Rearrange the same six atoms from two hydrogen molecules and oxygen into two water-shaped groups. Explicit graph stages retain every atom ID while authored coordinates and bond orders change. The balanced example starts with two H–H pairs and one O=O pair, removes the bonds for an identity view, then forms four O–H bonds. Stage interpolation is a graphic explanation, not a proposed reaction pathway or kinetic simulation. Optional new sound can be quoted through PopNow; the procedural artwork renders locally.

What you get

  1. A local 20-second H.264 MP4 export and native wide/portrait projects.

  2. Editable scene source, JSON controls and mechanism tests.

  3. A decoded poster, eight-frame contact sheet, portable HTML playback project and render receipt.

Good for

  • Make a bond-rearrangement explanation with visible atom accounting
  • The default 2H2 + O2 to 2H2O example uses the same four hydrogen and two oxygen identities from start to finish

Not for

  • No reaction prediction, kinetics, activation energy or validation of actual intermediate species.
  • Valence limits are simple upper bounds for four display elements; verify any custom chemistry separately.

How it works

Includes a local renderer

  1. Set the inputs

    Use the balanced six-atom example, or prepare a verified atom list and five or six stage graphs with coordinates for both native aspects.

  2. Build the composition

    Validate the project, then render its native wide or portrait composition locally.

  3. Review and finish

    Watch the full MP4 and contact sheet. Add owned or approved audio only if wanted.

How the workflow runs

How Atom Bond Choreography works

Explicit graph stages retain every atom ID while authored coordinates and bond orders change. The balanced example starts with two H–H pairs and one O=O pair, removes the bonds for an identity view, then forms four O–H bonds. Stage interpolation is a graphic explanation, not a proposed reaction pathway or kinetic simulation.

What's inside the skill

What you can change

  • Edit persistent atom IDs and five or six timed graph stages.
  • Set explicit single, double or triple bond orders and native coordinates.
  • atomScale and layoutScale change sphere size and spatial spread.

What to review before delivery

  • Tests track every atom ID and the H4/O2 element count throughout the default timeline, and verify the initial and final bond structures.
  • Each authored stage rejects missing IDs, duplicate edges and bond-order sums above the supported simple valence limits.

Why use this skill

Start with this package

Identity, staged topology, native coordinates and bond drawing are prepared together. The same atoms visibly change partners, so the example explains a balanced rearrangement instead of merely rotating a finished molecule.

What PopNow adds

Use PopNow for the missing Music & voice in this workflow. Keep adequate material you already own, then bring new assets back into the editing and assembly steps described here.

Compare the options

A prompt, your own skill, or this workflow?

Start with a prompt

Your agent can create from a plain request. The brief, visual rules, asset choices, output format and review process still need to be established for that project.

Write your own skill

You choose and maintain the reusable instructions, defaults, file structure and checks. This is useful when your process needs different rules or integrations.

A workflow created for PopNow

This workflow was built for PopNow. Its source files, included dependencies and applicable notices are part of the package; the scope described below belongs to this edition.

What will this cost?

The supplied geometry renders locally. New music, ambience or narration is optional and quoted through PopNow; adequate owned audio can be mixed afterward. Computer and Agent costs depend on your setup.

Generation is optional when you have suitable input material. Free skill. New media is quoted before it runs.

The skill package

Free to install under your account's download allowance. The package license covers your own and client work; redistribution is excluded.

Existing assets and local work

Reusing suitable assets, editing files and running local assembly do not call a PopNow generation model. Your computer and any required runtime still do the work.

New AI images, clips or sound

Quoted for the actual model, inputs, count, duration and resolution. Extra alternatives, revisions or optional enhancement passes can add generation requests.

Your agent and hosting

Any subscription, hosted computer, deployment or other provider fee belongs to that service. Installing this skill does not include those services.

Check the cost of your version first

Your assistant can inspect the available models and quote the exact request first. You choose which optional passes to include and approve spending before generation.

Ask your assistant

  • Use the PopNow skill "Atom Bond Choreography" for my project. List the inputs you can reuse, quote only the missing media, show the quoted total and flag any unpriced steps. Separate optional enhancements, and wait for my approval before starting anything paid.

How PopNow billing works

Connections using a PopNow API key, including API-key MCP connections, spend from the separate API balance in USD. A ChatGPT or Claude connection authorized through OAuth spends website credits. These balances are separate; the quote shown by your connection is the approval basis.

Download allowances and current account conditions apply. A free package does not mean unlimited free generation.

How to use it

You say

  • Use the PopNow skill "Atom Bond Choreography" (atom-bond-choreography) for this: Make the included 20-second scene, then show a version with one structural control changed. Keep the model limits clear and quote any optional new sound first.

Then try

  • Supply 3–12 unique atom IDs with H, O, C or N display elements.

  • Follow H1 through the whole film and confirm that it stays identifiable while its bond changes.

What to have ready

  • Use the balanced six-atom example, or prepare a verified atom list and five or six stage graphs with coordinates for both native aspects.
  • Node 22.12+, Chrome or Chromium, FFmpeg and ffprobe.
  • The new film examples use ASCII text. Accents and other scripts need a suitable font plus input and layout adjustments.

Questions

Is the water equation balanced?

The supplied example retains four hydrogen and two oxygen atoms: two H2 molecules and one O2 molecule become two H2O-shaped groups. Tests check those IDs, counts and endpoint bonds.

Can I edit the graph at each stage?

Yes. Each stage has a time, label, bond list with bond orders, and separate wide/portrait coordinate maps. Every stage must contain exactly the same atom IDs.

Are the isolated atoms actual reaction intermediates?

No. That stage is a visual accounting device. The film does not predict a reaction pathway, kinetics, activation energy or the existence of those intermediates.

What is already packaged in Atom Bond Choreography?

The scene geometry, timing and mechanism validator. The editable wide example and its actual controls. Changed-input, invariant and portable-rebuild checks. Control ranges, artistic decisions and model boundaries.

Which parts of Atom Bond Choreography can add a charge?

The supplied geometry renders locally. New music, ambience or narration is optional and quoted through PopNow; adequate owned audio can be mixed afterward. Computer and Agent costs depend on your setup. Connections using a PopNow API key, including API-key MCP connections, spend from the separate API balance in USD. A ChatGPT or Claude connection authorized through OAuth spends website credits. These balances are separate; the quote shown by your connection is the approval basis.

How does Atom Bond Choreography differ from writing a prompt or my own skill?

Identity, staged topology, native coordinates and bond drawing are prepared together. The same atoms visibly change partners, so the example explains a balanced rearrangement instead of merely rotating a finished molecule.
