+# CSS Patterns for Marker Highlighting
+
+Pure CSS + GSAP implementations of all five MarkerHighlight.js drawing modes. Use these for deterministic rendering in HyperFrames compositions — no external library dependency, full GSAP timeline control.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+- [1. Highlight Mode](#1-highlight-mode) — Yellow marker sweep behind text
+- [2. Circle Mode](#2-circle-mode) — Hand-drawn ellipse around text
+- [3. Burst Mode](#3-burst-mode) — Radiating lines from text
+- [4. Scribble Mode](#4-scribble-mode) — Chaotic scribble over text
+- [5. Sketchout Mode](#5-sketchout-mode) — Rough rectangle outline
+
+## 1. Highlight Mode
+
+Yellow marker sweep behind text. The most common mode.
+
+```html
+<span class="mh-highlight-wrap">
+  <span class="mh-highlight-bar" id="hl-1"></span>
+  <span class="mh-highlight-text">highlighted text</span>
+</span>
+```
+
+```css
+.mh-highlight-wrap {
+  position: relative;
+  display: inline;
+}
+.mh-highlight-bar {
+  position: absolute;
+  top: 0;
+  left: -6px;
+  right: -6px;
+  bottom: 0;
+  background: #fdd835;
+  opacity: 0.35;
+  transform: scaleX(0);
+  transform-origin: left center;
+  border-radius: 3px;
+  z-index: 0;
+}
+.mh-highlight-text {
+  position: relative;
+  z-index: 1;
+}
+```
+
+```js
+// Sweep in from left
+tl.to("#hl-1", { scaleX: 1, duration: 0.5, ease: "power2.out" }, 0.6);
+
+// Optional: skew for hand-drawn feel
+// gsap.set("#hl-1", { skewX: -2 });
+```
+
+### Multi-line Highlight
+
+Stagger bars across multiple lines:
+
+```js
+tl.to(
+  ".mh-highlight-bar",
+  {
+    scaleX: 1,
+    duration: 0.5,
+    ease: "power2.out",
+    stagger: 0.3,
+  },
+  0.6,
+);
+```
+
+## 2. Circle Mode
+
+Hand-drawn circle around text. Use `border-radius: 50%` with a slight rotation for organic feel.
+
+```html
+<span class="mh-circle-wrap">
+  <span class="mh-circle-text" id="circle-word">IMPORTANT</span>
+  <span class="mh-circle-ring" id="circle-1"></span>
+</span>
+```
+
+```css
+.mh-circle-wrap {
+  position: relative;
+  display: inline;
+}
+.mh-circle-text {
+  position: relative;
+  z-index: 1;
+}
+.mh-circle-ring {
+  position: absolute;
+  top: 50%;
+  left: 50%;
+  width: 130%;
+  height: 160%;
+  transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate(-3deg) scale(0);
+  border: 3px solid #e53935;
+  border-radius: 50%;
+  pointer-events: none;
+  z-index: 0;
+}
+```
+
+```js
+// Circle scales in with a wobble
+tl.to(
+  "#circle-1",
+  {
+    scale: 1,
+    rotation: -3,
+    duration: 0.6,
+    ease: "back.out(1.7)",
+    transformOrigin: "center center",
+  },
+  0.7,
+);
+```
+
+### Variations
+
+```css
+/* Tighter circle (for short words) */
+.mh-circle-ring.tight {
+  width: 150%;
+  height: 180%;
+}
+
+/* Squared circle (rounded rectangle) */
+.mh-circle-ring.rounded {
+  border-radius: 30%;
+  width: 120%;
+  height: 140%;
+}
+
+/* Ellipse (wider than tall) */
+.mh-circle-ring.ellipse {
+  width: 150%;
+  height: 130%;
+  border-radius: 50%;
+}
+```
+
+## 3. Burst Mode
+
+Radiating lines from text center. Each line is a positioned div rotated to its angle.
