vid-motion-graphics — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited vid-motion-graphics (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Generates multi-scene motion graphics as MP4. Renders HTML/CSS animations in headless Chromium via Playwright (Web Animations API frame-seeking), assembles PNG frames with FFmpeg. No React, no AI APIs, no Python — zero new dependencies beyond the graphic-gif family.
CDN fonts only. No external libraries in HTML.
currentTime seeking is silently ignored for backward seeks in Chromium. The renderFrame approach: a pure JS function computes opacity/transform directly from milliseconds. Playwright calls it once per frame. Deterministic, race-free.animation-delay, stop — you're using the wrong architecture.capture-frames.mjs calls __stopPreview() before the frame loop. Always include it.t <= 0 at frame 0 makes scene 1 black. The correct guard is if (t < startMs || t >= endMs) return hidden.1080px, 1920px). No %, vw/vh, or responsive units.opacity: 0 outside their renderFrame window.display toggle, no visibility — GPU-composited opacity is frame-perfect.Required: content_brief
Optional parameters and defaults:
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| content_brief | — | Text describing what the video communicates (required) |
| scenes | auto | Number of scenes (1–6). Auto = derived from brief. |
| duration_per_scene | 3s | Duration per scene in seconds (1–8s) |
| style | kinetic-dark | kinetic-dark / editorial-light / data-pulse / bold-type / minimal-clean |
| aspect_ratio | 1:1 | 1:1 (1080×1080) / 16:9 (1920×1080) / 9:16 (1080×1920) |
| fps | 30 | Frames per second (24, 30, or 60) |
| music | none | Path to audio file for background track (mp3/m4a/wav) |
| source | — | Source attribution shown in final frame footer |
If `content_brief` is missing, ask exactly:
"To create the video, I need a content brief — what should the video communicate?
>
Example: 'Show 3 reasons why Q4 revenue grew 85%: new enterprise deals, reduced churn, price increase. Use bold numbers. Style: data-pulse.'
>
Optional: style (default: kinetic-dark), aspect ratio (default: 1:1), seconds per scene (default: 3s)"
If content_brief is present → proceed to Step 2 immediately.
1. Parse brief into scenes (max 6):
2. Read `references/scene-library.md` — choose scene type for each scene:
title-cardstat-revealbullet-listsplit-screenquote-cardcta-card3. Read `references/style-presets.md` — load CSS tokens + animation personality for chosen style.
4. Calculate timing:
totalDuration = sceneCount × duration_per_scene (seconds)
totalFrames = totalDuration × fpsEach scene occupies (100 / sceneCount)% of the total @keyframes range.
| Scene | Start % | End % |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0% | (100/N)% |
| 2 | (100/N)% | (200/N)% |
| … | … | … |
| N | ((N-1)×100/N)% | 100% |
Within each scene's range:
5. Determine pixel dimensions:
1:1 → W=1080, H=108016:9 → W=1920, H=10809:16 → W=1080, H=1920Read references/scene-library.md AND references/style-presets.md before writing any code.
