video-shotcraft: an agent skill for crafting cinematic product videos with a library of 104 shot recipes and a production-ready template

What it solves

video-shotcraft provides a structured toolkit for AI agents (like Claude Code or Codex) to create professional, cinematic product promo videos. It eliminates the need for manual motion design by providing the agent with a library of proven shot recipes, motion previews, and a production-ready template.

How it works

The project acts as an "agent skill" that integrates with AI coding agents. The agent uses the provided library of 104 shot recipe cards (detailing timing, easing, and implementation notes) and 161 motion previews to storyboard and animate videos using the Remotion framework. It includes a complete video template called "Ink Press" for rapid deployment, as well as a curated library of 149 SFX and BGM options for beat-synced sound design.

Who it’s for

Developers and product owners who want to generate high-quality marketing, launch, or demo videos for web and desktop products using AI agents.
