lpm: Skill for Claude Code

Races two models on one prompt and cuts it into a TikTok. It writes a lesson for the short skill and records it with that skill's pipeline. Everything in that SKILL.md still holds and is not repeated here: payoff-first cut, captions, safe zones, review, the lesson data dir and workspace, foreground takes.

What the video shows (about 17 s)

Most of it is the two finished pages, with nothing written over them, so viewers can compare them: the opening and the ending are spoken without captions ("caption": false on hook, tease, reveal and wrap), the headline goes after 2.5 s (headlineMs), and lpm.cx sits at the right end of the cyan bar (mark in compare.json) instead of the end sticker ("cta": false). Only the one line over the terminals is captioned.

1. Cold open on the payoff for two lines ("open": 2, about 4–5 s): both animations running one above the other, a colour bar over each row with the model and its finish time, and the headline for its first 2.5 s. It starts with the two model names slammed in big (slam in lesson.json, written by new.js): model A in cyan from the left, VS, model B in pink from the right, over the dimmed pages. At 1.65 s they shrink away into the headline, and that slam frame is the cover. A race between brands is named the way people search for it: "Claude or ChatGPT?" spoken, "Claude vs ChatGPT: Fable 5.1 vs GPT-6 Sol 🦒" as the headline, "Claude vs ChatGPT for coding:" leading the caption ("Claude vs Grok" for a Grok model in Cursor). The second line says what both models were asked to build ("Same prompt: a giraffe flying a plane."), so viewers know the prompt without reading it in the terminals. Keep it when rewording lesson.json. It also keeps the result on screen: a one-line opening lost most viewers at 0:02, when it cut to the setup.
2. No setup on screen. Picking the models, typing the prompt and Run in duplicates all happen under the two opening lines, where the payoff hides them, so the video goes from the opening straight to the race.
3. Both models at work in lpm, one above the other, for one line (about 3 s, the only shot of the terminals): "Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra build it in lpm's terminal." The camera pushes in on each row's start banner as its model is named (for Cursor, its status line, which it draws just under the prompt; for Muse Code, its status line at the foot of its screen), then goes wide on "terminal". The clocks on the bars tick from the first frame of this shot.
4. The build is jump-cut as soon as that line ends. The clocks stop on each agent's real finish. A lesson written before 2026-10-19 still spends a second line ("Both are building it now.") on the terminals and captions its pages; the beats still run it, but rewrite it with new.js --force for the shorter cut.
5. Both index.html files open in lpm's own browser, one per row. The payoff shot starts as soon as the camera goes wide on them, so it outlasts the two-line opening. Every video ends on them by asking viewers which two models they want compared next, in the comments ("Which giraffe wins? Comment two models to race next."), and the caption asks too. Keep that ending when rewording lesson.json. It asks for suggestions; it never promises or teases a particular next video.
