## What it does

The skill turns a number into a short clip: about 3,200 tiny points drift like a night sky, gather into the shape of your figure, a thin accent line draws underneath and the label rises into place. Each point stands for one follower, subscriber or customer. The tone is a product launch, not a party — no confetti, no bounce.

Before building, it asks for four things: the number exactly as it should read with commas, a screenshot or link to the dashboard that shows it, the label word for word, and the brand plus size. The figure must be real and sourced. If the source says 12,431, the clip says 12,431 — rounding up or adding a plus sign is out. No source, no clip. If `brand.md` and `MOTION.md` are missing, run `brand-intake` first or hand over hex codes, a font file and a logo.

Then the skill hands you a build brief for Claude: one self-contained HTML file with canvas, a fixed random seed for every position, and `window.seek(seconds)` that draws any exact frame from the time alone. After the build it captures frames at 0, 2, 4.5, 6.5, 7.5, 9.5, 11 and 12 seconds and checks that frame 12 matches frame 0. Export runs through HyperFrames: `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes`, then `npx hyperframes render`. For a Reel, the MP4 goes to `reel-export`, and the source of the number belongs in the caption.

## Requirements
- Works with: LinkedIn

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --skill milestone-reveal -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/milestone-reveal/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/milestone-reveal/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --skill milestone-reveal -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/milestone-reveal/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --skill milestone-reveal -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/milestone-reveal/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install charlie947/motion-graphics-skills milestone-reveal
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --path skills/milestone-reveal
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/milestone-reveal/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --skill milestone-reveal -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/charlie947/motion-graphics-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/milestone-reveal/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- make a milestone clip with a real follower count for LinkedIn
- show revenue or customer numbers in a short video
- produce a loop with no visible seam
- check that the figure stays readable at feed size
- render one exact frame by timestamp for review

## Example prompts
- make a milestone clip: 250,000 LinkedIn followers, here is the dashboard screenshot
- animate my subscriber count into a 12-second 1080 x 1350 clip
- build a number reveal with the label "LinkedIn followers" and my font

description: Make a 12-second looping milestone clip in code with Claude Code. Thousands of tiny points drift like a night sky, pull together into your real number (followers, subscribers, revenue, customers), a line draws underneath and the label settles in. Premium, not a party. Use when someone says "milestone video", "celebrate 10k followers", "animate my subscriber count", "number reveal", "particle number animation" or wants to mark a result on LinkedIn or Instagram.

# Milestone reveal, built in code

Each point is one follower, one subscriber or one customer. They gather into the number, hold, then drift apart so the loop has no jump.

**Before you start:** read `brand.md` and `MOTION.md` if they exist. If not, run `brand-intake` first, or ask for hex codes, a font and a logo file. Never call a result on-brand without them.

## Step 1: Ask for four things, then wait

1. **The number, exactly as it should read,** with commas. Example: "250,000".
2. **Where it comes from.** A screenshot or link to the dashboard that shows it. No source, no clip.
3. **The label,** word for word. Example: "LinkedIn followers".
4. **Brand and size.** Background, particle and accent colours, the font file (attached), and the size. Default 1080 x 1350, 12 seconds.

The number is the user's real, sourced number. Never round it up, never add "+", never swap a target for a result. If the source shows 12,431, the clip says 12,431 or the user picks a lower round figure themselves.

## Step 2: Build brief (paste into Claude Code)

```
Build one self-contained HTML file (canvas) for a 12-second seamless loop at [WIDTH] x [HEIGHT]. Tone: premium product launch, not a party. No bounce, overshoot, confetti or sparkle bursts.

Fixed text (real figure, do not alter, round or restyle): "[NUMBER]" and "[LABEL]". No other text on screen.

Brand: background [BG], particles and number [INK], accent line [ACCENT]. Font: the attached [FONT] files, embedded as base64. If the font file is missing, stop and ask me.
