At a glance
Turns any URL into a short cinematic product-demo video on macOS, scouting the page, recording it with virtual input, then treating the clip with Cap's 3D camera and music.
- Works in 5 steps: Scout + shoot → Frame-QA the raw recording (before… → Treat + export → …
- Generating a quick cinematic demo video of a website for a landing page or launch post
- SKILL.md covers The skill directory, Requirements, One-liner and Two modes, plus 4 more sections
- Runs JavaScript and Python scripts from its folder; calls node, ffmpeg and python3
What it does
Given a URL, the pipeline scouts the page headlessly, drives a headed browser with CDP-based virtual mouse and keyboard input so the user's real cursor is never touched, records with Cap's CLI, then treats the recording with Cap's 3D camera, a brand-matched background gradient, a synthetic cursor and music, exporting an mp4. It is macOS-only for now, assumes Apple Silicon, and resolves a cached Playwright Chromium under the user's Library caches.
Running it needs Node 18 or newer with playwright-core installed once inside the skill directory, Python 3 and ffmpeg or ffprobe on PATH, and the cap CLI (Cap Desktop) on PATH with macOS screen-recording permission granted to it. The one-liner cap-demo <url> writes output to a default temp folder or a chosen output directory.
Two modes trade speed for polish: a deterministic mode with fixed heuristics that scores the best call to action, picks click-through versus scroll, and paints a gradient and music choice from the page's own colors for roughly 70 percent quality batch runs, and an agent-driven recipe that frame-QAs each stage, sets the brand color by eye, matches export fps to the real capture rate and reshoots when needed for about 95 percent quality.
When your agent uses it
- Generating a quick cinematic demo video of a website for a landing page or launch post
- Batch-producing simple product demo videos without watching every frame
- Making a higher-polish agent-reviewed demo video for a specific page
Example prompts
- “cap-demo https://mysite.com”
- “Make a polished, agent-reviewed demo video of our pricing page.”
- “Batch-generate demo videos for these ten landing pages overnight.”
Requirements
- macOS on Apple Silicon
- Node.js 18 or newer with playwright-core
- python3
- ffmpeg and ffprobe
- The cap CLI with screen-recording permission
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Scout + shoot
- Frame-QA the raw recording (before treating)
- Treat + export
- Frame-QA the export, then regrade if needed
- Deliver
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d327051. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (JavaScript and Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodeffmpegpython3npxffprobe
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
cap.so
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Cap Cinematic Demo Generator loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,266 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,266 words (~2,392 tokens).
“Give it a URL, get back a short, cinematic product-demo video. The pipeline scouts the page headlessly, shoots a headed browser with virtual input only (CDP mouse/keyboard — the user's real cursor is never touched), records with Cap's CLI, then…”
