style-library is a skill for selecting and integrating reusable visual style cards and templates in video projects. It guides creators through filtering the catalog, managing dependencies, and checking rendered output.
Key features
- 01Filter styles by tier and purpose
- 02Inspect design tokens and slot limits
- 03Copy cards with their dependencies
- 04Lint and render-check selected cards
- 05Add styles and rebuild the registry
Use cases
- 01Choose a card for a video overlay
- 02Start a scene from a media template
- 03Check card text at maximum length

Details
From the project READMEReuse the style library
Read style-library/GUIDE.md, then style-library/registry.json. Filter by
style, tier, and purpose before opening individual cards. Read the selected
style's DESIGN.md, tokens.css, and manifest slot limits.
For an overlay, preserve transparency outside the card and the speaker's face.
For a takeover, use an opaque background. Copy the chosen card into the video's
compositions/, localize its CSS, fonts, and GSAP dependency, fill its named
data-slot values, and wire its timing using the HyperFrames skill. Copying a
card without its relative dependencies does not produce a complete asset.
Use style-templates/ for a whole-scene starting point. A media template may
require the student's own assets/source.mp4; check its README before rendering.
The catalog contains draft resources, not a promise that every card has passed rendered QA. Lint and render the selected card at actual project resolution, inspect its hero frame and transition, and check slot text at its maximum length.
When adding a style, use node scripts/style-library/new-style.mjs 03 my-style "My Style", then
complete its design tokens, manifest, and cards. Run
node scripts/style-library/build-registry.mjs after manifest changes. Keep
project-specific copy in the project, leaving reusable library cards generic.
