Say the word, it runs.
The skill fires on natural requests like these. No commands to memorize.
What the skill does for you.
- 1
Pick the theme and format
The skill reads the brand and asks for the theme (white canvas with black figures, or black canvas with white figures) and the aspect ratio. The brand color becomes one of up to three accent colors, each with a single meaning.
- 2
Approve the director's proposal
Narration, then one row per 10-second clip: three timed beats, at least four visual devices, camera moves, sound effects, and the exact state each clip hands to the next. Nothing renders until you approve it.
- 3
Draw the opening frames
One flat line-art frame per clip, anchored on the first so line weight and proportions hold. Each frame is both the start of its clip and the landing point of the clip before it.
- 4
Animate clip to clip
Every clip is animated from its own frame and lands on the next one, so transitions happen in-camera. Prompts hold the flat look, forbid on-screen text, and keep clips free of voices.
- 5
Narrate, score, and compose
One narrator reads each clip's line on its visuals, music follows the emotional turn, overlays are added as crisp text, and an optional on-twos snap finishes the limited-animation feel.
Right model, right job.

The playbook.
Each skill ships with reference docs the agent loads on demand, so the craft is baked in.

What to watch for.
- The visual system is intentionally strict: a flat monochrome canvas, faceless line-art figures, and at most three accent colors.
- Generated frames and clips carry no words; any on-screen phrase is added as an overlay in the composition.
- End-frame landings are close but not frame-exact, so a seam can need a small trim in the editor.
- Narration is generated separately; video clips stay voice-free so the narrator never changes between clips.
Keep building.
