Why it is worth attention

It provides a complete, agent-driven pipeline for creating high-quality promotional videos, including storyboarding, animation, and sound design, all accessible through natural language commands.

Who it is for

  • AI coding agent users (Claude Code/Codex)
  • Product marketers and growth teams
  • Video creators and motion designers
  • Developers building product demos

Use cases

  • Creating cinematic product promos with minimal effort
  • Producing marketing launch videos with built-in templates
  • Developing feature demos using reusable shot cards
  • Rapidly iterating on video concepts via agent instructions

Strengths

  • Large curated library of 106 shot cards with implementation notes and pitfalls
  • Validated production-ready template (Ink Press) with 36.2s, 10 shots, and full sound design
  • Seamless integration with AI agents via simple install commands or natural language
  • Comprehensive methodology covering capture, storyboarding, beat-sync, and QA

Considerations

  • Requires a Remotion license for commercial use by companies
  • Primarily targets web and desktop product promos, limiting applicability to other domains
  • Depends on the capabilities and output consistency of the underlying AI coding agent

English | 中文 | 日本語

video-shotcraft is an AI agent skill that turns Claude Code or Codex into a motion-design studio: point it at your product and it storyboards, animates, and sound-designs a cinematic promo, marketing, launch, or demo video with Remotion — real page captures, 2.5D camera moves, beat-synced cuts, and film-grade SFX included.

🎬 Showcase

The 38-second Gallery intro below was itself produced with this skill — storyboard, shot implementation, and sound design were all done by an agent following the toolkit's methodology:

🚀 Quick start

The most direct way: hand the repo link to your agent. In Claude Code / Codex or a similar agent, just say:

Install this skill for me: https://github.com/Vincentwei1021/video-shotcraft

The agent will clone the repo and link it into your skills directory. Or install with the skills CLI / manually:

npx skills add Vincentwei1021/video-shotcraft
git clone https://github.com/Vincentwei1021/video-shotcraft.git
cd video-shotcraft
ln -s "$(pwd)" ~/.claude/skills/video-shotcraft   # Claude Code
# or
ln -s "$(pwd)" ~/.codex/skills/video-shotcraft    # Codex

Then make requests like:

Use video-shotcraft to create a promo for my desktop product.
Use the deck-deal-flyin and row-embed shot cards to present this feature.
Design a product close-up inspired by spotlight-hero-card.

If no shot card is specified, the skill introduces the built-in video template first and
