What it does

Product Demo Video is an agent skill from mikeOnBreeze/cc-crossbeam. Generate 2-minute product demo videos for technical projects (GitHub repos, APIs, technical products). Runs parallel build options with structured critic review. Use when demoing code, explaining architecture, or creating explainer videos.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/WORKFLOW-ANALYSIS.md`, `references/critic-business.md` and `references/critic-technical.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: CrossBeam Permits — AI-assisted building-permit plan review for cities and builders. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Explaining architecture
  • Creating explainer videos

Example prompts

  • “/product-demo-video”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Discovery
  2. Script
  3. Parallel Build
  4. Parallel Critics
  5. Iterate
  6. Final Review
  7. Deliver

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cc5591e. 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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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

Product Demo Video loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 306 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.7k

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.

Product Demo Video

Generate 2-minute product demo videos for technical projects with parallel build options and structured critic review.

When to Use

  • Demoing a GitHub repo, API, or technical product
  • Need professional explainer video quickly
  • Want multiple approach options (animated vs simple)

Workflow (7 Phases)

DISCOVERY → SCRIPT → PARALLEL BUILD → PARALLEL CRITICS → ITERATE → FINAL → DELIVER
   │           │           │                │              │          │         │
 5-10m      10-15m      30-60m           10-15m        0-3 loops   gate    ship it

Phase 1: Discovery

Clone and analyze the repo:

bash
gh repo clone <owner/repo> /tmp/<repo>

Extract:

  • What it does (1 sentence)
  • Who it's for
  • 3-5 key features
  • Architecture/flow
  • Visual assets (logos, diagrams)

Ask (or use defaults):

QuestionDefault
Duration2 min
AudienceMixed (tech + business)
ToneProfessional-conversational
FormatAnimated explainer

Phase 2: Script

Use references/script-template.md structure:

Scene 1: Hook (0:00-0:15) — Problem statement
Scene 2: Context (0:15-0:30) — Why this matters
Scene 3-5: Features (0:30-1:30) — 3 key capabilities, 20s each
Scene 6: Technical (1:30-1:50) — Architecture/credibility
Scene 7: CTA (1:50-2:00) — What to do next

Guidelines:

  • 150 words/minute
  • Max 20 words/sentence
  • Active voice
  • Concrete over vague

Phase 3: Parallel Build

Spawn 2 sub-agents to build options simultaneously:

typescript
// Option A: Remotion (animated)
sessions_spawn({
  label: "demo-video-option-a",
  task: `Build animated demo video using Remotion.
  
  Script: [paste script]
  Voice: Use ElevenLabs, voice ID CcEB0ARKH8qIyzh2I1OR
  Output: /tmp/demo-video/option-a.mp4
  
  Approach:
  1. Generate voiceover per scene (ElevenLabs API)
  2. Create Remotion project with scene components
  3. Sync animations to audio timing
  4. Render at 1080p 30fps`
})

// Option B: Slides + ffmpeg (simple)
sessions_spawn({
  label: "demo-video-option-b", 
  task: `Build slide-based demo video.
  
  Script: [paste script]
  Voice: Use ElevenLabs, voice ID CcEB0ARKH8qIyzh2I1OR
  Output: /tmp/demo-video/option-b.mp4
  
  Approach:
  1. Generate voiceover (ElevenLabs API)
  2. Create slides with Puppeteer (HTML → PNG)
  3. Combine with ffmpeg, sync to audio
  4. Add simple transitions`
})

Wait for both. Present options to user or auto-select based on quality.


Phase 4: Parallel Critics

Spawn 2 critic personas (see references/ for full rubrics):

typescript
// Business Critic
sessions_spawn({
  label: "critic-business",
  task: `Review demo video as Business Critic "Mike".
  
  Video: [path]
  Script: [content]
  
  See references/critic-business.md for full persona and rubric.
  
  Score: Clarity, Professionalism, Business Value (1-10 each)
  Output: Structured review with overall score and specific fixes.`
})

// Technical Critic  
sessions_spawn({
  label: "critic-technical",
  task: `Review demo video as Technical Critic "Senior Engineer".
  
  Video: [path]
  Script: [content]
  
  See references/critic-technical.md for full persona and rubric.
  
  Score: Technical Accuracy, Credibility, Completeness (1-10 each)
  Output: Structured review with overall score and specific fixes.`
})

Phase 5: Iterate

Quality gates:

GateAction
Both critics ≥7.5, no Critical issues→ Ship
Any critic <7.0 OR Critical issue→ Iterate
After 3 iterations, still failing→ Escalate to human

Iteration loop:

  1. Collect all Critical/Important issues
  2. Fix in order of severity
  3. Re-render affected scenes only (if possible)
  4. Re-run critics

Phase 6: Final Review

Before shipping, verify:

  • Both critics passed (7.5+)
  • No Critical issues remain
  • Audio synced correctly
  • All scenes render cleanly
  • CTA is clear

Phase 7: Deliver

Output:

✅ Demo video complete!

📹 Video: demo-video-final.mp4 (2:03)
🎯 Audience: [target]
📊 Scores: Business 8.2/10 | Technical 7.8/10
