Could you build this?
Partial Creating a web playground with Three.js/glTF rendering is vibe-codeable, but designing a domain-specific language and an inverse kinematics / skeletal physics constraint solver from scratch is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a custom DSL parser (e.g. using Chevrotain or Tree-sitter), an IK and constraint solver engine (handling ground-locks, pins, grips, and limb reach), and a 3D animation runtime exporting to BVH/glTF via Three.js. The hard part is the skeletal math and biomechanical constraint satisfaction algorithms to make text descriptions translate into physically plausible, smooth motions. This requires expertise in computational kinematics and 3D character animation.
