What it does

Motion Canvas Video is an agent skill from WrongStack/WrongStack. Create exported TypeScript animations with Motion Canvas scenes, signals, generators and narration cues. Use when producing animated diagrams, code walkthroughs or precise 2D video timelines; use motion-design for interactive web UI and manim-video for mathematical scenes.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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 Text to speech and voice, Frontend development and Motion graphics. It works with TypeScript, Manim and Vite. The repository describes itself as: An AI coding agent that reads your code, edits files, runs commands, and reasons through bugs — across a terminal REPL, a full-screen TUI, and a browser UI, while you keep your… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Producing animated diagrams
  • Code walkthroughs
  • Precise 2D video timelines
  • Use motion-design for interactive web UI and manim-video for mathematical scenes

Example prompts

  • “/motion-canvas-video”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify all Motion Canvas package versions together and inspect the Vite plugin's
  2. Build scenes with makeScene2D and controlled generators. Use yield* for awaited
  3. Treat signals as scene values; read them through their API, not copied snapshots
  4. Synchronize narration with timeline cues/time events rather than approximate
  5. Specify fps, dimensions, duration and exporter. An editor preview or PNG sequence
  6. Keep scene reset and seeking deterministic: no wall-clock logic, unresolved

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a744bdc. 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):

    • motioncanvas.io
    • registry.npmjs.org

    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

Motion Canvas Video loads about 957 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 408 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~957

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.

Motion Canvas Video

Selection card

  • Task: Animate a scripted 2D scene with Motion Canvas. / TR: Motion Canvas ile kodlu 2D sahne canlandır.
  • Start: Identify the existing engine, scene, timeline and delivery format.
  • Finish: apply the acceptance checks below; report observed results and unresolved constraints.

Overview

Target Motion Canvas 3.17.2, verified 2026-10-09 for core, 2d, vite-plugin and ffmpeg packages. Motion Canvas is a video scene/timeline system; its JSX is not React and its generators are not browser animation hooks.

Rules

  1. Verify all Motion Canvas package versions together and inspect the Vite plugin's peer range. Version 3.17.2 declares Vite 4.x or 5.x; latest Vite is 8.3.4. Do not force this unsupported combination or silently claim all packages are current and compatible. Report the blocker; isolate a compatible video workspace only when that tradeoff is authorized, or choose another renderer.
  2. Build scenes with makeScene2D and controlled generators. Use yield* for awaited animation, and explicit all/sequence/chain primitives for composition.
  3. Treat signals as scene values; read them through their API, not copied snapshots that stop reacting. Keep node refs and ownership explicit.
  4. Synchronize narration with timeline cues/time events rather than approximate sleeps. Resolve fonts, images and audio before rendering.
  5. Specify fps, dimensions, duration and exporter. An editor preview or PNG sequence does not establish that a playable MP4 with audio was exported.
  6. Keep scene reset and seeking deterministic: no wall-clock logic, unresolved network state or unseeded random layout in rendered frames.

Workflow

  1. Inspect project/package/tsconfig and the editor's installed rendering integration. Read the current official setup before scaffolding; preserve package-manager choice.
  2. Write a storyboard with scenes, labels and narration markers.
  3. Prototype a scene with nodes, refs and a sequential/parallel transition. Test timeline seeking and repeated playback before building the whole video.
  4. Add responsive scene geometry for the output dimensions, safe areas and readable text. Reuse visual roles across scenes.
  5. Inspect boundary frames and export a short sample. Check alpha and background handling, font availability, timing and audio inclusion.
  6. Export the final video or assemble the image sequence through FFmpeg with matching fps. Probe and play the delivered file.

Before returning

  • Package/peer compatibility reported; unsupported Vite upgrade not hidden.
  • Scene source and reproducible export instructions provided.
  • Output dimensions, fps, duration and audio streams checked.
  • Preview checks distinguished from final-file playback.

Sources

Quickstart, animation flow, npm plugin metadata.

Skills in scope

  • media-production — renderer choice and final assembly.
  • audio-studio — narration and soundtrack.
  • tech-stack — dependency compatibility.
