Stillwake v0.9.0

Bring the illustrations you already ship to life with restrained, QA-gated hover motion.

Stillwake turns your AI coding agent into a careful motion pipeline for the art you already have. It starts from the stills you actually ship, produces restrained motion that stays true to each illustration, holds every result to quantitative QA gates, and wires hover behavior that always falls back to the static image.

In validation: admission gate pending

Who it’s for

Who it’s for and what your agent needs

  • Creative developers who maintain their own illustration and icon sets
  • Design engineers adding motion to a shipped interface
  • Teams with an established illustration system
  • Builders who use AI coding agents to ship and refine their sites

Minimum (stills-only)

  • An AI coding agent with file and shell access
  • An image-to-video tool with start-image conditioning
  • ffmpeg and ffprobe
  • Python 3.10+ for background removal
  • A media backend route per the bundled routing guide (reference: Codex CLI stills, Grok CLI image-to-video; backups: Higgsfield MCP, Gemini or Antigravity hosts)

Full motion

  • A background-removal model runtime such as rembg with BiRefNet
  • img2webp or an equivalent animated-WebP encoder

What’s inside

What’s inside the bundle

  • Stillwake Agent Skill
  • Backend routing guide with a named reference route and fallbacks
  • Live-asset inventory and deduplication method
  • Machine-readable manifest contract
  • A strict prompt contract that keeps motion restrained and true to the source art
  • Scene-specific restrained motion vocabulary
  • Smoke-first calibration procedure
  • Safe, resumable batch generation that survives interruptions and quota stops
  • Complete processing recipes from raw clip to web-ready animated asset
  • Automated QA gate thresholds tuned on real production assets
  • Light and dark contact-sheet review boards
  • Fine-pointer hover integration and reduced-motion behavior
  • Resumability model, failure playbook, and completion checklist
  • Buyer installation and troubleshooting guides

Proof

What the evidence shows

This workflow was extracted from real product work and has not yet completed Aaria's ten-point admission gate. It is listed as in validation.

  • A documented pipeline with automated QA gates and thresholds tuned on production assets
  • A smoke-first calibration procedure that proves one asset end to end before any paid batch
  • A failure playbook mapping common motion, alpha, loop, and encoding defects to specific actions
  • A resumability model so long generation batches can pause and resume safely

Not included

What it doesn’t include

  • Provider subscriptions
  • API credit
  • Generated media
  • Background-removal model weights and their licensing

The bundle contains standard Markdown and provider-neutral instructions. It avoids harness-specific tool names and proprietary paths. Any capable AI coding agent can follow the workflow; exact skill installation steps vary by client.

Install, updates, support

Install, updates, and support

  1. Download the zip and extract it into a directory named stillwake, with SKILL.md at the directory root.
  2. Copy the complete stillwake directory into the skills directory your AI agent harness recognizes, at the user level or the project level.
  3. Restart or refresh the agent session, confirm stillwake appears in the available skills, then ask the agent to use it to bring your existing illustrations to life.

Updates. Shipped version: 0.9.0.

Support covers

Installation of the skill bundle, workflow interpretation, and reproducible defects in the bundled documentation and defaults.

Outside the boundary

Provider outages, provider or model billing, custom animation or creative production services, background-removal model licensing, hosting, legal clearance, and guarantees that a third-party model will accept a prompt.