+
+```html
+<span class="mh-burst-wrap">
+  <span class="mh-burst-text">WOW</span>
+  <span class="mh-burst-container" id="burst-1">
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 0deg; --len: 70px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 30deg; --len: 55px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 60deg; --len: 80px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 90deg; --len: 45px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 120deg; --len: 65px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 150deg; --len: 75px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 180deg; --len: 50px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 210deg; --len: 60px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 240deg; --len: 80px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 270deg; --len: 40px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 300deg; --len: 70px;"></span>
+    <span class="mh-burst-line" style="--angle: 330deg; --len: 55px;"></span>
+  </span>
+</span>
+```
+
+```css
+.mh-burst-wrap {
+  position: relative;
+  display: inline;
+}
+.mh-burst-text {
+  position: relative;
+  z-index: 2;
+}
+.mh-burst-container {
+  position: absolute;
+  top: 50%;
+  left: 50%;
+  width: 0;
+  height: 0;
+  z-index: 1;
+}
+.mh-burst-line {
+  position: absolute;
+  display: block;
+  width: 3px;
+  height: var(--len);
+  background: #1e88e5;
+  left: -1.5px;
+  top: calc(-1 * var(--len));
+  transform: rotate(var(--angle));
+  transform-origin: bottom center;
+  opacity: 0;
+}
+```
+
+```js
+// All lines burst outward simultaneously with slight stagger
+tl.fromTo(
+  "#burst-1 .mh-burst-line",
+  { scaleY: 0, opacity: 0 },
+  { scaleY: 1, opacity: 1, duration: 0.4, ease: "power2.out", stagger: 0.03 },
+  0.7,
+);
+```
+
+**Vary line lengths** (40-80px range) for an organic, hand-drawn feel. Equal lengths look mechanical.
+
+## 4. Scribble Mode
+
+Wavy SVG underlines and strikethroughs that draw themselves via `stroke-dashoffset`.
+
+```html
+<span class="mh-scribble-wrap">
+  <span class="mh-scribble-text">underlined text</span>
+  <svg class="mh-scribble-svg" viewBox="0 0 500 24" preserveAspectRatio="none">
+    <path
+      id="scribble-1"
+      d="M0,12 Q31,0 62,12 Q93,24 125,12 Q156,0 187,12 Q218,24 250,12 Q281,0 312,12 Q343,24 375,12 Q406,0 437,12 Q468,24 500,12"
+      fill="none"
+      stroke="#FDD835"
+      stroke-width="3"
+      stroke-linecap="round"
+    />
+  </svg>
+</div>
+```
+
+```css
+.mh-scribble-wrap {
+  position: relative;
+  display: inline;
+}
+.mh-scribble-text {
+  position: relative;
+  z-index: 1;
+}
+.mh-scribble-svg {
+  position: absolute;
+  left: 0;
+  bottom: -6px;
+  width: 100%;
+  height: 24px;
+  z-index: 0;
+}
+```
+
+```js
+// Measure path length and set initial dash state
+var path = document.querySelector("#scribble-1");
+var len = path.getTotalLength();
+gsap.set(path, { strokeDasharray: len, strokeDashoffset: len });
+
+// Draw the line
+tl.to(
+  "#scribble-1",
+  {
+    strokeDashoffset: 0,
+    duration: 0.8,
+    ease: "power1.inOut",
+  },
+  0.7,
+);
+```
+
+### Strikethrough Variant
+
+Position the SVG at `top: 50%; transform: translateY(-50%)` instead of `bottom: -6px`.
+
+### Wavy Path Generator
+
+Scale the path's viewBox width to match text width. The wave pattern `Q x1,y1 x2,y2` alternates between `y=0` and `y=24` for a natural wobble. Adjust the control points for tighter or looser waves:
+
+- **Tight waves**: smaller x-increments (25px per half-wave)
+- **Loose waves**: larger x-increments (50px per half-wave)
+- **Amplitude**: change the y range (0-24 for standard, 0-16 for subtle)
+
+## 5. Sketchout Mode
+
+Cross-hatch lines over de-emphasized text. Multiple angled lines create a "crossed out" effect.
