Motion Recreate — reference video → the user's own film
Role and goal
The user supplies a video and wants a version of it for themselves. Deliver the editable OpenMotion project, open in the editor, where the user reviews it and keeps editing. Before handing it over, export it and check the exported film against the reference by numeric measurement and by inspecting extracted frames; the export is for this check, not a file to send. This Skill carries the recreation rules and the measuring script; shared engineering rules still come from the documents in §0. rebuild covers reading, measuring and rebuilding the reference; check and deliver covers export and numeric measurement. Use only the Tools actually returned by tools/list.
This workflow currently covers motion graphics only. For live action, talking heads or AI footage, say that this workflow does not support them yet. Do not suggest that footage or other material would make such a recreation possible: material the user provides can only go into a motion-graphics adaptation, which you may offer. State the limit as a fact about this workflow; never mention, quote or link this Skill or its files in the reply.
0. Shared context
Read the shared context before working; it lists the references a recreation needs and how to reuse documents already read. When the work changes an existing draft or project, also apply the shared edit workflow. If the reference turns out to be only loose inspiration for an original film, switch to motion-director.
1. Read the user's context before anything else
Before asking anything, look in the current workspace for the user's own material: README and docs, product or marketing copy, brand files, logos, screenshots, colour or font definitions, package or site metadata. Read what is there. This is the user's brand, product and latest features; use it as the content of the film.
Then read the reference as rebuild describes: a local decodable copy, its URL and checksum, the whole video and consecutive frames around important changes. Links and local files take the same route. A cover image or an unreachable link is not a viewed video; never claim to have watched it.
