frames via Playwright and assembles an MP4 via FFmpeg.
+
+No external AI video APIs. No API costs. Works offline.
+
+---
+
+## Launch Video Structure
+
+| Section | Timing (60s) | Content |
+|---------|-------------|---------|
+| Tease | 0-10s | The problem, without naming your product |
+| Build | 10-30s | Rising tension, hints at the solution |
+| Reveal | 30-45s | Product name, tagline, and first look |
+| Proof | 45-55s | One key result or feature |
+| CTA | 55-60s | Your URL or launch offer |
+
+Timing scales automatically for 30s and 90s durations.
+
+---
+
+## Input Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
+|-----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `product_name` | Yes | | Product or feature name |
+| `product_description` | Yes | | What it does and who it is for (2-3 sentences) |
+| `tagline` | | auto | Key headline, 4-6 words (write this yourself) |
+| `launch_date` | | | ISO date for countdown timer (e.g. `2026-06-01`) |
+| `cta` | | auto | Final CTA (e.g. `"Browse skills at opendirectory.dev"`) |
+| `tone` | | `cinematic` | `cinematic` / `energetic` / `minimal` / `emotional` |
+| `duration` | | `60` | `30` / `60` / `90` seconds |
+| `aspect_ratio` | | `16:9` | `16:9` / `9:16` |
+| `letterbox` | | `false` | 2.35:1 black bars (cinematic tone only) |
+| `music` | | | Path to audio file (mp3/m4a/wav) |
+
+---
+
+## Tone Reference
+
+| Tone | Reference Feel | Best For |
+|------|---------------|----------|
+| `cinematic` | Apple product reveal | B2C, premium positioning, Series A+ |
+| `energetic` | Product Hunt launch day | Developer tools, SaaS, younger audiences |
+| `minimal` | Linear / Vercel announcement | Design-forward tools, developer market |
+| `emotional` | Kickstarter campaign | Consumer products, mission-driven brands |
+
+---
+
+## Export
+
+The agent saves the HTML to `launch/[slug]/product-launch.html`. Then run:
+
+```bash
+# Standard 16:9, 60 seconds
+bash scripts/export-video.sh launch/my-product/product-launch.html --duration 60
+
+# With music
+bash scripts/export-video.sh launch/my-product/product-launch.html --duration 60 --music bg.mp3
+
+# Both orientations in one run (16:9 + 9:16)
+bash scripts/export-video.sh launch/my-product/product-launch.html --duration 60 --both-orientations
+
+# Cinematic with letterbox bars
+bash scripts/export-video.sh launch/my-product/product-launch.html --duration 60 --letterbox --width 1920 --height 1080
+```
+
+Output: `launch/[slug]/product-launch.mp4`. 1080p H.264, compatible with QuickTime, iOS, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
+
+---
+
+## Prompt Tips
+
+Write the tagline yourself. It is the product's entire promise in 4-6 words. The agent uses it as the centerpiece of the reveal moment.
+
+The reveal is everything. Everything before it creates tension. If the reveal does not feel earned, the video does not work.
+
+Put one stat in the proof section. Five stats kill the pacing. One oversized number creates the punch.
+
+Match tone to your market. Cinematic does not work for developer tools. Minimal does not work for consumer apps.
+
+---
+
+## Prompt Examples
+
+Good:
+```
+Product launch video, 60 seconds. Product: OpenDirectory. Description: A library
+of pre-built AI agent skills for Claude, Codex, and Gemini. Covers GTM, content,
+research, and developer tools. Tagline: "AI skills, ready to install." Tone: minimal.
+Proof: "52+ skills, zero setup." CTA: "Browse skills at opendirectory.dev." Aspect: 16:9.
+```
+
+Bad:
+```
+launch video for our new product
+```
+
+---
+
+## Output
+
+```
+launch/
+└── [slug]/
+    ├── product-launch.html    (agent-generated source, open in browser to preview)
+    └── product-launch.mp4     (H.264, 1080p, yuv420p, faststart)
+```
+
+Preview the HTML in any browser before exporting. It runs a live animation loop at full quality.
+

+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- FFmpeg (`brew install ffmpeg` / `apt install ffmpeg`)
+- Playwright installs automatically on first export run