+
+```html
+<span class="mh-sketchout-wrap">
+  <span class="mh-sketchout-text">old price</span>
+  <span class="mh-sketchout-lines" id="sketchout-1">
+    <span class="mh-sketchout-line mh-sketchout-fwd"></span>
+    <span class="mh-sketchout-line mh-sketchout-bwd"></span>
+  </span>
+</span>
+```
+
+```css
+.mh-sketchout-wrap {
+  position: relative;
+  display: inline;
+}
+.mh-sketchout-text {
+  position: relative;
+  z-index: 0;
+}
+.mh-sketchout-lines {
+  position: absolute;
+  top: 0;
+  left: -4px;
+  right: -4px;
+  bottom: 0;
+  overflow: hidden;
+  z-index: 1;
+}
+.mh-sketchout-line {
+  position: absolute;
+  display: block;
+  top: 50%;
+  left: 0;
+  width: 100%;
+  height: 2px;
+  background: #e53935;
+  transform-origin: left center;
+  transform: scaleX(0);
+}
+.mh-sketchout-fwd {
+  transform: scaleX(0) rotate(-12deg);
+}
+.mh-sketchout-bwd {
+  transform: scaleX(0) rotate(12deg);
+}
+```
+
+```js
+// Forward slash draws first
+tl.to(
+  "#sketchout-1 .mh-sketchout-fwd",
+  {
+    scaleX: 1,
+    duration: 0.3,
+    ease: "power2.out",
+  },
+  1.0,
+);
+
+// Backward slash follows
+tl.to(
+  "#sketchout-1 .mh-sketchout-bwd",
+  {
+    scaleX: 1,
+    duration: 0.3,
+    ease: "power2.out",
+  },
+  1.15,
+);
+```
+
+## Combining Modes in Captions
+
+Use mode cycling for visual variety across caption groups:
+
+```js
+var MODES = ["highlight", "circle", "burst", "scribble"];
+
+GROUPS.forEach(function (group, gi) {
+  var mode = MODES[gi % MODES.length];
+  // Apply the mode's CSS pattern to emphasis words in this group
+  group.emphasisWords.forEach(function (word) {
+    applyMode(word.el, mode, tl, word.start);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+Cycle every 2-3 groups for high energy, every 3-4 for medium, every 4-5 for low.

+# Dynamic Caption Techniques
+
+You are here because SKILL.md told you to read this file before writing animation code. Pick your technique combination from the table below based on the energy level you detected from the transcript, then implement using standard GSAP patterns.
+
+## Technique Selection by Energy
+
+| Energy level | Highlight                             | Exit                | Cycle pattern                             |
+| ------------ | ------------------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| High         | Karaoke with accent glow + scale pop  | Scatter or drop     | Alternate highlight styles every 2 groups |
+| Medium-high  | Karaoke with color pop                | Scatter or collapse | Alternate every 3 groups                  |
+| Medium       | Karaoke (subtle, white only)          | Fade + slide        | Alternate every 3 groups                  |
+| Medium-low   | Karaoke (minimal scale change)        | Fade                | Single style, vary ease per group         |
+| Low          | Karaoke (warm tones, slow transition) | Collapse            | Alternate every 4 groups                  |
+
+**All energy levels use karaoke highlight as the baseline.** The difference is intensity — high energy gets accent color + glow + 15% scale pop on active words, low energy gets a gentle white shift with 3% scale.
+
+**Emphasis words always break the pattern.** When a word is flagged as emphasis (emotional keyword, ALL CAPS, brand name), give it a stronger animation than surrounding words (larger scale, accent color, overshoot ease). This creates contrast.
+
+**Marker highlight modes add a visual layer on top of karaoke.** For emphasis words that need more than color/scale, add a marker-style effect — highlight sweep, circle, burst, or scribble — using the `/marker-highlight` skill. Match mode to energy: burst for hype, circle for key terms, highlight for standard, scribble for subtle.
+
+## Audio-Reactive Captions (Mandatory for Music)
+
+**If the source audio is music (vocals over instrumentation, beats, any musical content), you MUST extract audio data and add audio-reactive animations.** This is not optional — music without audio reactivity looks disconnected. Even low-energy ballads get subtle bass pulse and treble glow.
+
+No special wiring is needed. The group loop already iterates over every caption group to build entrance, karaoke, and exit tweens. At that point, read the audio data for each group's time range and use it to modulate the group's animation intensity with regular GSAP tweens.
