create-demo-video

create-demo-video is a command for Claude Code from mrieck/demoday-claude-plugin. It costs 15 tokens per session (386 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for making a finished software demonstration video, including its script, narration, screen recording, presenter footage, editing, and quality checks. It first examines the software to decide what is worth showing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a launch video, tutorial, explainer, or other listed video format. It guides planning, rehearsal, recording, rendering, and final review, and can lead to a short vertical version for social platforms.
Why use it?
It turns a working application into a planned, audience-appropriate video instead of an unstructured screen recording. It also checks the recording environment and requires approval of the estimated generation cost.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-demo-video scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Use the demo-video skill to fulfil this request.

$ARGUMENTS

Run from the repository of the software being demoed, or point at one with a path.

Before anything else:

  1. Check the environment: node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/doctor.mjs". Fix any failing required check, or tell the user exactly what to install or grant.
  2. Read the codebase to work out what the software does and what is worth showing.
  3. Ask the user about goal, audience, length — and which named style from the catalog in the demo-video skill their video is most like (launch, anchor, tutorial, explainer for 16:9; listicle, cohost, flashcard, glide for 9:16 Shorts) — before writing the script. Those answers change the whole video.
  4. Show the cost estimate from scripts/plan.mjs and get an explicit yes before generating anything.

Then follow the skill: script → narration → rehearse → perform → presenter and b-roll → render → QA. While rehearsing, tell the user which parts of the application you are exercising and what you find.

When the demo is done, offer a vertical Short for YouTube Shorts / Reels / TikTok — a 15–45s cut from the same project (the demo-shorts skill). If the user asked for shorts or vertical video up front, use that skill directly; it still needs a landscape demo's captures to cut from, or its own capture pass. Every Short gets a cover hook card as frame 0 (its thumbnail) — preview it with render.mjs --cover-only and show the PNG before the full render.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
