Montara is a local-first video production CLI built around an editable JSON Timeline IR that people, Claude, Codex or a local Ollama model drive through the same skills folder. One command renders an MP4 and grades it for slideshow risk; further commands cut, compose layers, matte subjects, separate stems, make captioned reels and export to OTIO, EDL or FCPXML. Clone, then pnpm install and pip install the requirements; needs Node 18+, Python 3.10+ and FFmpeg.

About Frameworks & toolkits
Rendering frameworks and all-in-one kits: the layer that turns code an agent writes into frames, plus the skills that teach the agent how to drive it.
