At a glance

Check and configure motiscope — verify ffmpeg/ffprobe are installed and scaffold the API-key config used for optional (stubbed) asset generation.

  • First-time setup
  • SKILL.md covers Running motiscope, Run status, If ffmpeg/ffprobe are missing and Scaffold config, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls codex, brew and apt-get; needs REPLICATE_API_TOKEN and FAL_KEY
  • Motiscope isnt working

What it does

Motiscope Doctor is an agent skill from KumarSashank/motiscope. Check and configure motiscope — verify ffmpeg/ffprobe are installed and scaffold the API-key config used for optional (stubbed) asset generation. Use for first-time setup, "motiscope isn't working", dependency errors, or motiscope-doctor.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production, Web animation and motion and Game assets and audio. It works with FFmpeg. The repository describes itself as: Recreate any web animation from a screen recording. A motion-design plugin: analyzes motion (timing, easing, stagger, loops) and rebuilds it as GSAP / CSS / Framer Motion /… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • First-time setup
  • Motiscope isnt working
  • Dependency errors
  • Motiscope-doctor

Example prompts

  • “motiscope isn”
  • “/motiscope-doctor”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY
  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0ce3dd. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • codex
    • brew
    • apt-get
    • dnf
    • winget
    • choco

    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):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • REPLICATE_API_TOKEN
    • FAL_KEY
    • GEMINI_API_KEY
    • OPENAI_API_KEY
    • STABILITY_API_KEY
    • RUNWAY_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Motiscope Doctor loads about 936 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 424 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~936

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:45
    - **Linux:** `sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg` (or `sudo dnf install ffmpeg`)
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:58
    - `~/.config/motiscope/.env` (mode `0600`) — **optional** API keys for asset generation, commented out by default.
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:62
    write the key into `~/.config/motiscope/.env`:
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:72
    mmitted (the repo `.gitignore` excludes `.env`).

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.

motiscope: doctor

Check and configure motiscope — verify ffmpeg/ffprobe are installed and scaffold the API-key config used for optional (stubbed) asset generation. Use for first-time setup, "motiscope isn't working", dependency errors, or motiscope-doctor.

Running motiscope

motiscope is a shell command. If it isn't found it isn't on your PATH — see https://github.com/KumarSashank/motiscope#install. The reference guides live under $(motiscope home)/references/.

Invoking the sibling skills. In Codex, mention a skill with $motiscope-recreate. In Cursor, use /motiscope-recreate. Elsewhere, just follow that skill's SKILL.md.

Seeing the frames — do not skip this. The curated keyframes are PNG files on disk, and you must actually look at them. Codex: use the view_image tool (if it's unavailable, enable tools.view_image = true in ~/.codex/config.toml, or have the user relaunch with codex -i frame1.png,frame2.png). Cursor: the file-reading tool accepts .png and puts the image in context. If you genuinely cannot open images, say so — you can still report the measured timing, but you cannot know what is animating, and you must not guess it from the filenames.

Verify dependencies and scaffold config. motiscope's pipeline is pure Python standard library, so the only hard dependencies are ffmpeg and ffprobe.

Run status

bash
motiscope doctor --json

The JSON reports status, missing_binaries, install_hint, platform, config_file, env_file, and per-provider key presence.

If ffmpeg/ffprobe are missing

Do not install silently. Ask the user for permission, then run the platform command:

  • macOS (Homebrew): brew install ffmpeg
  • Linux: sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg (or sudo dnf install ffmpeg)
  • Windows: winget install Gyan.FFmpeg (or choco install ffmpeg)

Re-run mvsetup.py --check afterward to confirm (exit 0 = ready).

Scaffold config

bash
motiscope doctor

This creates, if absent:

  • ~/.config/motiscope/config.json — non-secret preferences (default_target, frame_budget, resolution, frame_format, image_provider, video_provider).
  • ~/.config/motiscope/.env (mode 0600) — optional API keys for asset generation, commented out by default.

API keys (optional)

Asset generation (creating an image an animation needs) is optional — no key is required for analysis or code recreation. Image generation is real for Gemini/Imagen; the other providers write a labeled placeholder until wired. To configure one, ask the user which provider, and write the key into ~/.config/motiscope/.env:

PurposeProviders (env var)
ImageGemini/Imagen (GEMINI_API_KEY) — implemented; OpenAI (OPENAI_API_KEY), Stability (STABILITY_API_KEY), Replicate (REPLICATE_API_TOKEN), fal (FAL_KEY)
VideoRunway (RUNWAY_API_KEY), Replicate (REPLICATE_API_TOKEN), fal (FAL_KEY)

Image generation works today with gemini (Imagen). Other providers write a labeled placeholder until wired.

Reassure the user: keys stay in a local 0600 file, are never printed, never written into generated code, and never committed (the repo .gitignore excludes .env).

Report back

Summarize: dependency status, what was scaffolded, and whether any provider keys are configured. If everything is ready, say so in one line and point them at motiscope-analyze.
