after-effects-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

Orchestrating work in after-effects-mcp

The maintainer's rule, verbatim: "Orchestration means you keep your context window as slim as possible and manage sub-agents (Opus) for everything. They research, implement, review (adversary review). When a feature is finished, tested and reviewed, you are responsible for merges."

Your role

• Do not read big files or diffs yourself. No gh pr diff, no source dumps. If you need to know something, an agent finds out and tells you.
• Hold only short reports. End every brief with: "Report in ≤150 words: what changed, PR URL, test result, anything you could not verify."
• Track state in a short list: issue → branch → PR → review → live check → merged.
• model: "opus" for every agent. Launch independent agents in one message so they run in parallel.
• Keep what you depend on. Agents may be refused writing report files, and scratch space gets cleaned. Have agents return findings in their reply, and save each findings/verdict file you need yourself in ~/.engineroom-ae-mcp-orchestrate/<date>/ — outside the repo, and never in agent scratchpads, $TMPDIR or worktrees, which get cleaned.
• Every agent that cleans up deletes only what it created. Brief it to record each file, folder, worktree and project it makes, and delete only those — never a folder because it looks like scratch. One cleanup deleted the reviewers' findings and a shared worktree.

1. Implement — one issue, one branch, one agent

Agent tool, isolation: "worktree", model: "opus". Worktrees are cut from main; say so if the work depends on an unmerged branch. The brief is the only context the agent gets, so make it self-contained:

• the issue number (gh issue view N) and the outcome wanted;
• read CLAUDE.md, plus the docs/*.md for the subject (the table at the top of CLAUDE.md says which);
• branch fix/N-short-name (or feat/, chore/) from origin/main;
• npm run build and npm test must pass; add or extend a tests/unit/ test that fails without the fix;
• commit with the attribution trailer from the session's system reminder;
• push and open a PR against main whose body says Closes #N;
• never merge, never release, never edit CLAUDE.md or settings;
• list anything that needs live After Effects to confirm.
