Refs is a library of 3000+ films that moved people, each measured cut by cut and written up as a 15-plate blueprint with a recipe prompt. Add it to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor with one command, and Claude plans your launch film from the real thing.

@nathanwindsor Thanks Nathan
Yes we will be adding ton more references here, will make it biggest curated library for any kind of video
Appreciate the support!!
Sick work! Congrats on the launch
@saxenasaheb Appreciate the support
Congrats on the launch!
the "average of every launch film it's seen" framing is a sharp way to put the actual problem, but I'd worry the fix just moves the averaging one layer up. if Claude is picking the closest-matching reference out of 3000 films for a given brief, isn't the output now the average of whichever handful of references got selected, rather than one coherent director's choice? curious how much the blueprint constrains the pick versus leaving Claude to blend two or three "close enough" references into something that's referential but not quite anything
@galdayan Fair point, but I’d frame it less as averaging and more as direction.
When you ask Claude to make something and don’t know which direction to take, that’s where Refs helps most: find a film that feels right and hand it to Claude as the direction.
And if you like a direction but the quality isn’t there yet, point Claude to a film that nails that same direction, and it takes inspiration from how that one was actually made.
@pratyushrungta that distinction makes sense for the "feels right" case, one reference as a north star. the "takes inspiration from how that one was actually made" part is where I'd want to know more though, does Claude see the actual edit and shot choices from that one film, or just a text description of them. those are very different amounts of signal to hand it
@galdayan sorry for the slow reply, and great question. it sees the real thing now: every film has a frame sheet, an actual frame from every shot plus the first 3 seconds, so Claude looks at the edit, not just reads about it.
the written breakdown sits on top with the timings and why each cut works and this week’s storyboard tool pulls those real stills into the board before anything gets built
