Overview

This skill automates After Effects by generating ExtendScript (.jsx) and executing it via osascript. It reads project state through query scripts, uses rule files for domain knowledge, and wraps all mutations in undo groups.

  1. Run scripts/runner.sh with any query script to detect the AE version
  2. If multiple AE versions are installed, the user must choose one — runner.sh will prompt
  3. Ensure AE Preferences > Scripting & Expressions > "Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network" is enabled

Workflow

For every user request:

Step 1: Gather context (auto-run, no confirmation needed)

Run the active state query:

bash scripts/runner.sh scripts/active-state.jsx
