v1.2.0 — reproduces its credited originals

The credited looks and formats now reproduce the videos they come from. Each one was tested on its original's own topic by a fresh agent that had only this skill; the README shows every original next to that reproduction.

What's new

• Reproduces the originals. New style modules draw each original's signature pieces: handdrawn.js (@nahiddotai), motion.js (@digitalstrategyai), sand.js (@Michaelzsguo), lyric.js (@goodside), beat.js (@twoclipping).
• Signature checklists. Every credited guide lists the traits of the original and the helper that draws each one. The skill looks at the original's frames before planning and lays its render next to them in QA (scripts/reference_sheet.py).
• Faster. Frames are captured as JPEG (2–3× faster than PNG, visually identical after H.264), and the QA render is the delivery file. Same-topic test runs took 4–13 minutes each, down from 15–23.
• Headless-safe. The skill waits for its own research and renders instead of ending its turn, so non-interactive runs finish.
• New kit pieces. Phone and cursor props, subframe motion blur (VIDEO.blur), QUERY=lang=ko for two-language renders, and all declared fonts loaded before the first frame.
• README. Original-vs-reproduction pairs, a Contributing section (new looks welcome), and no fixed look counts.

Assets

• CodeVideo_intro_en.mp4, CodeVideo_intro_ko.mp4: a 45-second intro made with this skill in the default hand-drawn look.

No original prompt text is included; the guides are our own write-ups, credited to their creators.
