Motion Lab: strict guardrails let Gemini 3.8 Flash ship 60 FPS code-driven motion graphics

A developer released Motion Lab (open source, React 19 + Remotion + GSAP 3, v0.8.0), testing how far lightweight models like Gemini 3.8 Flash can go at code-driven motion graphics when fenced in by strict guardrails instead of free-form prompting:
- 20 studio workflow skills (.agent/skills) guiding direction, engineering and auditing
- 23 declarative template kits and 28 reusable primitives so the model never guesses coordinate math
- Static AST rules banning layout-property animation (width/top), enforcing transform/opacity only
- Pre-render audits catching bad palettes, unreadable font sizes, dead holds and spec drift
The attached video is an actual 60 FPS MP4 rendered by this pipeline. The author is seeking feedback on orchestrating LLMs for frontend/canvas/video animation.
