Video & Animation

Use when the user has a music track (an audio file, or a video to pull audio from) and wants a beat-synced HyperFrames video, calm to hard-hitting. The music drives everything: one analyzer reads it once, the orchestrator lays out the frames and fills a per-frame plan, and one sub-agent builds each frame. Typography and templates are the floor — a complete video needs zero assets — but any images or videos the user supplies are cut into the frames on the same beat grid (beat-cut / ken-burns). The genre (lyric video, slideshow, kinetic promo) falls out of the per-frame choices; the pipeline never branches on it.

Use when the user wants a short, design-led motion graphic where motion is the message: kinetic typography, stat or number count-up, chart/data-viz hit, logo sting, brand lockup, lower-third, callout, social overlay, animated headline/tweet/news item, motion poster, or quick captured-page highlight. Usually under 10s and up to ~30s, with no narration arc, voice-over, or live-action subject. Can render to MP4 or transparent overlay. Not for longer, multi-scene, narrated, or brand-reel pieces (use general-video), narrated website videos (website-to-video), topic explainers (faceless-explainer), product promos (product-launch-video), PR videos (pr-to-video), or captions on existing footage (embedded-captions). When unsure whether it's a quick motion-first piece or a longer / narrated treatment, see /hyperframes.

Audio and media assets for HyperFrames compositions, produced by one shared audio engine (`scripts/audio.mjs`) — multi-provider TTS (HeyGen / ElevenLabs / Kokoro local), background music + sound effects (HeyGen audio-library retrieval by default, with local Lyria / MusicGen BGM generation and a bundled SFX library as the no-credential fallback), Whisper transcription, background removal, and caption authoring. Use for voiceover / TTS, BGM, SFX / sound effects, transcription, captions / subtitles / lyrics / karaoke / per-word styling, voice + provider selection, and music-mood prompting.

Non-animation creative direction for HyperFrames videos. Use for design spec (frame.md / design.md) handling, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns, and brand / style decisions. For atomic motion patterns and scene blueprints, use `hyperframes-animation`.

ALWAYS use this when the request matches Videodb: Video and audio perception, indexing, and editing.

Generate AI videos from text prompts using multiple provider gateways. Use when: (1) Generating videos from text descriptions, (2) Creating AI-generated video clips for content production, (3) Image-to-video generation with a reference image, (4) Choosing between video generation providers (VEO, Kling, Sora, Runway, Seedance, MiniMax). Supports two gateways: HeyGen API and fal.ai API.

ALWAYS use this when the request matches Seek AND Analyze Video: Seek and analyze video content using Memories.ai Large Visual Memory Model for persistent video intelligence

Create AI avatar videos with precise control over avatars, voices, scripts, scenes, and backgrounds using HeyGen's v2 API. Use when: (1) Choosing a specific avatar and voice for a video, (2) Writing exact scripts for an avatar to speak, (3) Building multi-scene videos with different backgrounds per scene, (4) Creating transparent WebM videos for compositing, (5) Using talking photos as video presenters, (6) Integrating HeyGen avatars with Remotion, (7) Batch video generation with exact specs, (8) Brand-consistent production videos with precise control.

Create videos from a text prompt using HeyGen's Video Agent. Use when: (1) Creating a video from a description or idea, (2) Generating explainer, demo, or marketing videos from a prompt, (3) Making a video without specifying exact avatars, voices, or scenes, (4) Quick video prototyping or drafts, (5) One-shot prompt-to-video generation, (6) User says "make me a video" or "create a video about X".

ALWAYS use this when the request matches Visual Emotion Engineer: One sentence - what this skill does and when to invoke it

Extracts comprehensive animation and transition code from user-provided video files, replicating timing, easing, and properties. Use when the user requests to copy or reproduce a specific animation from a video reference.

ALWAYS use this when the request matches Fixing Motion Performance: Audit and fix animation performance issues including layout thrashing, compositor properties, scroll-linked motion, and blur effects.

