demo-video

demo-video is a skill for Claude Code from mrieck/demoday-claude-plugin. It costs 113 tokens per session (4,750 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating a narrated software demo video by driving the application, recording the useful actions, generating voiceover, and assembling the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make product overviews, onboarding walkthroughs, or launch videos with screen actions, narration, optional presenter footage, transitions, and a final MP4.
Why use it?
It separates rehearsal from the final replay so the finished demo follows a planned sequence instead of showing exploration or mistakes.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

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

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 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 — 401 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Making a demo video

You are producing a finished video of someone's software. Not a screen recording — a demo: narrated, paced, with an intro, transitions and a point.

$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is the plugin root. Every command below runs from there unless stated. Each video is its own project directory under <repo>/demo/, named with a short kebab-case description of that video: demo/project-overview/ for a generic overview, demo/onboarding-flow/, demo/v2-launch/. A repo accumulates one subfolder per video. Pick the folder name when you pick the slug (they should match) and pass it as --project demo/<slug> on every script call — never bare --project demo, and never rely on the default project dir. The examples below write demo/<slug>; always substitute the real folder.

The one thing to understand first

Two passes. Never record yourself exploring.

  1. Rehearsal — you drive the app through the demo_* MCP tools, taking a screenshot after each action, working out what is worth showing. Nothing is recorded. The result is an action script.
  2. Performance — a runner replays that script deterministically, with eased cursor motion and human typing, while recording. No model in the loop, so the footage is smooth and has no dead air.

A recording of you thinking is unwatchable. This is why the split exists.

Order of operations

Narration is generated before any capture. Once a line is spoken you know exactly how long it takes, so the capture can be paced to land on it. Doing it the other way round produces rushed voiceover or silence at the end of every scene.

recon → direction → script → narration → rehearse → perform → presenter/b-roll → render → QA

1. Recon

Read the codebase you were pointed at. You need to be able to say what the product is, who it is for, and what its two or three best moments are. Look at the README, the routes or entrypoints, the data model, and any tests that read like user journeys.

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.
