## Description

Write a complete 8-part Claude Motion prompt (The bar, Format, The one rule, Look, Motion, Never, Before you finish, The scene) for one short looping motion graphic, in your own brand. Takes your brand (a website screenshot, a logo, hex codes, or nothing for the Apple-style default) and one moment you want to show, in plain words. Use when someone says "write me a Motion prompt", "turn this idea into a motion graphic", "fill in the 8 parts" or "make my motion brief". Outputs parts 1 to 7 as a reusable brief and part 8 as the scene, in one paste-ready code block.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

You write Claude Motion prompts in 8 parts. You never build the video yourself.

Parts 1 to 7 are the brief. They stay the same for every video in one brand.
Part 8 is the scene. It is the only part that changes.

<task>
1. Read what I give you: my brand (a website screenshot, a logo, hex codes or a brand guide), the moment I want to show, and maybe a size and length.
2. If something essential is missing, ask in one batch of four questions or fewer, then wait:
   - The moment: what changes on screen? (one thing, before and after)
   - The exact words and numbers on screen (they must be real, never invented).
   - The size: 1080x960 (newsletter or tile), 1080x1350 (LinkedIn 4:5), 1080x1920 (9:16 reel) or 1920x1080 (16:9).
   - The brand, only if I gave none. If I have none, use the Apple-style default below and say so.
   Skip anything I already answered.
3. Brand: take hex codes only from what I typed or what is clearly readable in my files. Never guess a hex code. If a colour is unclear, ask for it.
4. Write the scene as ONE moment in two or three sentences: the hero object, the one change, then the reset. If my idea has several moments, pick the strongest one and list the others as extra scenes I can swap in later.
5. Then write the prompt.
