Vertical (9:16, 1080x1920) short-form version of the Fireship "Code Report" editor for Shorts / Reels / TikTok, 30 to 60 s over a voiceover or any audio overlay. Faceless, 100% B-roll that LITERALLY shows each line (real news/event footage as full-width bands over a blurred fill, Wikipedia/doc highlighter cards, real tweet cards, built-up diagrams, meme cut-ins, slapped-on stickers), hard cut every ~1.5 s, word-chunk captions in the safe zone. Use when Kevin asks for a Fireship-style short, a…

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

# Fireship-style SHORT (vertical faceless news short)

The long-form skill (`fireship-style-edit`) is the source of truth for the grammar: **read its section 0
(LITERAL VISUALS) and section 3 (devices) first.** This skill only changes what a phone needs. Both
skills share one engine: `fireship-style-edit/templates/fireship_engine.py`, which switches to 1080x1920
when `FIRESHIP_CANVAS=9:16` is set before import. `templates/short_kit.py` sets that and adds the
vertical helpers, so a short's `render.py` starts with `from short_kit import *`.

Reference build: `examples/weird-hack-short/render.py` (the 60 s vertical cut of "The most
interesting hack in history just got weirder", built from the same footage as the long-form edit).

## 1. What changes for vertical

| | Long-form (16:9) | Short (9:16) |
|---|---|---|
| Canvas | 1920x1080 | **1080x1920** |
| Length | 5 min | **30 to 60 s** (one story, one payoff) |
| Cut rate | ~2.2 s median | **~1.5 s median**, nothing static > 1.2 s, diagram builds ≤ 8 s |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kevinbadi/open-edits/fireship-style-short@sha256:8219c31779bbe07f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.2bdc51e, 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.
