Use when text must appear letter-perfect on generated media: taglines, CTAs, prices, legal supers, lower thirds, end cards, nameplates, or styled rich cards composited over Scenario images and video. Keywords: text overlay, text card, caption card, CTA, legal super, tagline, end card, lower third, price card, HUD text, transparent PNG.
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
# Scenario Text Overlay
## Overview
Generation models drift on type, so text that must be exact is rendered deterministically here and composited over the media. One JSON payload describes one overlay, in one of two kinds: a text layer (plain styled text in a box) or a rich layer (HTML/CSS typography: gradients, strokes, shadows, card layouts). Both substitute Mustache `{{variables}}` strictly (a missing variable fails the render) on a transparent canvas.
[scripts/overlay.py](scripts/overlay.py) renders the payload to a PNG with an installed Chromium-family browser (both kinds, discovered automatically) or a Pillow fallback (text layers only), embeds the payload JSON into the PNG, and prints the path. Its modules: [scripts/templating.py](scripts/templating.py) (strict Mustache), [scripts/html_render.py](scripts/html_render.py) (browser engine), [scripts/pillow_render.py](scripts/pillow_render.py) (fallback). The field-by-field contract and example payloads live in [references/payloads.md](references/payloads.md). The script needs `pip install chevron pillow`.

How to install
mdr add scenario-labs/skills/scenario-text-overlay@sha256:c97bfbdffed5b3f9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.5d223d9, 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.