+
+```js
+// Load audio data inline (same pattern as TRANSCRIPT)
+var AUDIO = JSON.parse(audioDataJson); // { fps, totalFrames, frames: [{ bands: [...] }] }
+
+GROUPS.forEach(function (group, gi) {
+  var groupEl = document.getElementById("cg-" + gi);
+  if (!groupEl) return;
+
+  // Read peak energy for this group's time range
+  var startFrame = Math.floor(group.start * AUDIO.fps);
+  var endFrame = Math.min(Math.floor(group.end * AUDIO.fps), AUDIO.totalFrames - 1);
+  var peakBass = 0;
+  var peakTreble = 0;
+  for (var f = startFrame; f <= endFrame; f++) {
+    var frame = AUDIO.frames[f];
+    if (!frame) continue;
+    peakBass = Math.max(peakBass, frame.bands[0] || 0, frame.bands[1] || 0);
+    peakTreble = Math.max(peakTreble, frame.bands[6] || 0, frame.bands[7] || 0);
+  }
+
+  // Modulate entrance — louder groups enter bigger and glowier
+  tl.to(
+    groupEl,
+    {
+      scale: 1 + peakBass * 0.06,
+      textShadow:
+        "0 0 " + Math.round(peakTreble * 12) + "px rgba(255,255,255," + peakTreble * 0.4 + ")",
+      duration: 0.3,
+      ease: "power2.out",
+    },
+    group.start,
+  );
+
+  // Reset at exit so audio-driven values don't persist
+  tl.set(groupEl, { scale: 1, textShadow: "none" }, group.end - 0.15);
+});
+```
+
+This shapes the animation at build time, not playback time — no per-frame callbacks, no `tl.call()` loops, no async fetch timing issues. Loud groups come in with more weight and glow; quiet groups come in soft. The audio data modulates _how much_, the content determines _what_.
+
+Keep audio reactivity subtle — 3-6% scale variation and soft glow. Heavy pulsing makes text unreadable.
+
+To generate the audio data file:
+
+```bash
+python3 skills/gsap-effects/scripts/extract-audio-data.py audio.mp3 --fps 30 --bands 8 -o audio-data.json
+```
+
+## Combining Techniques
+
+Don't use the same highlight animation on every group — cycle through styles using the group index. Don't combine multiple competing animations on the same word at the same timestamp. Vary techniques across groups to match the content's pace changes.
+
+**Marker highlight effects** (from the `/marker-highlight` skill) layer well with karaoke — use karaoke for the word-by-word reveal, then add a marker effect on emphasis words only. For example: karaoke highlights each word in white, but brand names get a yellow highlight sweep and stats get a red circle. Cycle marker modes across groups for visual variety (see the mode-to-energy mapping in the marker-highlight skill).
+
+## Available Tools
+
+These tools are available in the HyperFrames runtime. Use them when they solve a real problem — not every composition needs all of them.
+
+| Tool                | What it does                                                              | Access                                                                                         | When it's useful                                                             |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **pretext**         | Pure-arithmetic text measurement without DOM reflow. 0.0002ms per call.   | `window.__hyperframes.pretext.prepare(text, font)` / `.layout(prepared, maxWidth, lineHeight)` | Per-frame text reflow, shrinkwrap containers, computing layout before render |

+# HTML-in-Canvas
+
+Render live HTML as WebGL textures — GPU shaders, 3D geometry, and cinematic effects on any DOM content.
+
+The HTML-in-Canvas API (`drawElementImage`) lets you capture live, rendered DOM elements directly into a canvas at GPU speed. This means you can take any HTML — dashboards, forms, landing pages, app UIs — and render them as textures in WebGL scenes with shaders, 3D transformations, and post-processing effects.
+
+> **Chrome flag required for live preview only.** The `drawElementImage` API is experimental.
+>
+> 1. Open `chrome://flags/#canvas-draw-element` in Chrome or Brave
+> 2. Set **CanvasDrawElement** to **Enabled**
+> 3. Restart the browser
+>
+> HyperFrames enables this flag automatically during rendering (`--enable-features=CanvasDrawElement`), so rendered videos work without manual setup. The flag is only needed for live preview in the Studio.
+
+When this skill runs inside Open Design, the daemon shells out to `npx hyperframes render`, which inherits the auto-enable. You do **not** need to add browser flags or pass extra CLI args from the agent.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. Place HTML content inside a `<canvas layoutsubtree>` element
+2. The browser renders the HTML children as normal DOM
+3. Wait for the canvas to paint, then call `ctx.drawElementImage(element, x, y, w, h)` to capture the rendered pixels
+4. Use the canvas as a Three.js texture, apply shaders, map to 3D geometry
+
+> **Always capture from a paint event.** The element snapshot the API draws from is only refreshed when the canvas paints. Calling `drawElementImage` during initial script evaluation can throw because the first snapshot does not exist yet; calling it outside `paint` after that point silently reads the *previous* snapshot. Drive both first-time capture and per-frame updates from `canvas.onpaint`, and use `canvas.requestPaint()` to ask for a fresh snapshot.
