Free cheat sheet · Reel 004

One storyline. One skill.
One 40s reel.

The Claude Code skill behind the “Mum rations my tokens” reel. Six stages. The POV-flip rule. The reference-anchor prompt. The Remotion knobs.

What’s inside

  • The 6 stages — storyline → beats → frames → wire → render → ship. What each one produces and what the next one consumes.
  • The POV-flip rule — the single captioning move that turns a scroll-past into a save. Plus the worked 10 beats from reel 004.
  • The reference-anchor pattern — one anchor PNG keeps your character identical across 10 frames. With the trap (colour leakage) and the fix.
  • The Remotion duration table — set slideFrames, framesPerChar, outroFrames for any total length from 15s to 60s.
  • The skill blueprint — the SKILL.md scaffold and scripts/ layout so you can build your own “turn X into Y” Claude Code skill.
