Download this repo (green Code button, then Download ZIP) and unzip it, or clone it:

git clone https://github.com/charlie947/motion-graphics-skills.git

Copy the 13 folders inside skills/ into ~/.claude/skills/ (every project) or your project's .claude/skills/ (one project). This loop keeps any skill folder you already have:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
for skill in motion-graphics-skills/skills/*; do
  [ -f "$skill/SKILL.md" ] || continue
  destination="$HOME/.claude/skills/$(basename "$skill")"
  if [ -e "$destination" ]; then
    printf 'Preserved existing skill: %s\n' "$destination"
  else
    cp -R "$skill" "$destination"
  fi
done

Zip one skill folder and upload it in Customise, then Skills. From motion-graphics-skills/skills:

zip -r brand-intake.skill brand-intake

Start with brand-intake, then add the skills you need.

From your project's root, after cloning this repo into it:

test -d motion-graphics-skills/skills || { printf 'Missing source skills folder\n'; exit 1; }
mkdir -p .agents/skills || exit 1
for skill in motion-graphics-skills/skills/*; do
  [ -f "$skill/SKILL.md" ] || continue
  name="$(basename "$skill")"
  destination=".agents/skills/$name"
  if [ -e "$destination" ] || [ -L "$destination" ]; then
    printf 'Preserved existing skill: %s\n' "$destination"
  else
    cp -R "$skill" "$destination" || exit 1
  fi
done

Open a fresh Codex task and check the skills load from .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.

Add HyperFrames once (free, open source): npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes.

One line gets you close. A proper brief gets you something people share. This is exactly what I typed (with vox-explainer installed):

Why do we dream? And then someone suddenly wakes up, zooms out of the eye, and goes into outer space. There are neural networks of interconnectivity to convey the brain.

It found a source for every fact before it drew anything, wrote the script, added a voice and rendered it. Then give it notes like you would a designer.

Only install what the job needs. Nothing here needs an API key.

1. Facts first. Every name, date and number on screen comes from a list you approve. Nothing invented.
2. Your brand, not the average. Colours and fonts come from brand-intake or from you. With nothing given, it asks.
3. Banned defaults: typewriter text, glow, bounce, gradients on text, purple-to-blue backgrounds.
4. Motion on twos for anything hand-made in feel (hold each pose for 2 frames at 24fps).
5. First 3 seconds carry the hook. If the first frame is empty, it's cut.
6. Check before export. One frame from the middle of every shot, checked for cut-off text, overlaps and wrong facts.
7. Real assets only. Logos and screenshots come from your files, never redrawn from memory.

A free skill (not mine) that turns Apple's design guidelines into rules Claude follows:

npx skills add emilkowalski/skills --skill apple-design

Then ask: "Use the apple-design skill to audit this animation. Give me a ranked list of everything that feels off, worst first." Paste the fixes back as notes.

If your video shows a product, don't let Claude draw the buttons and cards from scratch. It guesses the spacing and the UI looks fake. 21st.dev publishes real components with a prompt under each one. Paste this once, then paste any component prompt straight in:

Add this rule to CLAUDE.md: whenever I paste a component prompt or third-party component code, treat it as a structural donor only. Keep its engineering. Replace its demo copy with my real copy, and translate every colour, border, shadow, font and timing to MOTION.md.