+
+```html
+<!-- 1. HTML content lives inside the canvas -->
+<canvas id="capture" layoutsubtree width="1920" height="1080">
+  <div class="my-dashboard">
+    <h1>Revenue: $4.2M</h1>
+    <div class="chart">...</div>
+  </div>
+</canvas>
+
+<!-- 2. WebGL canvas for 3D rendering -->
+<canvas id="theater" width="1920" height="1080"></canvas>
+```
+
+```javascript
+// 3. Capture HTML to canvas — wait for paint so the element snapshot exists
+var capCanvas = document.getElementById("capture");
+var ctx = capCanvas.getContext("2d");
+var texture, material;
+
+capCanvas.onpaint = function () {
+  ctx.drawElementImage(capCanvas.querySelector(".my-dashboard"), 0, 0, 1920, 1080);
+  if (!texture) {
+    // 4. Use as Three.js texture
+    texture = new THREE.CanvasTexture(capCanvas);
+    material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ map: texture });
+  } else {
+    texture.needsUpdate = true;
+  }
+};
+
+// Kick off the first paint; subsequent re-captures call requestPaint() again
+capCanvas.requestPaint();
+```
+
+## What makes this different
+
+Traditional approaches like `html2canvas` re-parse and re-render the DOM in JavaScript — they're slow, lossy, and miss CSS features like `backdrop-filter`, complex shadows, and web fonts. The `drawElementImage` API uses the browser's own compositor, so:
+
+- **Pixel-perfect** — every CSS feature is supported because the browser renders it natively
+- **GPU-accelerated** — captures at 60fps, fast enough for real-time animation
+- **Live content** — the HTML can animate, scroll, and change between captures
+- **Multiple captures simultaneously** — no nesting restrictions; multiple `<canvas layoutsubtree>` elements can capture different content in the same composition
+
+## Feature detection
+
+Always feature-detect before using the API. Compositions should fall back gracefully for browsers without the flag enabled. (Render path is always fine — the fallback only matters when a user opens the composition in a browser without `CanvasDrawElement`.)
+
+```javascript
+function isSupported() {
+  var tc = document.createElement("canvas");
+  if (!("layoutSubtree" in tc)) return false;
+  tc.setAttribute("layoutsubtree", "");
+  var ctx = tc.getContext("2d");
+  return ctx && typeof ctx.drawElementImage === "function";
+}
+
+if (isSupported()) {
+  ctx.drawElementImage(element, 0, 0, w, h);
+} else {
+  // Fallback: draw text directly on canvas, use static image, etc.
+}
+```
+
+## Re-capturing every frame
+
+For animated content (scrolling, transitions, counters), drive the capture from the canvas's `paint` event and ask for a fresh snapshot each frame with `requestPaint()`. Calling `drawElementImage` directly from the render loop reads the *previous* paint's snapshot, which on seek-driven HyperFrames renders shows up as a stale or frozen first texture.
+
+```javascript
+// Capture runs whenever the canvas paints, so the snapshot is always fresh
+capCanvas.onpaint = function () {
+  ctx.clearRect(0, 0, W, H);
+  ctx.drawElementImage(htmlElement, 0, 0, W, H);
+  texture.needsUpdate = true;
+};
+
+function render() {
+  // Update HTML state
+  scrollContainer.style.transform = "translateY(-" + scrollOffset + "px)";
+  counterEl.textContent = Math.round(currentValue);
+
+  // Schedule a fresh snapshot; the onpaint handler above runs the capture
+  capCanvas.requestPaint();
+
+  // Render 3D scene with updated texture
+  renderer.render(scene, camera);
+}
+```
+
+When a HyperFrames timeline drives the underlying HTML (counter ticks, scroll animation), the render loop must run on every frame the texture is visible — otherwise the WebGL surface freezes on the first capture and the user sees a static screen embedded in your 3D scene. This is the most common reason an HTML-in-Canvas composition "looks dead" after rendering.

+## Catalog blocks
+
+Install all HTML-in-Canvas blocks at once:
+
+```bash
+npx hyperframes add html-in-canvas
+```
+
+Or install individually:
+
+| Block | Description | Install |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| Liquid Glass | Voronoi glass fracture with parallax reveal | `npx hyperframes add vfx-liquid-glass` |
+| iPhone & MacBook | Real 3D GLTF devices with live HTML screens | `npx hyperframes add vfx-iphone-device` |
+| Text Cursor | Dramatic text reveal with chromatic shadows | `npx hyperframes add vfx-text-cursor` |
+| Portal | Dimension breach with volumetric light | `npx hyperframes add vfx-portal` |
+| Shatter | HTML shatters into glass fragments | `npx hyperframes add vfx-shatter` |
+| Magnetic | Magnetic field particle visualization | `npx hyperframes add vfx-magnetic` |
+| Liquid Background | Organic liquid simulation | `npx hyperframes add vfx-liquid-background` |

+## Rendering
+
+HyperFrames enables the Chrome flag automatically during rendering. No special configuration needed:
+
+```bash
+npx hyperframes render --output my-video.mp4
+```
+
+For Docker renders, the flag is also enabled automatically inside the container. Inside Open Design, the daemon's `npx hyperframes render` call (`apps/daemon/src/media.ts`) inherits the same default — you don't need to thread anything through.

