What it does
The skill acts as a director during video prep. You say you want to make a video, and it asks questions: who it is for, how long, the one line the viewer should walk away with, which shot carries the weight. Where an answer is vague, it does not let you skip and pins down the details. The output is a video-spec.md file with a second-by-second shot script that you can hand to HyperFrames to render. The skill is agent-agnostic and installs with one command in Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.
Who it is for. For video makers, marketers and SMM specialists who struggle to turn a video idea into a concrete script.
Good fit when
- You have a video idea but no clear script
- You need a second-by-second shot list before rendering
- You are preparing a video for HyperFrames rendering
Not a fit when
- The script is already done and needs no work
- You need a finished video file, not a spec
Example request
I want to make a short video about our product, help me build a second-by-second shot scriptLimitations
The skill only prepares the video spec; it does not render anything: the finished video-spec.md goes to HyperFrames. Output quality depends on your answers to its questions. It is instructions for an agent, not a standalone program.
How to disable. Remove the video-spec-builder skill folder from your agent's skills directory.
FAQ
Does the skill make the video itself?

README in short
The README argues the hard part of a video is not rendering but figuring out what you actually want to shoot. The skill takes over that stage: it asks about audience, length, the core message and the key shot, refusing to let vague spots pass. The result is a precise video-spec.md handed to HyperFrames.
