# founder-product-video Produces a 65-second product video with a talking founder, then overlays the real product screens. Takes a product URL plus founder details and a photo. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 1700 installs · ★ 41 - Author: Pika-Labs - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins/tree/HEAD/skills/founder-product-video/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-07-20 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/founder-product-video ## What it does The skill builds a 65-second clip: four 15-second SeeDance acts of a founder on camera, a 5-second branded end card, and background music. Input is a product URL plus imagery from the user. Product screenshots and brand wordmarks get composited onto reveal shots after generation, so the visible UI stays legible instead of being invented by the model. Every step runs through Pika MCP — generation, render, captions, concat, audio mix. A brand kit folder is also required: either `brand.json` or an export from `build-a-brand` holding `brand.md`, tokens and logo files. If none exists, the skill calls `build-a-brand` first. Required inputs are the product URL, the founder's name and role, and a photo (a path, a link, or `generate` for an auto-made portrait). Before the first paid call the skill checks the balance and shows an estimate: roughly 4 000 credits for a typical four-act run. Nothing is spent until the user answers `proceed`. In non-interactive runs the config must carry `cost_ack=proceed`, otherwise the skill stops at the estimate. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins --skill founder-product-video -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/founder-product-video/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/founder-product-video/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins --skill founder-product-video -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/founder-product-video/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins --skill founder-product-video -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/founder-product-video/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins founder-product-video ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/founder-product-video/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins --skill founder-product-video -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins --path skills/founder-product-video ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/founder-product-video/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins --skill founder-product-video -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins/tree/HEAD/skills/founder-product-video/SKILL.md ## When to use it - shoot a founder pitch video for a product page - put real interface screenshots into an AI-generated clip - render a vertical or square cut for social - burn in captions and add music to the result - batch-render videos from CI without prompts ## Example prompts - Make a 60s founder video for https://example.com, photo at `~/Pictures/eli.jpg` - Build a founder video: Eli Kim, CEO, use `generate` for the portrait, brand kit in `./brand` - Render a 9:16 talking founder explainer with captions from `brief.md` ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 74baffe52b33cef5 ```text --- name: founder-product-video description: >- Use when the user asks for founder product video or a task matching the examples below. Generate a 65-second founder-style product video from a product URL + user-supplied imagery. Output is a 16:9 1080p MP4 — 4 × 15s SeeDance acts of a talking founder + 5s branded end card + background music. The user's actual product screenshots are composited onto product reveal shots after Seedance generation, so readable UI and brand text are real, not AI-imagined. Triggers — "founder video", "product video", "60s pitch video", "make a video of [founder] for [URL]", "talking founder explainer". Requires Pika MCP. Uses a supplied brand kit folder (`brand.json` or an exported build-a-brand kit with `brand.md`, tokens, logo assets); if no kit exists, run build-a-brand first. argument-hint: --founder "" [--photo ] [brand-kit=] [aspect=16:9|9:16|1:1] [--quick] [--config ] required-capabilities: - add_captions - analyze_brief - analyze_media - capture_website - edit_audio_mix - edit_concat - edit_video_compose - edit_text_overlay - extract_frame - generate_image - generate_music - generate_reference_video - generate_slide_animation - html_to_png - identity_balance - render_html_animation - task_status - task_cancel - upload_asset --- # founder-product-video You generate a 65-second founder-style product video from a product URL plus user-provided imagery: 60 seconds of talking-founder body video plus a 5-second branded end card. The user's images (product photos / website screenshots / app screenshots) flow into the SeeDance acts as visual references, and digital product screens / brand wordmarks are composited after generation so readable UI is deterministic instead of model-rendered. No cutaways. No website CSS extraction. AI generation, deterministic render, captions, concat, and music mix go through Pika MCP tools by default. Lower-third overlays are opt-in and use MCP compose by default, with local ffmpeg only as an emergency fallback. ## Cost transparency gate Before any paid MCP call, call `identity_balance({verbose: true})` once. Surface the current balance, recent burn rate, and remaining runway, then gate the run with this exact message: > Estimated cost: about 4,000 credits (~$40) for a typical four-act Seedance founder video plus supporting assets. This exceeds $5, so Reply `proceed` to continue or `cancel` to stop. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 74baffe52b33cef5 The third-party file has ended.