+# Motion Principles
+
+## Guardrails
+
+You know these rules but you violate them. Stop.
+
+- **Don't use the same ease on every tween.** You default to `power2.out` on everything. Vary eases like you vary font weights — no more than 2 independent tweens with the same ease in a scene.
+- **Don't use the same speed on everything.** You default to 0.4-0.5s for everything. The slowest scene should be 3× slower than the fastest. Vary duration deliberately.
+- **Don't enter everything from the same direction.** You default to `y: 30, opacity: 0` on every element. Vary: from left, from right, from scale, opacity-only, letter-spacing.
+- **Don't use the same stagger on every scene.** Each scene needs its own rhythm.
+- **Don't use ambient zoom on every scene.** Pick different ambient motion per scene: slow pan, subtle rotation, scale push, color shift, or nothing. Stillness after motion is powerful.
+- **Don't start at t=0.** Offset the first animation 0.1-0.3s. Zero-delay feels like a jump cut.
+
+## What You Don't Do Without Being Told
+
+### Easing is emotion, not technique
+
+The transition is the verb. The easing is the adverb. A slide-in with `expo.out` = confident. With `sine.inOut` = dreamy. With `elastic.out` = playful. Same motion, different meaning. Choose the adverb deliberately.
+
+**Direction rules — these are not optional:**
+
+- `.out` for elements entering. Starts fast, decelerates. Feels responsive. This is your default.
+- `.in` for elements leaving. Starts slow, accelerates away. Throws them off.
+- `.inOut` for elements moving between positions.
+
+You get this backwards constantly. Ease-in for entrances feels sluggish. Ease-out for exits feels reluctant.
+
+### Speed communicates weight
+
+- Fast (0.15-0.3s) — energy, urgency, confidence
+- Medium (0.3-0.5s) — professional, most content
+- Slow (0.5-0.8s) — gravity, luxury, contemplation
+- Very slow (0.8-2.0s) — cinematic, emotional, atmospheric
+
+### Scene structure: build / breathe / resolve
+
+Every scene has three phases. You dump everything in the build and leave nothing for breathe or resolve.
+
+- **Build (0-30%)** — elements enter, staggered. Don't dump everything at once.
+- **Breathe (30-70%)** — content visible, alive with ONE ambient motion.
+- **Resolve (70-100%)** — exit or decisive end. Exits are faster than entrances.
+
+### Transitions are meaning
+
+- **Crossfade** = "this continues"
+- **Hard cut** = "wake up" / disruption
+- **Slow dissolve** = "drift with me"
+
+You crossfade everything. Use hard cuts for disruption and register shifts.
+
+### Choreography is hierarchy
+
+The element that moves first is perceived as most important. Stagger in order of importance, not DOM order. Don't wait for completion — overlap entries. Total stagger sequence under 500ms regardless of item count.
+
+### Asymmetry
+
+Entrances need longer than exits. A card takes 0.4s to appear but 0.25s to disappear.
+
+## Visual Composition
+
+You build for the web. Video frames are not pages.
+
+- **Two focal points minimum per scene.** The eye needs somewhere to travel. Never a single text block floating in empty space.
+- **Fill the frame.** Hero text: 60-80% of width. You will try to use web-sized elements. Don't.
+- **Three layers minimum per scene.** Background treatment (glow, oversized faded type, color panel). Foreground content. Accent elements (dividers, labels, data bars).
+- **Background is not empty.** Radial glows, oversized faded type bleeding off-frame, subtle border panels, hairline rules. Pure solid #000 reads as "nothing loaded."
+- **Anchor to edges.** Pin content to left/top or right/bottom. Centered-and-floating is a web pattern.
+- **Split frames.** Data panel on the left, content on the right. Top bar with metadata, full-width below. Zone-based layouts, not centered stacks.
+- **Use structural elements.** Rules, dividers, border panels. They create paths for the eye and animate well (scaleX from 0).
