version: "1.0.0" name: editorial-cutout-explainer description: Use for an approval-first knowledge explainer with generic editorial cutouts, framed information labels, torn-paper texture, shallow 2D parallax, and evidence-led beats. Unlike paper-collage-explainer-generator (relationship 0.76), choose this for information-design cutouts and shallow motion; choose paper-collage-explainer-generator for tactile halftone paper assembly. Do not use for named-publisher imitation, external APIs, automatic voice/music/subtitles, or long fiction.
