## What it does

The skill maps source text into a structured narrative of five to seven beats: hook, old way, new rule, mechanism, proof, payoff, and action. It organizes scenes into a beat ledger tracking copy, motion, and scroll weight. You pick exactly one rendering mode: scroll-scrubbed video, a real-time Three.js 3D world, or semantic HTML with kinetic typography and SVG charts.

Mixing modes by default is strictly forbidden. Sticking to one renderer keeps asset weight down and prevents brittle fallbacks. The skill also enforces native document scrolling. Scroll hijacking is out of the question.

Before generating code, it drafts a style bible covering palette, camera motion grammar, and metaphor. For video scrubbing, it details a single continuous 6 to 15 second shot with ffmpeg encoding rules. The skill will not spend generation credits or touch deployment files without explicit user approval.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill scroll-world-storytelling -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill scroll-world-storytelling -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill scroll-world-storytelling -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MengTo/Skills scroll-world-storytelling
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/scroll-world-storytelling/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill scroll-world-storytelling -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/MengTo/Skills --path agent-skills/web-design/scroll-world-storytelling
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill scroll-world-storytelling -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/MengTo/Skills/tree/HEAD/agent-skills/web-design/scroll-world-storytelling/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- convert long-form articles into scroll-driven narrative landing pages
- structure product stories into a 5–7 beat storyboard before coding
- set up video-scrubbed scenes with fixed keyframe encoding rules
- build spatial Three.js interactive scenes tied to document scroll

## Example prompts
- Turn this product launch article into a scroll-world landing page using Three.js
- Build a scrollytelling page from this case study using HTML, kinetic typography, and SVG charts
- Create a 7-beat narrative ledger and style bible for this brand story

description: "Turn an article, case study, brand narrative, product journey, or long-form story into a cinematic scroll-driven landing page using one of three renderers: scrubbed video, a real-time Three.js world, or semantic HTML/SVG data and typography. Use when the user asks for a scroll world, fly-through landing page, article-to-website transformation, animated planet, data scrollytelling, video-scrubbed page, connected visual journey, or story-led alternative to ordinary stacked sections."

# Scroll World Storytelling

Turn source material into one connected journey. Scroll advances a visual world and the copy reveals the story in deliberate beats.

The skill has exactly three production modes. Choose one primary mode before building:

1. **Video scrub** — generated or filmed footage, mapped to scroll.
2. **Three.js world** — a real-time 3D object, place, planet, or system.
3. **HTML / data / type** — semantic DOM, SVG charts, metrics, and kinetic typography.

Do not mix modes by default. A focused renderer produces a clearer concept, smaller test surface, and more reliable fallback.

## Start with the contract

Write these blocks before implementation.

### Goal

> Turn the supplied story into a one-page journey with 5–7 memorable beats and one final action. A first-time visitor should understand the thesis, tension, mechanism, proof, and payoff without reading the source.

### House rules

- Preserve the source thesis, sequence, facts, and caveats. Never invent proof.
- Use one connected world, one dominant motion grammar, and one art direction.
- Let motion carry transitions; let copy explain meaning.
- Keep one primary CTA. Keep navigation and utility controls quiet.
- Keep native, reversible document scrolling. Never hijack the wheel.
- Never spend generation credits, publish, deploy, or replace production files without approval.
- Keep builder and verifier separate when agents are available.

### Bar

- A visitor can explain the arc after one pass.
- Scrolling works forward, backward, slowly, and with a fast flick.
- No visible jump, flash, or unintended reversal at a seam.
- The page remains legible on mobile and with reduced motion.
- Every completion claim includes browser, console, responsive, and asset evidence.

## Read the whole source

1. Read the complete article or narrative.
2. Inspect the target repo, framework, asset pipeline, and current page.
3. Separate source facts from presentation ideas.
4. Collect supplied brand assets and 2–3 references when available.
