What is this?
Lazy Frames is an agentic video generation tool: you feed a skill URL to your AI coding agent, which captures source material, authors a spec, and renders it into a pixel-perfect, byte-stable MP4, with the core pipeline running fully locally and no cloud required.

Run `npx lazy doctor` first to verify your environment.

Run `npx lazy doctor` first to verify your environment.What do I need installed besides the npm package?Node.js 20 or newer, ffmpeg + ffprobe for encoding, Google Chrome for headless rendering, and Python 3 for the audio sidecar (music, TTS, SFX); narration uses macOS say or Windows SAPI, with an optional ElevenLabs API key for the plugin.

The rest of the marketplace entries are installable scaffolds whose manifests and permission locks function now, but their execution stays blocked until a reviewed adapter ships.
