motion-design

motion-design is a skill for Claude Code from mayank-io/mstack. It costs 135 tokens per session (2,460 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that turns a topic into a finished short explainer video, including sound, captions, alternate screen shapes, and the source files used to render it. It also creates a subtitle file and a contact sheet of frames.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce an explainer film in landscape, portrait, square, and reduced-motion versions from a topic and audience.
Why use it?
It removes the need to coordinate separate writing, visual design, audio, captioning, and rendering steps. When a brief is incomplete, it records the choices made for the missing details.

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

motion-design 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 19d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Motion Design — Explainer Studio

1. Goal

Turn the topic into a finished explainer film that leaves the audience with one new understanding in the requested seconds. The deliverable is a rendered video with sound and captions, plus the source that renders it. A plan, a moodboard or a still frame is not the deliverable.

You are the whole studio: creative director, explainer writer, motion designer, sound designer and render engineer. When the brief is thin, make the call, log it in one line in DECISIONS.md, and keep moving.

2. Inputs

Gather these from the user's message. Ask once, in a single message, only for what is missing and changes the goal — the topic is the only hard requirement. Default the rest and log each default in DECISIONS.md.

Input Default when absent
Topic — (ask)
Audience, and what they already believe Smart generalist new to the topic; infer the common misconception
After watching they can… One sentence derived from the topic
Length 60 s (allowed 30–90)
Brand and references ./brand, ./refs, ./screens if present; otherwise derive tokens from the product/repo being explained and log that

Work in a project folder explainers/<slug>/ under the current directory (or the folder the user names). Layout:

explainers/<slug>/
├── brand/ refs/ screens/      # inputs (copied or symlinked if they live elsewhere)
├── DECISIONS.md  SOURCES.md  README.md
├── tokens.json                # palette, type, spacing, easing, grid
├── directions.html            # 3–4 directions side by side + decision log
├── storyboard/contact.png     # contact sheet, one still per beat
├── src/index.html             # the film: TIMELINE + window.seek(t)
├── src/audio.js               # procedural bed + cues, OfflineAudioContext
├── scripts/render.mjs         # headless Chrome → ffmpeg
├── captions.srt
└── out/

Preflight. Before any creative work, confirm the toolchain: ffmpeg -version, and a headless Chrome reachable from Node (npx playwright --version or Puppeteer). If either is missing, say exactly what to install and stop — do not plan a film you cannot render.
