What is it?

This repository is a Claude Code skill that directs the agent to act as a motion designer and creative coder. Given a short theme, optional images or a voice track, it plans a world, copy, design system and a beat-by-beat timeline, then builds the scenes in HTML, GSAP, SVG and Canvas.

The timing is locked to a 120 BPM, 60 FPS grid, where one beat equals 0.5 seconds or 30 frames. Background music is generated as WAV with Node.js built-ins only, driven by the same beat table as the visuals. Canvas and SVG layers use a pure render(t) function so they can be seeked deterministically.

The skill runs a verification loop of lint, check, snapshot review and render, then spot-checks the final MP4 with ffprobe and ffmpeg. It is a port of remotion-motion-reel built on Apache-2.0 HyperFrames and GSAP, so it avoids the Remotion commercial license.

Key features

  • 01Beat-locked timing on a 120 BPM / 60 FPS grid, with cuts written as beat numbers.
  • 02Generated soundtrack in WAV using only Node.js built-ins, synced to the same beat table.
  • 03Two-layer animation: a paused GSAP timeline plus a seekable render(t) function for Canvas and SVG.
  • 04Shape morphs between scenes instead of cross-fades.
  • 05Deterministic output with a seeded PRNG and no Date.now() or Math.random().
  • 06Lint, check, snapshot and ffmpeg verification before delivery.

Use cases

  • Creating a short showreel or motion teaser from a one-line concept.
  • Producing product launch videos in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 formats.
  • Making music-driven motion graphics where visuals follow a set BPM.
  • Generating commercial-friendly video content without paid motion library licenses.
