Word-by-word ("karaoke") burned-in captions for avatar reels: each word appears at the instant it's spoken, building up the SAME phrase unit in place (frozen layout, no reflow), and the phrase clears when the next one begins. Use when the user wants captions/subtitles where words form the sentence as the narration says them (word-by-word reveal, karaoke captions, "las palabras van apareciendo") on any reel produced by the avatar-reel-composer pipeline.

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

# Caption word-by-word reveal

Karaoke-style captions for reels: instead of a whole phrase popping in at once,
each aligned **word appears the moment it's spoken**, building the phrase up in
place; already-spoken words stay lit and the phrase **clears when the next
phrase starts** (same "replace" progression as the static captions).

This is already implemented in the **`avatar-reel-composer`** finishing pass
(`finish_reel.py`) — this skill is how to apply/tune it and the invariants to
keep. It is the **default** caption mode (`caption_reveal="word"`).

## When to use
- The user wants captions where the words form the sentence as they're spoken
  ("palabra por palabra formando la frase", karaoke captions, word reveal).
- Applying that look to a **new** reel, or **re-captioning** an already-finished
  reel without regenerating any video.

## Requirements
- A reel folder produced by `compose_reel.py` (has `video_track.mp4`,
  `narration.mp3`, `reel_manifest.json`).
- **Word-level timings** at `narration.align.json` (faster-whisper alignment) —
  the reveal is driven by each word's `start`. Without it, captions are skipped.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add puntorigen/avatar-skills/caption-word-reveal@sha256:97d72e94bfa9bbc0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.037b8e1, 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.
