Plan scene transitions for a motion graphics video made from HTML. Plan the handoff at every cut of a vawe film so the transitions are continuous, varied and chosen, not defaulted: name what carries over, run the idea method (guides/IDEATE.md) with the twelve families as devices, keep a ledger, and set up the execution. Load at stage 5, when you fill the Board's handoff column.

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

# vawe-transitions: one handoff per cut

Run this skill inside a vawe checkout: `AGENTS.md`, `taste/` and `bin/vawe` live there. With no checkout, get one: `git clone https://github.com/vawe-hq/vawe.git && cd vawe && npm install && bin/vawe-dev doctor`.

A model asked for a transition writes the same few: a crossfade, a whip pan, a slide-up, a scale-in. This skill makes the choice on purpose.
The grammar (the twelve families, when each fits, its cost, moves to copy) is in `taste/craft/transitions.md` "The twelve handoff families": read it first,
it is not repeated here. Seam timing is rule `seam-timing`; the eye at a cut is in the same craft doc. This file is the procedure.

Run it for every cut of the Board's cut table, then write the result in its `handoff (family: object)` column and the ledger table.

## Per cut

1. **What changes, what carries over.** One line: place, state, scale, time, a reveal or a payoff changes. Name the handoff object: the one thing that leaves
   A and starts B, with its screen position, scale, direction and speed on both sides. If nothing carries over, the family is `deliberate cut`
   and you write why (on a beat, for shock, a tonal flip).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vawe-hq/vawe/vawe-transitions@sha256:e75d2b2ca64794df

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.f4cb385, 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.
