Skill instructions

paper2reel - aligned artifact viewer paper2reel builds a browsing layer over existing artifacts. It does not replace or mutate paper2poster, ppt-master, paper2blog, or paper2video outputs. The key artifact is: text contentalignment.json It maps the canonical section ids from paper2assets's assets/meta/sections.json to: - poster DOM targets, usually [data-section="<id"]; - slide frame targets, usually one or more slide indexes; - blog blocks rendered from the same paper2blog content used for final DOCX; - video clips cut from the same final, Bottom-Bar-subtitled MP4 and timeline used for paper2video delivery. This sidecar lets a wrapper UI switch between Poster / Slides / Blog and jump to the corresponding location without adding visible engineering tags to the deliverables themselves. Viewer UX Contract The user-facing viewer must preserve the original poster as the default screen. When reel.html first opens, it should show only the poster itself: no permanent wrapper bar, no tab strip
