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
# video-craft
Apply these craft principles while scripting, composing, prompting and editing; the numbers are starting points to adapt to the brief. They guide authoring, not mandatory local postprocessing of model output. Outside COMPOSE, before any pre-publish self-check, apply [production-method.md](../video-router/references/production-method.md): direct generation skips the review below, and mixed work reviews only local integration.
## 1. The opening (hook)
- The first **1–3 seconds** decide whether anyone keeps watching. Frame 1 must already carry motion or a text hook — no blank intro, no logo sting, no slow build.
- Strong hook shapes: a sharp question, a counter-intuitive claim, the promised outcome ("by the end you'll…"), the stakes, or showing the finished result first ("here's what we'll build").
- On muted autoplay the **on-screen text** is the hook — assume no sound for the first beat.
- *Weak → strong:* ✗ "In this video we'll look at caching." (slow build, no stakes) → ✓ frame 1, bold on-screen text "Your API is slow. One line fixes it." (stakes + promised outcome, readable muted).

How to install
mdr add orkas-ai/orkas/video-craft@sha256:400e8071ccf155eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.00a1599, 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.
