## What helios does, in the publisher's words

Agent skills for Helios, a browser-native video engine for programmatic animation and rendering.

Ask your agent for a video, MP4, GIF, animation, music video, short film, explainer, chart animation or social clip. The make-video skill has it write one HTML page that draws any frame from its time t, then render the page frame-exact to MP4 with Helios, check stills and contact sheets, and add a soundtrack.

Other Agent Plugins 1.0 clients install it from plugins/helios.
