Critical Rules
1. NEVER use emojis Use proper Geist icons from @geist ui/icons package
2. Use official brand assets Download from official sources, don't hand craft SVGs
3. Entry point must be .tsx Use src/index.tsx with registerRoot() , not .ts
4. Use prism react renderer for code Do NOT use regex based syntax highlighting
Quick Start
1. Scaffold the project:
2. Create core files (see references/project setup.md for templates):
remotion.config.ts Enable Tailwind
tailwind.config.js Geist colors and fonts
src/styles.css Font loading from CDN
src/index.tsx Root composition with registerRoot()
src/Root.tsx Composition definitions
src/utils/animations.ts Spring animations
3. Build scenes following the pattern in references/scene patterns.md

Scene Structure Pattern
Key Principles
1. NEVER use emojis Import icons from @geist ui/icons (e.g., import { Code, Folder, Check } from '@geist ui/icons' )
2. Success = Green Geist uses green for success states ( ds green 700)
3. Borders = gray 400 Default border color ( ds gray 400)
4. Inputs use bg 100 Primary background, not secondary
5. Spring animations Smooth, damped motion (damping: 200)
6. Tight letter spacing Headings have negative tracking
7. Use official brand assets Download logos from official sources (see references/geist icons.md)
