Create immersive, interactive storytelling experiences using Anthropic's authentic design language: strict duotone palette, organic Bézier SVG paths, custom cursors, and chapter-based narratives.

Workflow

Use AskUserQuestion to gather preferences, then generate:

| 1 | Animation? | GSAP (rich) vs CSS-only (lightweight)

| 2 | Mood? | Warm vs Cool vs Creative

| 3 | Palette? | (show 3-4 based on mood)

| 4 | Topic? | Biblical/Tech/Business/Personal/Custom

| 5 | Chapters? | 3, 4, or 5

| 6 | Content per chapter | Title, description, keywords

Generate:

bash ~/.claude/skills/scroll-storyteller/scripts/generate.sh my-story <palette> [--gsap] [--chapters N]

Post-generation: Customize content, create SVGs (see references/structure-templates.md)

SVG Illustration Workflow

Each chapter needs a topic-relevant SVG that matches the narrative position:

| Hero | Set scene, show contrast | Wide (1000x1000), 2 silhouettes | David vs Goliath distant

| Chapter 1 | Introduce protagonist | Centered figure + context | Shepherd with sheep

| Chapter 2 | Show conflict/obstacle | Imposing, fills frame | Giant warrior

| Chapter 3 | Resolution/triumph | Dynamic, radiating | Victor + fallen + rays

| Chapter 4 | Deepening conflict (optional) | Crowded, escalating | Army masses, threats multiply

| Chapter 5 | Final climax (optional) | Action, decisive | Stone flying, impact moment

| Finale | Symbolic summary | Centered symbol | Crown + light

Light/Dark Pattern by Chapter Count:

3 chapters: Ch1=Light → Ch2=Dark → Ch3=Light
4 chapters: Ch1=Light → Ch2=Dark → Ch3=Light → Ch4=Dark
5 chapters: Ch1=Light → Ch2=Dark → Ch3=Light → Ch4=Dark → Ch5=Light

Process:

Load references/svg-illustration-guide.md for theme → element mapping
Identify chapter position (hero/ch1/ch2/ch3/ch4/ch5/finale)
Extract topic keywords from chapter content
Select SVG elements from element library:

Characters: figure-small, figure-large, figure-triumphant, figure-action

Nature: hills, sun, tree, path, clouds, lightning, wind
Objects: staff, crown, shield, weapon, stone, obstacle
Abstract: radiate, rings, trajectory, converge, impact
Compose using position template
Apply palette mood style (see references/design-harmony.md → Palette Mood → SVG Style)
Add animation classes: organic-path, fade-path, scale-path

SVG Checklist:

Uses only var(--deep) and var(--foam) colors All paths are organic Bézier curves (Q/C commands) No geometric primitives (circle, rect, ellipse) Opacity range matches palette mood Composition matches chapter position Symbolically represents chapter content

Animation Styles

| GSAP | GSAP 3.x + ScrollTrigger | ~45KB | Rich interactions, SVG draw, orbits, timelines

GSAP Features

SVG path draw animations (strokeDasharray)
Continuous orbit/rotation effects
Scroll-linked timeline control
Parallax with scrub
Staggered animations with precise timing

CSS-only Features

IntersectionObserver reveals
CSS transitions with delays
Transform-based animations
No external dependencies
Smaller bundle size

Duotone Palettes

Mood → Palette mapping:

Warm: 1 (Anthropic), 3 (Sepia), 6 (Ember)
Cool: 2 (Midnight), 7 (Steel), 8 (Ocean)
Creative: 4 (Forest), 5 (Dusk)

Design Modes

| Authentic (default) | Strict duotone, organic paths | Editorial, brand storytelling

| Expressive | Multi-color accents allowed | Product showcases, demos

Core Features

| Custom Cursor | Dual-layer cursor with smooth easing, mix-blend-mode

| Hero Section | GSAP: Flowing organic lines (1000x1000 background). CSS-only: Desk lamp with animated light cone reveal

| Spotlight Layer | Radial gradient follows cursor on dark sections

| Staggered Reveals | Title words animate in sequence on load

| Chapter Structure | Alternating light/dark sections with transitions

| Organic SVGs | Hand-drawn Bézier paths, fill-only (no strokes)

| Parallax | Subtle depth movement on scroll

Anthropic Design Language

Strict Duotone Palette

| Cream (light) | #FAF9F5 | --cream

| Charcoal (dark) | #141413 | --charcoal

Rule: No other colors. All illustrations use exactly these two.

Typography

| Display/Headings | Instrument Serif | Georgia, serif

| Body/UI | Inter | -apple-system, sans-serif

Characteristics:

Large, editorial headings (clamp 3rem - 7rem)
Light weight (300-400)
Negative letter-spacing on display (-0.02em)
Generous line-height (1.5-1.8)

SVG Design Rules

| Fills only | Never use strokes for main shapes

| Organic paths | Complex Bézier curves, hand-drawn feel

| viewBox | Always 1000x1000 or 500x500 (square)

| 2-4 paths | Keep compositions simple

| Layered | Light shapes behind, dark in front

Anti-patterns:

❌ <circle>, <rect>, <ellipse> (geometric)
❌ stroke="..." on main elements
❌ Multiple colors
✅ <path d="M... Q... C..."> with organic curves

Topic-Driven SVG Generation

The svg-generator.sh helper automatically selects appropriate SVG templates based on chapter content:

| identity, profile, self, unique | Fingerprint + Verification | Personal identity concepts

| network, connect, distributed, system | Central Hub + Network | System architecture concepts

| protect, secure, vault, lock | Protected Vault + Links | Security concepts

| growth, learn, knowledge, tree | Knowledge Tree | Learning/growth concepts

| enforce, filter, gate, barrier | Gateway Arches | Enforcement/validation

| trust, hand, collaboration | Hand Holding + Connection | Partnership concepts

| unify, finale, complete | Concentric Symbol | Conclusion/unity

Usage:

# Source the generator in your script
source scripts/svg-generator.sh

# Generate SVG for a chapter (position: hero/ch1/ch2/ch3/ch4/ch5/finale)
generate_svg_for_chapter \
  "ch1" \
  "Digital Identity" \
  "Your unique identity on the blockchain" \
  "var(--foam)" \
  "var(--deep)" \
  "fade-path"

Positions: hero | ch1 | ch2 | ch3 | ch4 | ch5 | finale

Animation Patterns

For detailed GSAP and CSS animation patterns, see references/animation-patterns.md

Animation Classes:

| organic-path | Base class for all SVG paths | Always applied

| fade-path | Fade in animation | Default for most paths

| scale-path | Scale up animation | Combined with fade-path

| draw-path | Stroke draw animation (GSAP only) | For line/path drawing effects

Narrative Structure

For narrative structure and HTML templates, see references/structure-templates.md
