Concepts

Workshop is easiest to understand as video execution infrastructure: a readable source language, a deterministic compiler, a renderer, and agent/human workflows around them.

Start With The Architecture

• How Workshop Works - the product from first principles
• The RenderGraph - the compiled video execution plan
• Compiler Pipeline - source to RenderGraph in deterministic stages
• Sandwich Architecture - model creativity gated by compiler authority

Art Direction And Governance

• The Mood System - art direction as compiler-resolved design tokens
• ThemePacks - brand-as-code for governed output
• Brand Resolver - best-effort brand extraction from URLs

Rendering And Integration

• Native Renderer - deterministic motion-graphics rendering without browser capture
• MCP Server and SDK - Workshop as infrastructure for agents and embedded tools
