# cinematic-scroll (pointer)

The `cinematic-scroll` skill gives an agent the taste to build cinematic,
scroll-driven websites: pinned chapters, hero/multi-depth parallax, scroll-linked
3D tilt and camera moves, and environment-morphing backgrounds — from a single
self-contained `.html` section (Mode A) to a full Next.js release site with
optional AI-generated visuals (Mode B). Reach for it whenever the user asks for a
scroll-driven or cinematic site, pinned/sticky sections, parallax, a product
story page, an editorial microsite, or a release/launch/drop page.

**Canonical instructions: [`../../../SKILL.md`](../../../SKILL.md)** — the single
source of truth. Read it in full before building. This file is only a pointer; do
not duplicate SKILL.md content.

Use the project's existing design system or adapt the bundled token contract:
[`../../../design.md`](../../../design.md) + [`../../../tokens/`](../../../tokens/);
11 visual systems as machine themes in [`../../../themes/`](../../../themes/).
