Project-specific instructions for Claude Code.

Innovation Philosophy

Excellence over MVP. Start with what's possible, design for what's desirable, constrain to what's viable last.

Animation Pipeline

/prototype "concept"    → HTML prototype
/animate prototype.html → Self-running autoplay
/brief                  → Guided creative brief
/storyboard             → Brief → scenes
/sizzle                 → Scenes → rendered video
/review                 → Quality evaluation

Personalities: cinematic-dark, editorial, neutral-light, montage. See /animate skill for details.

AI-Assumed Design Philosophy

Intelligence is infrastructure, not a feature to market. No sparkles, gradients, or "AI-powered" labels.

Git Workflow

• Feature branches required. Never commit directly to main.
• Run @dex repo check before starting new work.
• Pre-push: builds clean, no console errors, docs updated, worktrees cleaned up.
