auteur

The Claude Code skill that directs a website like a film.

Art direction is locked before a line of code. Assets are generated by local CLIs. Every ship is gated by an executable anti-slop linter and a real motion check.

Not a mockup — that's the live landing page. 131,072 GPU particles holding the wordmark, torn by the cursor and re-forming. Built by the skill it sells.

auteur is an Agent Skill: a SKILL.md plus reference recipes and a few runnable scripts. ~1MB, no dependencies, no API keys, no build step.

Any agent — one command. Detects what you have installed and writes to each agent's skills folder:

npx skills add agiwhitelist/auteur

Claude Code · Codex · Cursor · OpenCode · Gemini CLI · Windsurf · Cline · Goose · Copilot · Hermes · Kiro · Roo · OpenHands — 75+ agents, project-level or -g for global.

Claude Code, as a plugin — installs and updates in place:

/plugin marketplace add agiwhitelist/auteur
/plugin install auteur@auteur

OpenClaw:

openclaw skills install git:agiwhitelist/auteur --global

Anything else that reads a SKILL.md — clone it into the agent's skills directory:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/agiwhitelist/auteur ~/.claude/skills/auteur

Then just ask:

"build me a cinematic landing with auteur"

Claude runs the pipeline — commit-sheet → assets → build → gate — and hands you the site.

The proof: ten live sites

Don't take the pitch — open them. Each was built by auteur, and each passes the skill's own linter at 0 fails / 0 warns. The tenth was not built by Claude: Kimi K3 was handed SKILL.md and a brief, saw none of the other nine, and came out lit, serif and green in a category whose every reflex is black and gold — naming in writing, before it built, the four house tells it intended to break. The skill is the thing that travels, not the model.

FLUX / STATIC / SWARM / DRIFT are real-time WebGL. HALE is sourced CC0 geometry under a CC0 HDRI. TRUE NOON is 145KB with zero raster assets. PROOF is the system register — five routes gated for design-system drift. ATLAS and ABYSS are the video-scrub tier (reference/scroll-flight.md). HORO is the portability test: another model, same file, and the gates it had to satisfy are the same ones — slopscan 0/0/0, 53fps at DPR 2, worst contrast 6.50, and a page whose measured lightness (0.740) matches what its own commit-sheet promised before the build (0.72). The landing page is an eleventh, built by the discipline it sells.

There are no benchmark numbers anywhere in this repo. auteur is a design discipline, not a system with a throughput figure. The one quantitative claim — the linter result — you can reproduce in one command (below).

And it is not a component library. Nothing is pulled from a registry: every site above is authored from its commit-sheet up, vanilla, with no runtime dependency. If you want ready-made animated components to drop in, take shadcn or originkit.dev — this skill directs a page instead of stocking it.

How it works

A director's pipeline, enforced in order:
