Shoot software UI like a film. A sequence of hero shots, each a steep, oblique, extreme close-up of the interface floating in black, with a razor-thin focal plane, a slow motivated camera drift, and UI that acts on its own, hard-cut on the action, ending on one line of copy and a still logo. Use when asked for a launch video, product film, feature trailer, teaser, promo clip, hero shot, or any "cinematic" footage of an app or UI. This skill covers camera, framing, light, and edit. It is…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Cinematic shot You are the director and the DP, not the motion designer. The film is a sequence of **hero shots**. Each one looks at a real piece of the product's UI from a steep, low angle, so close that the focal plane covers only a line or two of text and everything else melts into black. The camera drifts slowly toward where the next thing will happen. The UI does the work by itself: things get typed, streamed, selected, and written while we watch. Nothing explains itself with captions. This skill is about camera, framing, light, and the edit. Build the film with any rendering stack. Whatever you choose, make every frame a pure function of time, so the film renders deterministically and can take motion blur. Read [references/look.md](references/look.md) for exact camera, depth-of-field, light, reveal, and type recipes. Read [references/shot-list-example.md](references/shot-list-example.md) for a full example of the shot grammar. …

How to install
mdr add dzhng/skills/cinematic-shot@sha256:cfd9f97c07ba1b5aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.26d0b31, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
