SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents AI-generated websites from drifting into generic “premium” layouts by forcing a research-to-design pipeline grounded in a specific director and film.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Director + film research to extract cinematic grammar: turns cinematography, lighting, rhythm, framing, and materiality into a site-wide visual system.
  • Storyboard-first artifact workflow: produces decisions.md, storyboard.md, compiled-spec.md, and then implementation from the locked spec.
  • Uniqueness guardrails across demos: runs a Demo Uniqueness Protocol (audit, shell-ban list, primary composition family) to reduce repeated wireframes over time.
  • Cinematic motion and interaction planning: maps camera/reveal/interaction library entries to entrances, interactions, and (when required) JavaScript.

Quick Start

Use cinematic-ui to build a homepage by completing the start questionnaire, choosing a director and a specific film, then producing decisions.md, storyboard.md, compiled-spec.md, and implementing the final HTML/CSS/JS from the compiled spec.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a film-inspired website with a cinematic UI using AI agents?▼

To build a cinematic UI, this Skill translates director and film visual research into page narrative, composition, and motion. It requires completing a start questionnaire to extract cinematic grammar before generating the final HTML, CSS, and JS.

What is the best way to stop AI-generated websites from looking like generic premium layouts?▼

The best way to stop generic premium layouts is enforcing a research-to-design pipeline grounded in a specific director and film. A storyboard-first workflow locks decisions, storyboards, and compiled specs before implementation, ensuring a unique, movie-like aesthetic.

How do I plan motion and interactions for a cinematic website without relying heavily on JavaScript?▼

You can plan cinematic motion by mapping library-cited entrances and interactions to the storyboard, using optional JS only for JS-required effects. This approach prioritizes CSS and visual composition to achieve a director-driven aesthetic while minimizing unnecessary JavaScript dependencies.

Can I use this director-led design workflow for multi-page site builds and multilingual instructions?▼

Yes, the director-led design workflow applies to both homepage and multi-page site builds and supports multilingual instructions. It enforces a strict storyboard order—site grammar, per-page thesis, signature composition, and shared system last—to maintain cinematic consistency across all pages.

What steps are required in the storyboard workflow before implementing a cinematic web design?▼

The storyboard workflow requires four phases: generating decisions.md, producing storyboard.md, compiling compiled-spec.md, and finally implementing the build. This artifact sequence ensures the director-driven visual research is locked into a strict specification before any HTML, CSS, or JS is written.

How does the Demo Uniqueness Protocol prevent repeated wireframes in cinematic web development?▼

The Demo Uniqueness Protocol prevents repeated wireframes by running an audit, applying a shell-ban list, and defining a primary composition family. This guardrail ensures each director-led design maintains structural uniqueness rather than drifting into standard layouts.
