music-video-reimagined
by am-will1 month agoReimagine an existing music video as an original, hand-painted Claude/Clawd cartoon that plays the whole song, built on John Heibel's Claude Animation Base (p5.js + p5.brush, rendered in headless Chrome, encoded with ffmpeg). Covers the full pipeline end to end - downloading and studying the reference video, measuring the song's exact beat grid and sections, inventing a Claude-flavoured concept, storyboarding, building an on-model cast (the artists reimagined as Clawd characters) and sets, splitting the song into chapters built in parallel by subagents, reviewing seams, rendering, adding foley, encoding and delivering. Use this skill whenever someone wants to remake, reimagine, parody, cover or "Clawd-ify" a music video, make an animated music video for a real song with Claude characters, says "do what you did for Papercut, but with another song", or shares a YouTube music-video link together with the ClaudeAnimationBase repo - even if they don't name every step or say "skill".

hyperframes
Mandatory entry point: read this first for any request to make, create, edit, animate, or render a video, animation, or motion graphic, including a promo, explainer, captioned clip, title card, overlay, slideshow or interactive deck, Remotion port, or any HyperFrames HTML composition. Also use it to inspect, diagnose, validate, preview, publish, or batch-render an existing HyperFrames project. Inputs may be a website URL, GitHub PR, Figma design or URL, text or brief, existing footage, or music. It resumes project state, captures intent when applicable, selects and installs the owning workflow, and routes domain capabilities. HyperFrames is the default output framework unless the user explicitly chooses another framework for the deliverable or asks only to record a browser session.
ultraresearch
Maximum-saturation research orchestration: parallel explore+librarian swarms across codebase, web, official docs, and OSS repos; a recursive EXPAND loop driven by leads workers return in message text; empirical verification by running code; cited synthesis and optional MD/HTML/PDF/PPTX reports. ACTIVATES ONLY on an explicit user demand for research — the word 'ultraresearch' ('/ultraresearch', '$ultraresearch') or an explicit request for research / deep research / an ultra-precise investigation, in any language. Never self-activates for ordinary questions, debugging, or implementation context-gathering. While active it overrides exploration-bounding defaults: exhaustive coverage is the goal.
youtube-notetaker
Turn any YouTube talk into a studyable, interactive deep-dive stored as plain markdown: extract slide images at their timestamps, build a clean [HH:MM:SS] transcript, write editable notes, and save everything as one markdown file per video in a local library folder. A bundled zero-dependency server (serve.py) renders the whole library as a single-page artifact (front-page index + per-video split pane: slide deck + embedded player + searchable transcript) with notes that save back to the markdown files. Fully self-contained: no external services, configurable library path. Use when the user gives a YouTube URL and wants to study a talk, capture slides, take timestamped notes, or build a talk library. Triggers on: "deep-dive this talk", "extract slides from this video", "add this YouTube video to my study library", "take notes on this talk", followed by a YouTube URL.
music-video
Make a complete music video for a song, from brief to final render in 16:9, vertical 9:16 or square. Covers beat-grid song analysis (including tempo drift) and lyrics, AI-generated performer and lipsync clips through whatever video-generation MCP the user connects (Hedra, Runway, Luma, Kling or any other), archive.org and other free or user-supplied footage and photos, a credit budget, and a GPU shader compositor whose overlays and graphics are designed fresh for every video on top of the graded footage (person mattes, film grain, audio-reactive overlays, lyric timing), with a history of past videos so each one has its own identity. It also makes archive-only videos, visualizers, lyric videos and social cuts with no AI footage at all. Use this whenever the user wants a music video, visualizer, lyric video, Reels/TikTok/Shorts cut of a song, footage or photos cut to a track, a DJ/singer/dancer rendered for a song, or changes to an existing mv/ project (EDL, overlays, grades, re-renders), even if they never say "music video".
