Kinetic type for web and video: line, word or char splits, mask and blur reveals, variable-font motion, frozen-frame QA.

What it does

Animates text for web and video: pick line, word or character granularity, then apply mask, blur, clip-path or stagger reveals with concrete easing and stagger timings, animate variable-font axes through font-variation-settings, or run SVG text along a path, with recipes for CSS, GSAP SplitText, Framer Motion and Remotion. For HTML deliverables it requires splitting only after document.fonts.ready, a ?t=N freeze harness for deterministic screenshots, and a start/mid/end check for clipped glyphs, FOUC and wrong line breaks. The verify helpers (Playwright screenshots, an ffmpeg contact sheet, an ffprobe spec check) live in the repo-root scripts/, so they arrive with the Claude Code plugin install but not with a skills-CLI install that copies only the skill folder. Per-character splitting breaks Arabic-script joining; use Persian Motion Director for RTL text.
