Deep reference

The Guide teaches you how to use videoclaw, and Features explains every capability. This Reference section carries a deliberate subset of the repo's deep docs — the ones worth reading on their own, ported here so you rarely have to leave the site. Design specs, ADRs, live-acceptance audits and the one-shot prompt files stay in the repo.

Three reading levels

• Guide — plain-English, step by step. Start here.
• Features — one page per capability, idiot-proof and agent-usable.
• Reference (this section) — the full depth: architecture, contracts, operations, history.

Orientation

• Architecture — the layer map and canonical flow
• Production workflow — the operator-first workflow
• Shared filmmaking workflow — format-sensitive shot plans, reference changes, acting and version-bound film review
• Project layout — the on-disk shape of a project
• CLI reference — every command and flag
