director

A planning tool for short, design-focused motion graphics lasting about 3 to 30 seconds. It creates a shot plan describing the visuals, timing, and structure before composition code is written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan title animations, statistics, charts, logo reveals, lower-thirds, maps, and other short graphic sequences. It can create an initial plan before assets are sourced and refine the design afterward.
Why use it?
It turns a broad animation request into an organized production plan. This helps separate visual planning and asset searches from the later coding work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

director scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to director — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Motion-Graphics Director

Turn a request into a shot-plan.json for a short (~3–30s) design-led motion graphic. You run in two parts around the asset-sourcing step: Part 1 (plan) before sourcing, Part 2 (design) after. You do NOT write composition code — that's the Builder. Schema: references/shot-plan-ir.md.

Part 1 — Plan (before sourcing)

Emit a DRAFT shot-plan.json.

  1. Decide first: does this need a search? No → a form category (user supplies content). Yes → emit a search plan; the specific search-driven category (webpage / news / tweet / asset-fusion) is confirmed by what the search returns (Step 2 → finalized in Part 2).

  2. Classify — form categories by intent below; search-driven categories are picked post-search:

    Category Pick when…
    kinetic-type a punchy line / quote / title; text is the hero
    stat a single hero number / count-up
    charts bar / line / pie / race / % from data
    logo-reveal a logo sting / brand lockup (user supplies the logo)
    lower-thirds name/title bars, callouts, social overlays
    maps a geographic shot — highlight regions, connect places, zoom to a location. Sub-fork: vector (D3, stylized) vs basemap (baked MapLibre — real satellite/dark/zoom-to-place)
    webpage highlight / animate a real captured web page or UI (search-driven)
    news a news article → article-highlight: blur → zoom into keyword (search-driven)
    tweet a tweet → animated card (search-driven)
    asset-fusion a real photo/asset's geometry becomes the chart (search-driven)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
