# Changelog video for a terminal update

> A 25-second motion design video announcing updates to the creator's own tools, paracortex terminal and pi 1.0, for posting on X. The prompt leaves what to show and highlight to Claude Fable 5.5; the creator says it took about 15 minutes.

## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this video

These are the creator's published instructions, unedited.

To adapt it: Replace "paracortex terminal and pi 1.0" with the product and release you're announcing, and change "25 seconds" and "make it lively" to set the length and tone.

## Prompt

```text
I'd like a motion design video to present on X for our update to paracortex terminal and pi 1.0

25 seconds should do and I'm giving you free range for what it shows, how it shows it and what to highlight and what to merely mention

make it lively
```

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A deep teal changelog film with a glowing prompt-and-infinity mark, serif feature headlines beside interface panels, and a closing title card with a mascot.

- Color: Deep navy-teal background with faint stars, cream type, pale green highlights, a red rubber stamp, a peach transition frame, and a bar chart in green and orange.
- Type: A soft serif for headlines ("Diagrams plot in live, stroke by stroke."), small monospaced labels and version tags, and an italic serif tagline at the end.
- Framing: 16:9 frames that pair a headline on one side with a panel on the other: a chat composer, a flowchart stamped CHOSEN, a latency bar chart, and an approval card next to a bulleted list of other changes.
- Structure: A glowing ">_∞" mark, the composer reporting what Pi did, a flowchart drawn stroke by stroke and stamped, agent-made views with a bar chart, a peach wipe, "Nothing is approved without you seeing it." with a list of other updates, and the Paracortex Terminal title card.
