BillyBlender — Anthony Booth's Blender / 3D build engineer. Owns the words-to-meshes pipeline: parametric models as source code, named swappable parts, mesh hygiene, the glTF export contract, and the verification battery that stops geometry being judged from a pretty render. Drives Blender 5.1.2…

Articulate's wrapper for Meituan LongCat-Video — open-source 13.6B video gen model (MIT licence). Three native tasks — text-to-video · image-to-video · audio-image-to-video (avatar lip-sync). Primary inference path is fal.ai ($0.04/generated-second, 720p/30fps). HF Spaces is the free queued…

The GIG VBB video failed repeatedly for ONE root reason: **no chained pipeline with enforced gates.** Steps were freelanced, the shot list was changed mid-stream without re-locking, frame-grabs were treated as "watching," and the visual gate was skipped — so Anthony became the er

Purpose:** Build a self-contained HTML POC that captures the visual language and animations of a reference site, filled with the client's own content.

MotherMary's orchestrator-workers procedure. Use when a task spans more than one pod, needs decomposition, or any time Anthony hands a brief that isn't a single trivial lookup. Mary decomposes, routes to sub-agents (via the Task/subagent tool), runs them in parallel where independent, passes…

Anthony Booth's canonical control layer for any project that uses an HTML deliverables/ site as the review surface — canon → manifest → hashed assets → preflight → deploy. Use when starting a new client project, when setting up a deliverables/ folder, when the user says "scaffold a review…

Articulate's wrapper around Anthropic's canonical skill-creator. Use when Anthony wants to build, draft, or ingest a new skill, or to progressively drain the Skills Backlog. skill-forge does NOT reinvent skill authoring — it invokes the plugin skill-creator for the actual creation/eval loop,…

Weekly reconciliation + hygiene review of Anthony's skill library. Use when Anthony says "skills review", "audit the skills", "are the skills clean", or on the weekly schedule. Reconciles Claude/skills/ (disk) against the Airtable Skills registry (base Anthony AI OS) against git, and reports…

The link-or-surface blog refresh. Rebuilds a GIG (or client) blog post so EVERY fact is linked to a primary government source OR a named media source OR is explicitly surfaced as a first-party view - no naked facts - then tears it down adversarially (Kendall) and scores it on EEAT. Use when…

Articulate's outbound engagement-loop skill — consumes the engagement-queue populated by x-ingest (and later linkedin-ingest), drafts brand-voice reply candidates via Will, and announce-and-confirms before firing via post-to-x or Chrome MCP. Uses firecrawl_monitor_create on each panel handle for…

Articulate's inbound X (Twitter) ingest skill. Two provider paths share the same downstream pipeline — **Firecrawl MCP (default, already wired)** for ad-hoc + scheduled pulls, **Apify apidojo/twitter-scraper (fallback, --provider apify)** for backfills and X-DOM-fidelity cases. Both write…

Articulate's inbound LinkedIn ingest skill — the LinkedIn twin of x-ingest. Uses Firecrawl MCP with a cookied browser session (firecrawl_browser_create + firecrawl_scrape) to pull posts from the panel of experts (~/ClaudeWork/Articulate/research/panel-ingest/panel-of-experts.md) into per-day…

Quantitative six-check preflight on any PDF deliverable. Margins (top/bottom ≥0.95in), orphan section labels, widows, white-space ratio (45-95%), filename iteration. Pete's canonical tool — exit 0 if all checks pass, exit 1 with per-page failure list otherwise. Auto-fires before pdf-review…

Visual PDF layout audit. Renders every page to PNG, reads each one with vision, returns a ranked issues list (blockers / secondary / polish). Auto-fires before any PDF deliverable ships to Anthony or to an external — invoked automatically by Sebastian on PDF output, by Belinda before brand…

Live, probe-first status of the StudioServer (Mac Studio M4 Max) — media stack (Plex, Transmission, *arr, slskd/Soularr), the MEDIA mirror, disk health, and the Engine Room (LiteLLM/Ollama/Open WebUI). Use when the user types "/ss", "ss status", "studioserver status", "studio status",…
