> **Superseded:** the video kit now does this with the phone-chat part, version 1.2.0, in the parts folder of this repository. Every phone-chat style is a style file that draws the same screen frame by frame from the plan's scenes, with the original sounds, in the kit's browser. This atom stays, unchanged in behaviour, for skills outside the kit until they move; its scripts still run.

# create-imessage-mockup

Generate iMessage screenshots that look like real iOS captures — correct bubbles with tails, typing indicators, timestamps, "Delivered" captions, group avatars + sender names, keyboard chrome, and an optional iPhone 15 Pro bezel with Dynamic Island and status bar.

## Purpose

Turn a structured thread JSON into a believable iMessage screenshot — first as standalone HTML (`generate.js` + `templates/chat.css`), then rasterized to PNG with headless Chromium (`screenshot.js`/`render.js` via Playwright). It is the atom you reach for when an ad, social post, or video scene needs a fake-but-convincing iOS message capture.

What it gets right, grounded in the renderer:

- **Bubble runs and tails** — blue `sent` bubbles (right) and gray `received` bubbles (left), with a curved tear-drop tail drawn only on the *last* bubble of each consecutive sender run (`isLastOfRun` in `generate.js`).
- **Dark-themed iOS chrome** — `theme: "dark"` flips the page to the iOS dark conversation look; the status bar, Dynamic Island, and keyboard match iPhone 15 Pro.
