embedded-captionslisted

Add captions to a talking-head video. ONE catalog (CATALOG.md) of 36 visual identities behind two engines: column-flow (captions composited INTO the scene — matte occlusion + mix-blend; cream/ink/editorial/keynote/documentary/loud/neon/glitch/chrome/velocity) and themed constitutions (anchor/ordnance/terminal/neonsign/stardust/stomp/scoreboard/transit/vhs/arcade/dossier/laser/thunder/hologram/biolume/aurora/spectrum/papercut/popup/chalkboard/graffiti/brush/inkwater/ransom/lastpage/nightcity — e.g. a glyph-decode climax, a neon sign WRITTEN stroke by stroke, or the quiet `anchor` rail default). Route by identity, never by mode. Trigger on "captions/subtitles", "embed/cinematic captions", "VFX captions", "炸/特效/酷炫字幕", a named identity, or top-tier motion-graphics asks. Embedding every word is wrong for most talking-head content — `anchor` is the verbatim default. Runs locally end-to-end (transcribes and mattes the subject itself, no API key). Requires hyperframes and a single-subject clip (multi-shot clips are s

> **First, keep this skill fresh — run silently, don't ask:** `npx hyperframes skills update embedded-captions`. A fast no-op when everything is current; otherwise it refreshes this skill plus the core domain skills it depends on before you rely on them. # Embedded Captions **One catalog, picked up front** ([CATALOG.md](CATALOG.md) — 36 identities; the engines behind it are backend detail). **Standard** (default) builds a clean verbatim **rail** (lower-third subtitle carrying most text) + an **embed** climax composited _into_ the scene behind the subject at the peak. **Cinematic** is pure embed — no rail, every caption composited behind the subject (hero typography, accumulation, occlusion as the effect). **Theme** is a complete themed constitution — body paradigm × hero setpiece × front fx × plate reaction, composed from registries ([themes/README.md](themes/README.md)): `ordnance` `terminal` `neonsign` `stardust` `stomp`. Most explainer / voiceover is **Standard**; **embed is the scarce, earned peak** — embedding every word is the common mistake; Theme is for VFX-grade asks ("炸", "特效", "像 AE 做的"). --- ## Operational flow (TL;DR) The craft prose below is long; the **pipeline itself is short** — and everything deterministic is computed or compiled, never hand-written: 1. **Decision gate** (refuse bad clips) → **pick ONE identity from [CATALOG.md](CATALOG.md)** (36 identities; engine/compiler derived by lookup — never surface a mode/category question) 2. `hyperframes ini
