video-digest-site

Input: project dir with digest.json + processed groups/<group>/<item>/ (manifest, highlights, sel_*, take.json; optional zh.json). Needs Pillow.

Build

python3 scripts/vd_site.py <project>                 # single-file digest.html (data-URI images)
python3 scripts/vd_site.py <project> --dist <project>/dist   # folder site (index.html + assets/)

• Single file: for the claude.ai Artifact tool. HARD CAP ~8 MB — over ~10 MB hosted artifacts truncate/403. Size is slide-count-bound; levers: slide_cap in digest.json, IMG_W/IMG_Q in the script. Big events → use dist mode instead.
• Dist folder: crisp 900px slides as separate files; publish with the here-now skill: bash ~/.claude/skills/here-now/scripts/publish.sh <project>/dist --slug <slug> --client claude (re-publish to the SAME slug to update). here.now fails >1000 files — check ls dist/assets | wc -l; if near, lower slide_cap.
• Talks/highlights link to YouTube (source.json url) at the right timestamp automatically.

Verify before publishing

Open the built file in a browser (or agent-browser skill): check a card → detail → slide captions render, hash routing works (#back button), no horizontal scroll, and (if zh) the toggle.
