# Desert Observatory Hero

> A website hero on five seconds of generated footage: a white domed observatory on a desert ridge under the Milky Way, its slit open on a red-lit telescope as the camera pushes in and the dome slowly turns. Giant wide capitals come into focus one letter at a time under a light italic serif line, and the observatory is cut out of every frame and drawn over them, so the full stop tucks behind the dome; a red reticle zooms in and locks onto a star, and a huge outline of the word runs behind the dome. Around it are a reticle wordmark and links, an observatory-red button, a glassy observation-log card with a live dot and a filling bar, and three short facts. Your agent writes one hero.json with your words and links; the build checks every length and writes a page and an embed, and a recorder makes a 1080p MP4 with sound.

- Output: Video, Cinematic hero on generated footage · words behind the subject · page + embed · 1080p MP4 with sound
- Price: $4.99 one-time, or included in Pro
- Page: https://lookbk.dev/skills/desert-observatory-hero

## What you need

- Node.js 18 or newer. Nothing to install.
- Chrome, Chromium or Edge, for the checks and the video (the scripts find it; set `CHROME_PATH` if they don't).
- ffmpeg for the video (`brew install ffmpeg`, `winget install ffmpeg`, `apt install ffmpeg`; or set `FFMPEG_PATH`).
- A web server for the page. Opened straight from disk (`file://`) browsers won't let the page draw the film, and it shows the still; `node scripts/serve.mjs out` serves it on localhost.
- Internet access when the page is opened: GSAP and the fonts load from jsDelivr (pinned, with an integrity hash) and Google Fonts. Without GSAP the hero shows its still with every word in place.

## Install

```bash
curl -fsSL https://lookbk.dev/cli.js | node - add desert-observatory-hero
```

The first run prints a sign-in link; open it, approve, and run the command again. Pro skills install for accounts that bought them or have Pro.

Where it installs:

- Run by Claude Code: `~/.claude/skills/desert-observatory-hero` only, the one folder Claude Code reads.
- From your own terminal: `~/.agents/skills/desert-observatory-hero`, which Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, Cursor and OpenCode read, and also `~/.claude/skills/desert-observatory-hero` when `~/.claude` exists.

Add `--claude` or `--shared` to write only one of those folders, or `--project` to install into the current folder instead. Start a new agent session afterwards so it picks up the skill.
