Make a papercut reel, video or explainer end to end. Short vertical (9:16) cut-paper explainers from a link (repo, product page, announcement), idea to mp4. Also routes partial asks to the stage skills and hands out the style prompt for other tools.
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 Explainer
A ~20-45 s vertical explainer that looks like layered construction paper brought to life: grainy paper props with drop shadows, rigid cut-out animation, a slow camera push with stop-motion paper boil, a taped headline banner per beat and word-by-word torn-paper caption tags. Built with Remotion, optional AI-generated textured assets, and any TTS.
Every beat runs three tracks:
- the voiceover tells the story
- the taped banner adds a hard fact the voiceover skips
- a fresh paper set illustrates the voiceover's words, with a rough papercut rebuild of the product UI doing the demo
Reuse the style and the storytelling, not the worked examples' content. Every product, company and number in the examples is invented. The style rules are in `references/style-guide.md` (section 2 is the Style DNA).
## Preflight
- **Library.** Resolve `$PAPERCUT_LIB`, else the `PAPERCUT_LIB=` line in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/papercut-explainer/config.env`, else ask once. Never hard-code a machine path. Stages 1 to 4 need no library.
- **Install mode.** Probe it before promising a stage (see Install modes below).

How to install
mdr add 0xs4n4tg/papercut-explainer/papercut-explainer@sha256:21354ac8146c08aaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.ff8223a, 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.
