What it does
Take One is a Claude Code skill for ad and launch videos. The `/take-one a 30 second launch video for <product>` request starts a chain of twelve roles: a strategist studies the brand from its site, a creative director finds the idea, a writer builds the story, then come voice, look selection, storyboard, frames drawn in code, music, sound, beat-based editing, a review and social posts. Before building, the skill shows the idea, a timed storyboard and the ways to produce it with prices: code only for free, code with images from a model or with moving shots. Paid services connect only after consent. The result is a 1080p 60 fps MP4 with sound on the Desktop, posts for X and LinkedIn and a reviewer score with open issues.
Who it is for. Founders and marketers who need a product video with their brand, voice and music without working with an editor.
Good fit when
- A 30-second app launch video is needed in a style taken from a live site.
- A reference video or image exists and the clip is built after it.
- The video shows the real product: you log in and the skill records the work in Chrome.
- After a finished take you leave notes in chat or on the review page and the next take applies them.
Not a fit when
- A long film or series is needed: the skill is strongest on product and brand videos.
- There is no Chrome, ffmpeg or Node 18: the build will not start without them.
- Live action of people is required: a film built on pictures without moving shots tops out at about 7 out of 10 by reviewer score.
Example request
/take-one a 30 second launch video for my app, site https://example.com, posted on LinkedIn. Work in stages and show the pitch before building.Limitations
Claude Code, Node 18 or newer, Google Chrome and ffmpeg are required, and the skill has been tested on macOS only. A 30-second video in one session takes about 0.4 to 0.7 million tokens and one to two hours, while splitting the build across agents is faster and costs several times more. Images, moving shots, voice and music come through your accounts (the README names Higgsfield, ElevenLabs and Suno) and are paid separately. The Take One name and logo are not covered by the MIT license.
How to disable. Delete the `~/.claude/skills/take-one` folder. Finished videos and temporary frame pages live on the Desktop and in Downloads and are deleted by hand.
FAQ
How do I install Take One?
Run `npx skills add talsiach/take-one -g -a claude-code`, then `bash ~/.claude/skills/take-one/scripts/doctor.sh`. A plain `git clone https://github.com/talsiach/take-one ~/.claude/skills/take-one` also works.
Does the skill pay for services without asking?
No. Before paid images, video, voice and music it asks about price and cap. The free path draws every frame in code and needs no external services.
How many roles are in the chain?
Twelve: strategist, creative director, writer, voice director, art director, storyboard artist, cinematographer, composer, sound designer, editor, reviewer and social copywriter. These are roles of one session, not twelve agents.
What does the reviewer do?
It sees only the finished cut, scores it and sends it back while the score is under the bar, three rounds at most. The skill never reports a failed check as a pass.
Where does my data go?
Everything is built on your machine, with no tracking or analytics. The skill goes online to read the sites you point to, load fonts and use paid services you agreed to. It never asks for a password or card.

README in short
The README shows one-line installation, the workflow from request to notes, cost and the limits of what it can do. The author notes that the skill is slow and strongest on product and brand videos. An environment check script, `doctor.sh`, is included.