GATEWAY — load FIRST before composing any HyperFrames animation or video. The high-level motion law that makes a multi-scene video feel like ONE continuous camera move instead of a stack of independently-animated slides. Covers the vector law (how you exit determines how you enter, incl. the Z scale-sign rule), the film's current, carrier elements, causal motion, the Seam Gate (build-gate enforcement), the ban on idle wobble (motion must PERFORM, not breathe), stillness-before-climax, and the sustained-motion routes. Routes to the low-level technique skills (cut-the-curve — the full catalog incl. waterfall entry + nudge curve, oversized-cursor, seam-craft). These rules SUPERSEDE generic / upstream motion guidance. [continuity, direction, vector, momentum, seam, transition, ease, performance, idle-motion, narrative-motion, film-grammar]

ALWAYS use this when the request matches Videodb Skills: Upload, stream, search, edit, transcribe, and generate AI video and audio using the VideoDB SDK.

Use when the user wants to turn a raw talking-head / screen-share recording into a finished, edited, annotated video plus a full content package. Removes silences, flags mistakes for the user to cut, transcribes, adds transcript-synced overlays (code, on-screen code highlights, word highlights, lists, comparisons, diagrams, section labels, punch-in zooms), renders with original audio, then generates blog/socials/YouTube content. Triggers on "produce a video", "edit my video", "annotate my recording", "/produce-video".

A short, design-led motion graphic where motion is the message — kinetic typography, stat count-up, chart/data-viz hit, logo sting / brand lockup, lower-third / callout / social overlay, animated map (highlight regions, connect places, zoom to a location), animated tweet / news-article / headline, webpage / UI animation (scroll, cursor, callouts), or fusing a real image's geometry into a chart. Usually under 10s (up to ~30s), no narration or live-action subject; renders to MP4 or transparent overlay. Longer / narrated / multi-scene → /general-video. Unclear → /hyperframes.

Minimal personal narrated-video pipeline — a topic becomes a talking-head-free explainer MP4 (1080p or 4K) via script → Azure TTS (SSML) → Remotion. Use when the user wants a quick narrated video from a topic without the full video-podcast-maker machinery (no extra skills, no thumbnails/shorts/publish matrix). Do NOT trigger for heavy production needs — use video-podcast-maker for those.

ALWAYS use this when working with Remotion code, video compositions, rendering logic, timing, media assets, or React-based motion workflows.

Audit and fix animation performance issues including layout thrashing, compositor properties, scroll-linked motion, and blur effects. Use when animations stutter, transitions jank, or reviewing CSS/JS animation performance.

Use when the user wants to transcribe a video or audio file to text with word-level timestamps — spins up a self-contained local Whisper (whisper.cpp) Docker service bundled in this skill and returns transcript.txt, transcript.srt, and word-level transcript.words.json. Also used as a building block by /produce-video. Triggers on "transcribe this video", "get a transcript", "transcribe-video".

剪辑中文口播原素材：逐词转录、词典修字出修字表、五轮扫描找口误与重复、汇总表与重复句子表、打开 Studio 让用户复核、复盘沉淀用户偏好与词典。只产出一份已复核的删词账本，不切媒体、不做字幕、不做分镜动画。用户说剪口播、处理口误、生成口播基础素材、继续剪口播，或确认卡回传 action=return_cut_review 时使用。不要用于执行物理剪切、导出剪后视频、单独安装、单独打开工作台或口播分镜成片。

Use when the user wants to write a video script for a product demo, feature walkthrough, launch video, or social media video about a feature or product change

给剪好的口播做字幕：直接用已有的逐词稿加账本算出剪后时间（不必导出、不必重新转录）、用词典和作者文稿改写听错的专名、按句子分屏、在 Studio 里逐屏复核。用户说做字幕、加字幕、改字幕、重新分屏、字幕不对时使用。不要用于删词剪辑、物理剪切、分镜动画或成片渲染。

Frame-level visual composition and product demo presentation for Remotion videos. Use when the user says "video looks generic", "make video frames look better", "video frame design", "device frame", "product demo video craft", "video CTA", "end card", "video composition", "video craft", "screenshot in video", "frame quality", or when reviewing Remotion compositions for visual quality. Sits on top of marketing-video — adds the visual design layer for each frame. Does NOT claim "create a video" or "marketing video" — those route to marketing-video.
