What it does
Tesseract Motion is an agent skill from mirage-hq/Tesseract. Create editable motion graphics locally in Tesseract, including full-frame animated scenes, typography, diagrams, lower thirds, and overlays on supplied footage. Use for focused motion-design work; use tesseract-video for assembling or revising a complete footage edit.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 30 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/ad-hooks.md` and `references/audio-and-timing.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Motion graphics, Typography and Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: Tesseract by Mirage — CLI releases and agent skills for creating and editing videos.
When your agent uses it
- Focused motion-design work
- Use tesseract-video for assembling
- Revising a complete footage edit
Example prompts
- “/tesseract-motion”
Workflow steps

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fbc9458. 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/, which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Tesseract Motion loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~34k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 537 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); the scripts in this folder 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 537 words (~1,106 tokens).
“For converting files to or from other editing tools, such as Premiere Pro or After Effects, read conversion. When opening shared or older .tsrct files, updating tools, or investigating load/render differences, read versions and compatibility.”

Tesseract Motion is an agent skill from mirage-hq/Tesseract. Create editable motion graphics locally in Tesseract, including full-frame animated scenes, typography, diagrams, lower thirds, and overlays on supplied footage.
When should I use Tesseract Motion?
Tesseract Motion fits situations like: focused motion-design work; use tesseract-video for assembling; revising a complete footage edit.
How do I install Tesseract Motion in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add mirage-hq/Tesseract --skill tesseract-motion -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/tesseract-motion in mirage-hq/Tesseract) into .claude/skills/tesseract-motion in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Tesseract Motion in Codex?

Can I use Tesseract Motion in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add mirage-hq/Tesseract --skill tesseract-motion -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/tesseract-motion, .gemini/skills/tesseract-motion, .github/skills/tesseract-motion and .opencode/skills/tesseract-motion in your project.
What does Tesseract Motion need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Tesseract Motion is instructions for the agent only.
Does Tesseract Motion access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Tesseract Motion safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Tesseract Motion use?
Tesseract Motion has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Tesseract Motion use?
About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 33k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
