Core principle — deterministic scripts

Any recipe involving more than one capcut call, any arithmetic, or any branching ships as a parameterised shell script in scripts/. Claude invokes the script with inputs; the script runs a fixed sequence. If a recipe can be a script, it must be a script — not a narrative in references/.

references/workflows.md documents which script to call and why, never a reconstructable sequence.

Progressive disclosure

Start broad, drill into what you need. Never dump full project JSON.
