What is it?

This skill pack lets Claude Code build motion graphics, launch films, animated charts and short social videos by writing the animation as code. Each frame is drawn in code, so no After Effects or AI video generator is involved. The skills cover a full workflow: setting up brand colours, type and motion rules in brand.md and MOTION.md, planning a brief, building the animation, and exporting to MP4 or vertical Reel formats.

The skills are grouped by stage, including launch videos, explainers, animated charts, milestone reveals, 3D title sequences, looping covers and reel export. Each skill includes trigger phrases and input requirements in its SKILL.md. Installation works through npx skills, a manual copy into ~/.claude/skills, Claude Desktop zip upload, or Codex's .agents/skills folder. MP4 export relies on HyperFrames or ffmpeg with Chrome.
