- Brand
- Verdance
- Headline
- Grown in glass
What you get
- A one-page hero and a paste-in embed with your name, words and links
- A film that loops forever with no visible restart, checked frame against frame
- A tall cut of the film for phones, so the subject fills a portrait screen
- DM Serif Display and DM Sans in this hero's own colors, with words that rise in once as the page opens
- A poster frame for reduced motion and while the film loads, so it is never blank
- Checks at 390, 768, 1280 and 1920 px: 14 px minimum text, a headline nothing touches, 44 px tap targets, no overflow
- A 1080p MP4 and a 1080x1920 phone MP4, rendered frame by frame
- Open-source licenses for every part it builds on
Good fit
- Plant shops, gardens and botanical brands get a pale frosted panel with numbered links beside tree ferns stirring in a misty Victorian glasshouse.
- It is one of the few light-mode video heroes: dark green DM Serif type on a frosted mint panel, so it suits fresh, daytime brands.
- On a phone the panel becomes a sheet rising from the bottom, with the glasshouse framed above it.
Not for
- Your own video: the layout and colours are set for this film (tree ferns and palms stirring inside a misty Victorian glasshouse while pale morning sun moves through the beams)
- Changing the colors, fonts or layout through settings (every word and link is yours; the look is fixed)
- Long headlines: two short lines, with limits the build enforces
- Sound: browsers only autoplay muted video, and the film is silent
- Full landing pages below the hero (see the Landing Pages series)
About this skill
A full-screen website hero on five seconds of generated film that loops with no seam: tree ferns and palms stirring inside a misty Victorian glasshouse while pale morning sun moves through the beams. It uses a side-column layout: a frosted panel the full height of the screen with the wordmark, numbered links, a two-line headline, the introduction, the buttons and short facts, with the film beside it. Wide screens get the wide film and phones a tall cut framed on the subject, so a phone never shows a letterbox or an empty half; every text is at least 14 px and nothing touches the headline. Your agent writes one hero.json with your words and links; the build checks every length, a check at four widths enforces the layout rules and the seamless loop, and a recorder makes 1080p and phone MP4s. It suits a plant shop, garden, botanical, wellness, interiors or any fresh, green, crafted brand.
Example request
Make a Fern Glasshouse hero for our plant shop: 'Rare and / green', shop and care links, three facts, and record it.
How it works
Your agent
- 1
Collect the words
Every number, price and claim must come from the person.
- 2
Write hero.json
Copy
<skill>/examples/verdance/hero.json(Verdance, rare plants from our glasshouse) and replace every value. - 3
Build
It lists every problem at once (a missing field, words too long for their place, a bad link) and writes nothing until they're fixed.
- 4
Check
It opens the page at 390, 768, 1280 and 1920 px wide and with reduced motion, and fails on: script errors, sideways scrolling, any text under 14 px, a headline smaller than 6.5% of the screen or that anything else touches, a headline closer than 24 px under the bar, overlaps, text that spills out, links without an address, buttons shorter than 44 px on a phone, a hero that doesn't fill the screen, and a film whose last frame doesn't match its first.
- 5
Look at it
Open the address it prints, and narrow the window to see the phone layout and the tall film.
- 6
Record the video (optional)
Writes
out/preview.mp4(1920×1080, 30 fps, one loop) andout/poster.png; with--tall,out/preview-tall.mp4andout/poster-tall.pngas a phone shows it (1080×1920). - 7
Put it on the site
Use
out/index.htmlas the page, or pasteout/embed.htmlinto an existing page and copyout/assets/next to it (or change theassets/paths).
- 1
You get
- out/preview.mp4
- out/poster.png
- out/preview-tall.mp4
- out/poster-tall.png
- out/index.html
- out/embed.html


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_PATHif they don't). - ffmpeg for the loop check and the video (
brew install ffmpeg,winget install ffmpeg,apt install ffmpeg; or setFFMPEG_PATH). - Internet access when the page is opened, for the Google Fonts. Without them system fonts stand in.

If something goes wrong
The page shows a still picture instead of the film
Reduced motion is on in the system settings (that is on purpose), or the browser blocked autoplay in power-saving mode. The still is the film's first frame, so the hero still looks finished.
A phone shows the wide film cropped badly
The page decides by shape, not width: anything taller than 4:5 gets the tall film. Check that
assets/film-tall.mp4was copied with the page.The build says a field is too long
Shorten the words. The headline lines are sized for the lengths in
template/fields.json.

Write a reviewFAQ
Why is there a panel instead of text on the film?
The glasshouse is pale and detailed, so words straight on it would be hard to read. The frosted panel keeps the film visible through it and the type dark and sharp.
What are the three facts?
Short value and label pairs under the buttons, such as opening days or delivery. Use only real ones from the person, or plain descriptive values; leave the list empty to drop them.
Do the numbered links show on every screen?
On wide screens taller than 880 px. On shorter screens and phones they are dropped to keep room for the headline, and the phone keeps the wordmark and button in the bar.
Which agents is Fern Glasshouse Hero written for?
Any agent that reads SKILL.md folders, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.
Do I own what I make with it?
Yes. Everything your agent makes with this skill is yours, including for client and commercial work.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
Email support@lookbk.dev within 7 days of buying and we’ll fix it or refund you.
