video_motion: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/faceless-explainer/SKILL.md

faceless-explainer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maiscafe/video_motion. It costs 224 tokens per session (4,772 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of faceless-explainer, MIT.

A workflow for turning written information into an explainer video in HyperFrames. The visuals are created for the topic rather than captured from a real website or product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan the story, choose a visual style, create scenes, and build a narrated or text-based explainer video from source material.
Why use it?
It provides a route for teaching a subject clearly when there is only text to work from and no existing footage or visual asset collection.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is maiscafe/video_motion's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on video_motion itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything video_motion configures →

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

faceless-explainer 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (scripts/assemble-index.mjs, scripts/audio.mjs, scripts/build-frame.mjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

media-use: Before sourcing audio/images, call /media-use to resolve BGM/SFX/images from the HeyGen catalog. Run --adopt first to register existing assets. See /media-use skill.

Faceless Explainer to HyperFrames

Use this skill to turn a body of text into an explainer video: pick a design system, plan a teaching story, and build it frame by frame in HyperFrames. Faceless means every visual is invented downstream — there is no capture step and no real asset inventory.

Confirm the route before Step 0. You are the orchestrator. Run each step, verify its gate, and only then continue. This skill is for explaining a topic from text, with no product and no website to capture. Route other intents elsewhere: a product launch/promo → /product-launch-video; a tour of a real site → /website-to-video; a GitHub PR → /pr-to-video; captions on existing footage → /embedded-captions; a short unnarrated motion graphic → /motion-graphics. If the user says only "make a video" or the route is uncertain, read /hyperframes first.

You are the orchestrator. Work in videos/<project>/. Run steps in order and pass each gate before continuing. User-gated steps are Step 0, Step 3, and Step 6. Do every step yourself except Step 5, where you dispatch one sub-agent per frame. Do not put design or motion rules here; those live in the frame-worker sub-agent, this skill's local ../hyperframes-animation/rules/ + ../hyperframes-animation/blueprints/, and hyperframes-creative.

Workflow: Step 0 setup → hyperframes.json; Step 1 brief → capture/extracted/; Step 2 design system → frame.md; Step 3 storyboard/script → STORYBOARD.md and SCRIPT.md; Step 3.1 audio → audio_meta.json; Step 4 visual design → enriched STORYBOARD.md; Step 5 frames → compositions/frames/NN-*.html and index.html; Step 6 final render → renders/video.mp4.


Step 0: Setup and Brief

Goal: Lock the core video brief and create the HyperFrames project if needed.

Initialize only if hyperframes.json is missing. Name <project> from the topic in kebab-case, such as compound-interest-explained; never use workspace name or timestamp.

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.
