Anime Cel Video Maker

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Making a short anime-style video from a brief or reference video
• Creating comedic anime reactions such as sweat drops and sparkle eyes
• Building school, street or rooftop scenes with time-of-day palettes
• Adding anime subtitles and impact frames to a clip

Example prompts

• “Make a short anime clip where Hina on a school rooftop at sunset reacts with sparkle eyes.”
• “Storyboard a classroom scene where Ren gets a sweat drop, then render it as an MP4.”
• “Add an impact frame and a dramatic zoom to the climax shot.”
• “Scaffold a new anime-cel project in ./videos/rooftop.”

Requirements

• Node.js, ffmpeg and Chrome, which the scaffold script checks for

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Scaffold bash .claude/skills/anime-cel/scripts/new_project.sh (--keep-demo keeps the example).
2. 2Storyboard each shot with its reads (what the viewer must understand, in order, with times) and the anime
3. 3Build one file per shot in src/scenes/ (IIFE ending in shots([[t0, fn]]), add its to
4. 4Look at it (from the project dir), open every image with Read
5. 5Render node render.mjs --frames --workers=4 && node render.mjs --encode --out=out/video.mp4 [--audio=...].

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 73492b0. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Shell and JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • node
  • bash
  • npm

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  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

Anime Cel Video Maker loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 201 tokens; SKILL.md has 518 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~201

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Make Japanese TV-anime style videos (MP4) with code — cel-shaded characters with tapered line art, big detailed eyes, hair clumps with a specular band, comedic anime reactions (sweat drop, anger vein, sparkle eyes, ≥< eyes, dot eyes, tears), painted skies with cumulus clouds, school/street/classroom/rooftop sets with time-of-day palettes, speed/focus lines, impact frames, dramatic zooms, smears, sakura petals and anime subtitles (CJK). Canvas 2D rendered frame by frame in headless Chrome, encoded with ffmpeg. Use when a reference video or brief calls for anime / 動畫 / 日系動畫 / アニメ / cel-shaded / slice-of-life / school romance / shōnen-style reactions, or when the video-clone router picks the anime-cel style. 2D only; characters are original (Hina, Ren) or new ones built on the same rig.
