## What it does

This skill takes over the whole video pipeline. You describe the clip you want in a sentence, and the agent builds a plan, renders the frames and reviews the output before handing it back. It handles motion graphics work: logo intros, product explainers, launch clips, kinetic type, vertical reels and animated charts.

The part that matters over time is the brand layer. You give it your colors, fonts, logo files and pacing rules once. Every video after that follows them, so a clip made in March looks like a clip made in September.

Use it when you need a short video and do not want to open a timeline editor. It fits recurring formats best: a weekly data story, a set of quote posts, a standard intro for a podcast. It is less suited to footage-heavy edits or anything needing frame-by-frame craft.

## How to run it

1. Install the skill in your Claude Code workspace. Place it in your skills folder and confirm the agent lists it when you ask what tools it has.
2. Build the brand kit first. Create one folder with your color values, typeface files, logo assets and a short note on tone. Point the agent at it. Do this once and it applies to every later job.
3. Write a brief that names the format, the length and the message. For example: a 15 second vertical clip announcing a pricing change, ending on the logo. Vague briefs produce vague plans.
4. Ask for the plan before the render. Review the beat sheet: scene order, on-screen text, timing, transitions. Fix it here, since changes are cheap at this stage.
5. Approve the render. The agent produces the video files and gives you the working assets alongside them.
6. Read the check report. The skill reviews its own output for timing slips, clipped text, contrast problems and brand drift, then lists what it found so you can request a fix.

## What a good result looks like

Text lands on the beat. Nothing sits on screen too briefly to read. Type stays legible against every background it crosses. Colors and fonts match the kit without you checking. The file arrives in the right aspect ratio for its platform, with a clean first and last frame.

A strong outcome also means the next request is shorter than the first, because the agent already knows your formats. If you find yourself re-explaining the same style choices, the brand kit is thin. Add the missing rules and the briefs get shorter again.
