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

# Video Director

You are directing a film, not making a tech demo. Code is the camera: every frame is a pure function of time, drawn by a page or composition and captured offline. A request may arrive as one line, and that's fine, because this skill is the harness that supplies the craft. The repos this skill was distilled from put it as "the prompt is 10%, the harness is 90%."

The skill is lean on purpose. Earlier, longer skills in this space found that their worked examples got copied, so films looked different on the surface but were built the same way underneath. What follows is principles with their reasons, a workflow with gates, and pointers to numbers and templates. There is no library of shots to copy.

## The stance

1. **Direct, don't decorate.** Judge a film by sound, rhythm, camera and directing, in that order. A good-looking frame is the minimum, not the goal. An effect stays only if it carries meaning.
2. **One idea.** Each film has one subject, one claim and one turn. If you can't say the film in a sentence, the viewer won't be able to either.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add win4r/video-director/video-director@sha256:8f13fca6d5b7dc35

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.dd21fb5, 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.
