What it does
The skill walks the agent through the full video pipeline from a topic to a finished file. It gathers material, writes a script, narrates it with local TTS (free edge or azure by key), lays out frames in Remotion and mixes tracks with FFmpeg. The result renders in 4K with subtitles, and vertical 9:16 shorts can be cut from the same run. A style-learning mode picks up visual patterns from a reference video or image, and paid asset generation always asks first.
Who it is for. For creators, marketers and developers who need to turn a topic into an explainer video quickly.
Good fit when
- You need an explainer or video podcast built from a topic or a ready script
- You want a 4K narrated video with subtitles without manual editing
- You need vertical shorts cut from a long video
Not a fit when
- You just need trimming, format conversion or color grading
- You cannot install Node.js, Python and FFmpeg
Example request
Make a video podcast about how embeddings work, narrate it with the free TTSLimitations
It needs Python 3.8+, Node.js 18+, FFmpeg and a Remotion project; the first Remotion install pulls about 2.2 GB of packages. The free edge backend runs without a key, azure needs AZURE_SPEECH_KEY and a region. Tested on macOS and Linux. Output quality depends on the script, which the authors suggest polishing by hand.
How to disable. Remove the video-podcast-maker skill from the agent's skills directory or from the skills CLI install.
FAQ
Do I need a paid key for narration?
No. The edge backend is free and needs no key. Azure connects by key if you want a different voice.
Can I rebuild a finished video?
Yes. The skill reuses the video project folder, so you can edit the script or music and re-render.

README in short
The README describes a topic-to-video pipeline: research, script, local TTS, Remotion composition and an FFmpeg mix. The repo ships three skill variants: the full one with templates, a lite version and a tool-agnostic nano. Output renders in 4K with subtitles, plus vertical shorts and style extraction from a reference. It installs via the skills CLI or a clone, while publishing to Bilibili, YouTube, Xiaohongshu, Douyin and WeChat stays manual. MIT licensed.
