A Claude Code skill for making videos

What a Claude Code skill is

A skill is a folder of instructions and tools that teaches Claude Code how to do a specialised job. Easy Storyboard adds one: /storyboard, which turns content into a narrated, animated video, with Claude doing the writing and the animation.

The phases

1. Concept. Picks a narrative shape, explores three creative directions, and maps an emotional-energy arc across the beats.
2. Script. Narration timed to your target length, with pauses between beats and a machine-readable beats block.
3. Voice. A free neural voice with exact slide cues and per-word timestamps, or ElevenLabs.
4. Build. Claude choreographs storyboard.html on a motion engine with 110+ presets, springs, camera moves, 23 transitions, charts and rigged characters.
5. Audit. A built-in quality gate catches invisible elements, broken timing, frozen beats and unreadable text.
6. Render. Headless Chromium and ffmpeg produce the MP4.

Every phase writes a plain file, so you can stop, edit and pick up where you left off.

Commands

/storyboard https://your-page.com          # build from a URL
/storyboard ./report.pdf                   # from a PDF, .docx or .md
/storyboard adopt page.html                # narrate an existing HTML page
/storyboard concept <input>              # plan only
/storyboard --duration 60s --aspect 9:16   # length and vertical format

Requirements

Claude Code, Python 3.9 or newer, and a few free packages: Playwright with Chromium, imageio-ffmpeg and edge-tts for the free voice. The bundled doctor.py checks everything and prints the exact fix for anything missing. See the install guide.
