The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Character Animation QA
Use this skill before presenting a character-animation preview or final render.
Review Layers
- Schema validation: character design, rig plan, pose library, action timeline.
- Static asset checks: referenced parts and backgrounds exist.
- Browser preview: load the preview, capture screenshots, collect console errors.
- Motion check: compare sampled frames for non-trivial differences.
- Final MP4 check: ffprobe metadata, duration, resolution, audio, frame samples.
- Agent visual review: inspect sampled frames for detached limbs, bad layers, off-frame characters, unreadable expressions, broken text.
Playwright Pattern
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage({ viewport: { width: 1280, height: 720 } });
await page.goto(previewUrl, { waitUntil: "networkidle" });
await page.screenshot({ path: "preview.png" });
Pass/Revise/Fail
pass: technical checks pass, acting is readable.revise: fixable rig/timeline issue.fail: missing assets, blank render, runtime failure, or wrong runtime.
