## What it does

Directs motion design with correct Persian/Farsi and right-to-left typography in Remotion or plain web code. Its rules ban per-letter boxes and per-letter fades for joined script, pad masks for Persian ascenders and dots, set `dir`, `lang` and `<bdi>` correctly, replace letter-spacing with kashida, and load the font with `FontFace` + `delayRender` so Chrome never falls back silently. Tooling covers HarfBuzz shaping to SVG outlines split into letter bodies, dots and connected groups, a zero-width-joiner splitter for per-letter animation, and a linter for Persian copy and layout code; eight technique sketches (one camera, beat cuts, line boil, dots-last, kashida) run in a browser or through Remotion. It ships Vazirmatn (OFL) with its license text. The repo is three weeks old with a single-day commit history, so it is listed as beta.

## Use when

- Motion graphics or kinetic type that contains Persian, Farsi, Arabic-script or RTL text
- Persian looks broken, disconnected or clipped in a render
- Per-letter or per-dot animation of Persian words
- A motion piece looks like a slideshow or 'AI-made'

## Not for

- Latin-only kinetic type (use kinetic-typography)
- Per-letter Nastaliq animation: the joiner split loses its cascade, animate by word or line

## Install

- Claude Code: `git clone https://github.com/atmirrr/persian-motion-director ~/.claude/skills/persian-motion-director`
