- Developer LexnLin released cinetic (cinema + kinetic), an open-source agent skill that makes your coding agent direct a short launch film instead of just arranging animation components. Install with npx skills add Leonxlnx/cinetic.
- From a two-sentence brief, the agent wrote concepts, branded, directed, scored and rendered Kiln, a 25-second 1920x1080 60fps teaser with sound.
- Key mechanics: before any code the agent drafts three concepts through different lenses and picks one story device; a library of 273 measured techniques in 14 categories is drawn via pick.py, weighted by format and energy so no two films share the same moves; three personality words define the visual brand.
- Repo includes evals and docs, ready for developers producing product launch videos.
