The skills
Claude Code skills are the working knowledge of the studio: the workflow, the rules and the checks, written down so any session can pick them up.
What a skill is
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md: a short description that tells Claude when to use it, the instructions themselves, and optional references/ and templates/ pages that are read only when the task needs them. Claude loads a skill when your request matches its description, so you can also just name it.
8 skills here (6 personal, 2 vendored), with 38 reference and template pages. Every one is rendered on this site.
Install them
From the repository root, copy every skill into ~/.claude/skills/:
node tools/install-skills.mjsPreview first with --dry-run, or install only some by name:
node tools/install-skills.mjs --dry-run
node tools/install-skills.mjs remotion-studio motion-reviewA changed installed skill is moved to a timestamped backup before it is replaced, and an identical one is left alone.
All skills
motion-director
Turns a vague idea into a brief, three directions and a timed storyboard, and reviews the plan.
motion-review
A strict, scored critique of a rendered video from stills and contact sheets, with a ready or another-round verdict.
motion-studio
Narrated product films where every cut, caption and camera move lands on a spoken word.
prompt-motion-search
Finds a Claude-made example on prompt-motion.com with its prompt and rewrites it into a brief.
remotion-studio
The default engine: kinetic type, titles, UI demos, charts, explainers and reels as React, frame by frame.
shot-library
Matches each storyboard scene to a curated motion shot and fills in its parameters.
brag
Turns a project into a short launch video with music, motion and share copy (full workflow).
brag-slim
The one-file variant of brag: no bundled assets, the model builds the whole video itself.
Which skill when
Start from what you want to do, not from the skill name.
| You want to | Use | Kind |
|---|---|---|
| Before building: brief, directions, storyboard, reference breakdown, plan review. | motion-director | Planning, no code |
| After a render: is it good, is it ready to ship, what are the five worst defects. | motion-review | Independent review |
| A voice-over-driven product film, reviewed live in an HTML player with the real mix. | motion-studio | HTML engine |
| You want to see what prompt made a video like yours. | prompt-motion-search | Inspiration |
| Any motion-graphics video made in code. Start here unless the voice-over sets every cut. | remotion-studio | Remotion engine |
| While storyboarding: which transition, title reveal or chart move fits this scene. | shot-library | Shot picking |
| A fast launch video of a project you just built. | brag | Launch video (third-party) |
| A fast launch video from a project folder or a URL, without the bundled assets. | brag-slim | Launch video (third-party) |
Use remotion-studio by default. Switch to motion-studio only for a narrated product film where every cut lands on a spoken word. Plan with motion-director first, and finish with motion-review on the render.
