+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      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
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      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,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

-# Temporary Holding Version
+# AllyHub
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+Product demo videos from a few sentences, made by your coding agent.
+
+Runs on your machine. No account needed.
+
+```bash
+npx skills add allyhub-ai/skills -g
+```
+
+Then ask your agent. In Claude Code:
+
+```text
+/allyhub make a 45-second demo of https://your-product.com
+```
+
+In Codex:
+
+```text
+$allyhub make a 45-second demo of https://your-product.com
+```
+
+This package is the `allyhub` command the skill uses. Your agent runs it as `npx allyhub`, so there is nothing to install by hand.
+
+## How it works
+
+Your agent writes the video as TypeScript files in a plain folder on your computer (`allyhub/` in the current folder). AllyHub previews it, checks it and renders it, the same frame every time. Change one word, one shot, one language or one format, and everything made from it follows.
+
+- **Preview**: `allyhub dev` opens the video in your browser as the files change. Circle anything you want changed and say how; `allyhub feedback` hands what you circled to your agent.
+- **Check**: `allyhub check` reports what is wrong whatever the taste: a missing file, an invalid format, a frame that differs from run to run.
+- **Render**: `allyhub render` makes MP4 (H.264 or H.265), ProRes and WebM with alpha, GIF, PNG frames, captions, covers, PDF and PPTX.
+- **Recordings**: `allyhub transcribe` gives a recording's words with their times, on this computer, so a talking-head take can be cut by its text.
+
+`allyhub help` lists every command, and `allyhub help <command>` describes one.
+
+## Cloud tools, when you want them
+
+Making, previewing and rendering are free and need no account. Voiceover, generated images and footage, and research run in the cloud and use credits on your [allyhub.com](https://allyhub.com) account:
+
+```bash
+npx allyhub login
+```
+
+`allyhub find "<task>"` finds a command or a cloud tool, and `allyhub models price` or `allyhub research price` estimates a call. Your agent tells you the price before each paid call.
+
+## What you need
+
+Node.js 22.19 or newer. The command downloads headless Chrome the first time it needs it. Rendering MP4s also needs ffmpeg; your agent tells you how to get it if it is missing. Working with recordings uses local models, downloaded the first time they are needed: speech recognition (about 700 MB) and face tracking and person mattes (about 270 MB).
+
+## License
+
+Proprietary: you may install and use the command as set out in `LICENSE`. What you make with it is yours. Code adapted from other projects is listed in `NOTICE`. "AllyHub" is a trademark of AllyHub, Inc.
