v1.2.0 — Contributor guide, changelog, scene comparison

Documentation pass. No behavior changes to the pipeline; all 10-step / 6-mode / 14-director / 6-adapter shapes are unchanged.

Added

• CONTRIBUTING.md (bilingual) — project layout, how to add a director style / AI video tool adapter / output mode / eval case, the copyright-safety rule for style modules, doc conventions, PR checklist.
• CHANGELOG.md — Keep-a-Changelog format covering v1.0.0 → v1.2.0.
• references/director_styles/example_comparisons.md — one scene (a man with a wilted bouquet at an apartment door) treated four different ways: Spielberg, Kubrick, Wong Kar-wai, Bi Gan. Includes beat structure, camera grammar, color, sound, and a ready-to-use image-to-video prompt per style, plus a side-by-side comparison table. Concrete demonstration of what a style overlay actually changes.

Changed

• README.md and references/director_styles/README.md link the new comparison file.
• README.md lists CONTRIBUTING + CHANGELOG, extends the repo-structure tree, bumps version badge to 1.2.0.
• SKILL.md version bumped to 1.2.0.

Upgrade

cd ~/.claude/skills/cinematic-director && git pull

(Or, if you symlinked the dev directory in, no pull needed.)

v1.1.0 — 4 contemporary directors + CI + style evals

New director-style overlays (now 14)

#	Director	Lens
11	Denis Villeneuve 维伦纽瓦	Monumental scale, mist, geometric symmetry, low-rumble silence
12	David Fincher 芬奇	Surgical control, teal-amber palette, procedural investigation, restrained dread
13	Nicolas Winding Refn 雷弗恩	Neon color blocks, symmetric ritual framing, slow gaze, sudden violence
14	Bi Gan 毕赣	Misty SW-China small towns, single ultra-long take, dream-memory loops, poetic voice-over

CI

• markdownlint on every push/PR touching .md files (DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2-action)
• links offline link-check across all markdown (lycheeverse/lychee-action)
• .markdownlint.json relaxes rules unsuitable for prose-heavy bilingual content

Evals (now 7 cases)

Four new style-overlay cases verify a named director input visibly changes camera, color, pacing, and sound defaults — plus a copyright-safety assertion on each:

• kubrick-style-corporate-office
• wong-kar-wai-style-rain-street (overlay variant of rain-street-image-to-video)
• villeneuve-style-desert-encounter
• bi-gan-style-small-town-walk

Upgrade

cd ~/.claude/skills/cinematic-director && git pull

No breaking changes — pipeline shape, mode names, and existing director slugs are unchanged.
