papercut-qa SKILL.md skillA
papercut-qa from 0xs4n4tg/papercut-explainer is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Check a papercut reel's stills against the style DNA and the storyboard. Renders contact sheets at a few timestamps, runs the full checklist, then writes the delivery summary. Use for "QA the reel", "check my scenes look like paper", "is this ready to post".
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
# Papercut QA
Compare stills for style, not content, against the Style DNA and the storyboard. Run it per scene while building and once on the whole reel before the final render.
## Preflight
- Install: **Standard** or Full. Stills need a scaffolded project with Remotion, and the contact sheets need Python with numpy and Pillow (`$PAPERCUT_PY`). Missing pieces: `./install.sh --doctor`, then `papercut-setup`.
- Library: `$PAPERCUT_LIB`, else the `PAPERCUT_LIB=` line in `~/.config/papercut-explainer/config.env`, else ask once.
- Read first: Style DNA in `../papercut-explainer/references/style-guide.md` section 2, and the backdrop sheet `library/papercut/public/bg/backdrops/_sheet.jpg`. Each image costs about 0.7-1.5k tokens, so open only what the step needs.
- For density, `../papercut-explainer/references/frame-breakdown.md` ("Pacing stats" at the end): scenes average 2.8 s, 2-4 discrete visual events per scene, one every 0.4-0.8 s on a stressed word, a new caption page about every 0.6 s. Copy the density, not the content.

How to install
mdr add 0xs4n4tg/papercut-explainer/papercut-qa@sha256:f43ce2e67f37e5efThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.1bd2785, 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.
