What problem does it solve? Authoring an explainer video in the Vawe engine requires choosing the right beat structure, pacing, and motion devices so facts land clearly without a product or site to show. This Skill provides the playbook for that video type, including when to use a single continuous action versus a multi-beat spine. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Length-adaptive spine: Under ~15s it switches to one continuous action (a held counted figure); at or past 15s it composes a hook -> build -> counted proof -> payoff beat structure with a 2.5-4.0s pace band. - Real counted figures: Enforces real, checkable numbers via the count layer, with automatic compaction for values >= 1e6, and requires the most surprising fact to land last. - Motion and scaffold guidance: Maps each beat role to named motion devices (kineticHook, containerFill, statReveal, wordBlast) and supports make scaffold TYPE=explainer DUR=<n> to generate the scene JSON. - Use Case: Ask the agent to turn a data-driven article into a 20-second 16:9 explainer video; it scaffolds the scene, orders beats so the payoff lands last, and keeps the pace quiet enough for facts to be read. ## Quick Start Use the vawe-type-explainer skill to plan a 20-second explainer video about this topic with real counted figures and the payoff saved for the final beat.
