demo-shorts

demo-shorts is a skill for Claude Code from mrieck/demoday-claude-plugin. It costs 106 tokens per session (5,087 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for cutting a 15–45 second vertical video from a demo project for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or TikTok. It offers listicle, cohost, flashcard, and glide formats with different combinations of screen recordings, captions, presenters, and text cards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and create a vertical cut from an existing demo project's clips, audio, screen recordings, and Remotion app.
Why use it?
It treats a Short as a purpose-built edit rather than simply resizing the original demo video.

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

demo-shorts 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 346 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cutting a vertical Short

A Short is not a re-render of the demo at a different size. It is its own 15–45 second video cut from the demo project's assets. Work inside the same project directory as the main demo: the Short lives in a sibling manifest (shorts.json) that shares the project's clips, audio, cache and Remotion app.

1. Pick a style first

Everything else follows from this. Show the user the four looks and ask which their video is most like:

style feels like mechanics
listicle "5 plugins that fix your CSS" — numbered rundown, a cut every ~1.5s beat engine: face/screen/split/insert windows, #N stamps, boxed captions
cohost screenshare with a person talking below the demo throughout split framing, steady scene-length pacing, karaoke captions
flashcard text asks, UI answers — big typographic cards alternating with full-bleed clips, no face beat engine: insert(title)/screen windows, boxed captions
glide one immersive screen recording, the camera gliding to each click pan framing, karaoke captions
node scripts/plan.mjs --project demo/<slug> --init \
  --manifest shorts.json --from demo.json --style listicle

--style sets the format (1080×1920), presenter mode, caption style and transition policy, and records style in the manifest. --from demo.json copies product, brand, voice and presenter identity. The timeline starts empty.

Prefix every scene id with s- — both manifests share clips/ and assets/, and generated artifacts are named after scene ids.

What is reused vs regenerated

Asset Verdict Why
Screen captures + event logs reused, free Reframed (pan/split/beats) inside the 9:16 frame
Voice (designed voiceId) reused, free Copied by --init --from
Narration lines kept verbatim reused, free Same text + voice = cache hit
New narration lines cents Normal TTS pricing
B-roll regenerated Stills generate at 9:16; i2v inherits the aspect
Presenter clips (full scenes, split bottoms, face beats) generated per scene Animated to that scene's narration; billed avatar-seconds, shown in the estimate
Cards / captions / bullets / title inserts free Rendered, not generated
Insert stills from a prompt ~$0.05 each Beats with an existing image are free
