Dastaan for agents

Short videos for founders, made by an agent from the founder's own words: a dastaan CLI and MCP server, five task skills and the dastaan-director agent, packaged as a Claude Code plugin and a Codex plugin.

Local mode renders on your machine with the same engine the Dastaan app uses. There is no account and no cost, and nothing is uploaded. Hosted mode (a Dastaan account, a link that opens a video in the app, your library) comes in phase 2.

What is in it

The tool contract

  • The model writes; Dastaan does the rest. The connected model writes a script: words, and what each scene is for. Dastaan lays it out, solves readable colours from one brand colour, times it, and renders every size (9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 16:9) in English and Arabic.

  • Only the founder's facts. Every word, number and name on screen is held to the brief, the numbers the founder gave, and their CSV. Anything else is refused by scene and field.

  • Refusals carry the repair. Each one is {ok: false, code, ..., repair}, and names what to change.

  • A session folder (DASTAAN_SESSION, default ~/Dastaan) holds each video's video.json, pictures, frame sheets and MP4s. The CLI and the MCP server share it.

  • Gates. These are the app's gates: the format, the composition of every frame, contrast and length. A look's slots fit or are refused by name.

Requirements

Node 20+, ffmpeg and rsvg-convert (librsvg). dastaan doctor checks all three and the engine pin.

The engine

engine/ is the motion engine: the wasm core, the motion tools and director, and the scene-pack kit with its six looks. It is copied unchanged from one siliq-rotor commit and pinned by SHA-256 in engine/SOURCES.sha256. Refresh it with ./vendor.sh <siliq-rotor checkout>. Until the engine is published as a package, this pinned copy is the dependency. Licence: Apache-2.0.

Tests

npm test                      # unit, plugin and skill happy-path tests
node --test test/dastaan.test.mjs
node --test test/skills.test.mjs   # DA-104: each SKILL.md happy path to a frame sheet and an MP4

Install: see INSTALL.md. The plugin installs from git as plain files, with the server and engine bundled and no npm. npm pack is an optional extra channel.
