Why this exists

If you've tried to make videos with Claude Code, you already know the pain:

• Manim is powerful but ships with 80+ pages of docs and a steep curve
• React Video needs Playwright + FFmpeg wrangling on every change
• Screencast-to-viral means memorizing ffmpeg's filter graph
• Paper-collage explainers require hand-tuned Canvas math
• Each one is a week of trial and error before your first render

Andy-Video-Skill puts 13 video workflows a single cp -r away. Every Skill here was stress-tested in a real production video release — none of them are toy demos.

6 categories · 13 Skills · 1 install

Featured: andy-screencast-to-viral — turn a 2-hour screencast into 100+ ready-to-publish short videos with auto-generated captions, hook frames, and platform-specific cuts.

V0.3 (Nov 2, 2026): 8 new verified upstream engine candidates — CosyVoice, Motion, Anime.js, Blender MCP, librosa, Lottie Web, postprocessing and Three.js. Now 30 registry sources, 13 existing local Skills. Multi-stage planning is supported; new external runtimes are not installed or render-verified.

New: evidence-first product launch videos (V0.4)

Make viewers understand the real product—not another rotating-phone template. The Video Director now includes a 15-second launch workflow with a complete real UI → actual click → verified result shot sequence, voice-timing checks, privacy/claim gates, and a persistent review handoff.

This is a preproduction planning + asset validation tool, not an unverified one-click video generator. You still need an installed BB-Video / Remotion renderer to produce a real MP4.

🚀 Quick Start (3 minutes)

Featured: andy-video-director — a unified Agent Skill router with executable preflight, reviewed/pinned upstream install and real engine handoff. It can stage BB-Video's full renderer and all 30 styles, MoneyPrinterTurbo and 12 official Remotion Agent Skills. The 30-item source registry is not 22 preinstalled engines or proof that every backend was rendered successfully.

python3 00-orchestration/andy-video-director/director.py plan --request "Make a launch video for my AI product"
# Optional explicit upstream install: ./scripts/install-all.sh --with-upstreams

# 1. Clone the catalog
git clone https://github.com/AIPMAndy/Andy-Video-SKill.git
cd Andy-Video-SKill

# 2. Install ALL skills into Claude Code
./scripts/install-all.sh

# 3. Restart Claude Code, then ask:
#    "Use andy-manim-video to explain attention mechanism."

Want just one Skill?

cp -r 01-programmatic-animation/andy-manim-video ~/.claude/skills/

That's it. Restart Claude Code and the Skill is live.

Killer Feature — real output, real production

One frame from andy-manim-video rendering "AI Redeem" — a real production we shipped:

Same Skill, social-platform cut:

Every Skill in this catalog has been used to ship at least one public video. None of them are toy demos.

Who this is for

• AI builders prototyping video features without rebuilding 12 workflows from scratch
• Content creators using Claude Code to script, render, and iterate in one loop
• Educators turning lectures into 3Blue1Brown-style explainers
• Marketers / growth teams chopping long demos into platform-native shorts
• Indie devs who want video in their product but don't want to learn Manim

Installation — pick your mode

A. Browse only (no install)

git clone https://github.com/AIPMAndy/Andy-Video-SKill.git
cd Andy-Video-SKill

Read any SKILL.md directly. No Claude Code required.

B. Single Skill

cp -r 01-programmatic-animation/andy-manim-video ~/.claude/skills/

Restart Claude Code to load it.

C. Bulk install (recommended)

./scripts/install-all.sh                                    # install all 13
./scripts/install-all.sh --exclude andy-liquid,react-video  # skip some

See INSTALLATION.md for full details and verification.

How a Skill works

Each Skill is a directory containing:

• SKILL.md — the workflow contract Claude Code reads
• Optional assets, helper scripts, references

Drop it into ~/.claude/skills/ and Claude Code picks it up on next launch. No runtime, no API key, no daemon.

Example — andy-p5js detail page:

Or the Manim Skill, which has been used to ship educational explainers:

Or andy-paper-collage-explainer for a distinctive hand-crafted style:

Architecture — what this catalog actually is

This is not an application. It is a content library — 13 local directories of Skill instructions that an AI agent reads. The unit of install is the Skill, not the app.

FAQ

Q: Do I need Claude Code?
A: No. You can read any SKILL.md directly. But Skills shine when loaded into an agent.

Q: Are these Skills free?
A: Yes — MIT License. Use commercially, fork, remix, ship.

Q: Can I install just one Skill?
A: Yes. Every Skill is standalone. Use the cp -r form in INSTALLATION.md.

Q: Why not just write my own Skill?
A: You can. But each Skill here is the output of one full production cycle. You're saving 6+ months of trial-and-error.

Q: What does "battle-tested" mean?
A: Each Skill has shipped at least one public video we can show. See killer-feature-manim*.png above for the Manim examples.

Q: Is there a web UI?
A: The static showcase lists all Skills. The Skills themselves run inside Claude Code — there is no separate app.
