# Skills Showcase

Render a category-by-category animated skills showcase video (1080x1080, 30fps, ~48s) and produce
a 7-post X thread that maps skill clusters to concrete value.

## Quick Start

```bash
cd skills-showcase
npm install
npx remotion studio          # Preview in browser
npx remotion render SkillsShowcase out/skills-showcase.mp4
npx remotion render SkillsShowcase out/skills-showcase.gif --every-nth-frame=3
```

## Output Artifacts

- `out/skills-showcase.mp4` — Primary X upload (H.264, ~4.7 MB)
- `out/skills-showcase.gif` — Fallback/preview (~7 MB)
- `thread.md` — 7-post X thread copy

## Architecture

```
src/
├── index.ts                  # registerRoot entry point
├── Root.tsx                  # Composition registry (1080x1080, 30fps, 1440 frames)
├── SkillsShowcase.tsx        # Master timeline using <Series>
├── data/skills.ts            # Typed dataset: categories, skills, derived aggregates

│   ├── CategorySection.tsx   # Category label + staggered skill chips (2.67s each)
│   └── Outro.tsx             # Summary metric + tagline + CTA (4s)
└── components/
    └── SkillChip.tsx         # Reusable animated badge with spring entrance
```

## Data Model

Edit `src/data/skills.ts` to add or remove skills. The video re-renders deterministically from this dataset.

- **Category**: `{ id, label, color, order }`
- **Skill**: `{ slug, categoryId, shortDescription }`
- **Derived**: `totalSkills`, `totalCategories`, `skillsByCategory`

## Animation Conventions

All animations use Remotion frame-driven patterns only:

- `useCurrentFrame()` + `useVideoConfig()` for frame/fps
- `spring()` for entrances (damping: 200 for smooth, damping: 20 + stiffness: 200 for snappy)
- `interpolate()` with clamp for opacity and translation
- Zero CSS transitions or Tailwind animation utilities

## Timeline Pacing

| Scene | Frames | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Intro | 120 | 4.0s |
| 15 categories × 80 | 1200 | 40.0s |
| Outro | 120 | 4.0s |
| **Total** | **1440** | **48.0s** |

## Customization

- **Add a category**: Add to `categories` array in `src/data/skills.ts`, update `Root.tsx` duration
- **Change colors**: Each category has a `color` hex in the dataset
- **Adjust pacing**: Modify `CATEGORY_DURATION` in `SkillsShowcase.tsx`
- **Thread copy**: Edit `thread.md` directly

## Thread Strategy

See [thread.md](thread.md) for the full 7-post thread. Structure:

1. Hook + video attachment
2. Why skills beat one-off prompts
3. Consciousness & memory cluster
4. Research & analysis cluster
5. Full-stack implementation coverage
6. Niche high-signal specialist skills
7. CTA and discussion prompt
