From 5cd19fe1ca67b255fccfa697dc9425beb78d363b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vance Ingalls Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 17:34:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat(skills): add content-culture calibration + use-real-subject Content-culture calibration (beat-direction.md): genre table that constrains enrichment to match content energy register. Prevents treating a shoe ad like a documentary or a documentary like a tech demo. 6 genres: consumer launch, product demo, technical explainer, documentary, editorial, news/social. Use-real-subject (video-composition.md): when a composition is about a real artifact (photograph, painting, company UI), fetch and use it instead of placeholders. Lists public-domain sources. Exceptions for fictional, private, or consent-blocked subjects.
