Create Motion Graphics

Use this skill when an ACP or local CLI task in ChatCut Desktop requires a Motion Graphic asset authored or patched as inline JSX. The built-in ChatCut Agent uses motion-graphic-gen and submit_motion_graphic instead.

ACP/local CLI Motion Graphics are direct-authored. Use create_motion_graphic_from_code for new JSX assets and edit_asset for existing MG JSX. This surface does not provide submit_motion_graphic; do not translate the request into a Gemini prompt or generation brief. If the direct-authoring tools are missing, stop and report that the ChatCut tool surface is out of date.

Pass Motion Graphic source inline through the Desktop MCP tool path. Do not stage code in the ChatCut repository, ai-working/, /tmp, a local HTTP server, generated code files, or guessed application paths when the tool accepts inline JSX directly.

Core Principles

• Inspect project state when canvas size, fps, existing visual language, placement, or timeline conflicts are not already known.
• Identify the required inputs in Before You Code before authoring JSX.
• Create or update Motion Graphic assets through the available inline-code asset workflow; use current tool schemas for exact payload shapes.
• Place or move assets through the timeline editing workflow when the edit requires timeline placement.
• Re-read project state and verify the visible frame after structural or visual changes.

Before You Code

Before writing JSX, identify only the information needed for this edit:
