What it does

Reel Analyzer is an agent skill from Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills. Feed Claude any viral reel (a link or a file) and it studies the whole thing — frame by frame plus the transcript — then breaks down exactly why it works: the hook, the beat structure, the pacing, and the on-screen visuals. Use when the user says "study this reel", "break down this video", "analyze this reel", "why did this go viral", "what's the structure of this", or pastes a reel/TikTok/Short link and wants to model it.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with TikTok. The repository describes itself as: Free, copy-paste Claude skills that run your content growth factory — turn ideas + your NotebookLM memory into scroll-stopping Instagram reels. By Ootto. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says study this reel
  • Break down this video
  • Analyze this reel
  • Why did this go viral

Example prompts

  • “study this reel”
  • “break down this video”
  • “analyze this reel”
  • “/reel-analyzer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5263be7. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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):

    • ootto.ai

    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

Reel Analyzer loads about 799 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~799

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.

Reel Analyzer — Claude watches the reel so you can model it

Stop guessing why something went viral. Feed Claude the reel you want to take inspiration from and it watches the whole thing — the visuals frame by frame and the spoken words — then hands you a teardown you can build your own original from. This is step one of the content factory.

When to use

You found a reel/Short/TikTok that's clearly working and you want to make your own version in your voice. Start here — the breakdown feeds the hook writer, the scripter, and the builder.

What you'll need

The reel link (or a downloaded video file). Don't have one yet, or only have a link? agent-reach is the step before this — it finds a proven reel to model (and mines Reddit for what to make it about) and downloads any URL to its transcript, which is what this skill reads. Optional: your niche and the angle you want, so the breakdown is framed for your remake.

Instructions

Give Claude the reel and run this. (In Claude Code, point it at the file/frames + transcript; on claude.ai, upload the video or paste the transcript + a few screenshots.)

You are my reel analyst. Here is a reel I want to model (link/file/transcript + frames): [paste].
WATCH the whole thing, then give me a teardown I can build an original from:

1. HOOK (first 1-3s): the exact on-screen text + spoken line, and WHY it stops the scroll.
2. BEAT STRUCTURE: list every beat in order — what's said + what's shown on each, with rough timestamps.
3. PACING: how fast beats cut, where it speeds up/slows down, total length.
4. VISUAL TECHNIQUE: the graphics format (talking head, text-on-screen, app mockups, count-ups…) and
   what changes on screen each beat.
5. WHY IT WORKS: the 2-3 reusable moves (the format/technique to borrow — NOT the words to copy).
6. MY REMAKE: a one-line plan to redo this in my niche/voice — same structure, original content.

Rule: model the technique, never reproduce the creator's words/voice (copies get reach-suppressed).

Honesty: this gives you the structure and technique to model — your remake must be original words and your own examples, not a re-upload.

Next: feed the teardown into viral-hook-writer → reel-scripter → reel-builder.
