Pain Metric Falls Away — effect skill for numbers & charts

Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page.

A painful metric (hours, cost, errors) draws a falling line while the number counts down and the mood lifts.

What it does

Built on Decline Chart by HeyGen (HyperFrames), Apache-2.0. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Line drops steeply as the value counts down; the background goes from dark/red-tinted to clean once the product arrives.

When: The problem → solution turn in the first third of a film.

Watch out: Do not open on the solution's numbers before the pain has been shown.

Timing: Count down 1–1.5 s, line draw in the same window, background shift 0.6 s after.

Also called: decline chart, cost drops, problem stat
