Distribution: https://github.com/OpenRootdev/paper-unfold-mesh/releases/download/v1.0.1/paper-unfold-mesh.zip
Scope: One skill: SKILL.md, the full source of a 9-scene demo composition and the licence. No media, textures or fonts.


## Installation


### 1. Download the focused package

Download the ZIP from the release and extract it. It holds only the skill folder; preview media and translations stay on separate branches of the repository.

Release v1.0.1: https://github.com/OpenRootdev/paper-unfold-mesh/releases/tag/v1.0.1


### 2. Add it to your agent

Copy the extracted folder into your agent's skills directory (Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/), or install it straight from main with git.

```

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/OpenRootdev/paper-unfold-mesh ~/.claude/skills/paper-unfold-mesh

```


### 3. Ask for a variation

Describe the shot in plain words, for example: "Show our three steps on an accordion strip of paper that unfolds one fold at a time." Balls, squashed wads, accordions, folded notes and scrolls are covered.


## Manual setup

- No image model or API key is needed. It runs in plain canvas 2D with GSAP as the clock.

- Supply your own paper texture, desk background and handwriting font for the demo composition.


## Additional notes

- Work in progress: the skill records what went wrong and ideas not yet tried, and is updated when projects get better results.

- Sister skill: Paper Unfold Frames gives a more photo-real single reveal from generated images.
