## What it does

The skill takes a product and a brief, checks supplied images, asks for missing details when needed, and picks a format: review, unboxing, try-on, or tutorial. It builds a product description from visible features and how the item works, then uses that description across storyboards to keep the product consistent. Clip count follows the requested video length.

Format choice follows the action: opening a sealed package calls for unboxing, while a product worn on camera calls for try-on. If a package photo is promised for an unboxing, the skill waits until the image arrives before building the video. A presenter acting in a brand-voiced commercial belongs to `generating-ad-videos` instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill generating-ugc-videos -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/generating-ugc-videos/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/generating-ugc-videos/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill generating-ugc-videos -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/generating-ugc-videos/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill generating-ugc-videos -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/generating-ugc-videos/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills generating-ugc-videos
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/generating-ugc-videos/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill generating-ugc-videos -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --path skills/generating-ugc-videos
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/generating-ugc-videos/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill generating-ugc-videos -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/SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/generating-ugc-videos/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Plan a creator-led product review
- Choose a video format from the requested action
- Split a requested runtime into clips
- Keep product details consistent across storyboards

## Example prompts
- Plan a 30-second customer review of this product.
- Create an unboxing concept that shows the package being opened.
- Write a numbered tutorial showing how to use this product.

description: Generates a UGC video — a creator or customer, on camera as themselves, sharing their own authentic take on a product. Use when the user wants a UGC video, creator video, influencer ad or endorsement, tiktok-style review, unboxing, try-on, OOTD, fit check, haul, tutorial, talking head, or creator testimonial. Not for a produced advertisement in the brand's voice, where a presenter or actor plays a role in the brand's spot — that is generating-ad-videos; not for a video with no person in it, or a person with no product to show.

  summary: "Produces UGC videos of any length - like review, unboxing, try-on, tutorial and more. It casts the actor, writes the script, and storyboards multiple clips to lock in actor and product consistency. It lets you direct every step to get a cohesive, ready-to-run ad in minutes."

# UGC Video

Turn a product into a video of a creator on camera.

Videos that do not have a person on camera with a product are out of scope — those should be generated by the `generating-videos` skill. 
A produced advertisement in the brand's voice — a commercial, TV ad or brand film where the person plays a role in the brand's spot rather than a creator sharing their own take — belongs to `generating-ad-videos`, even when a presenter is on camera.

**Settled for every job — never ask about these, and never re-decide them:** the delivered video is
`9:16` unless the user explicitly asked for `16:9` · the clip model is `seedance-2.0-fast` with audio
on, unless the user named one ·
storyboard sheets are `gpt-image-2` at `16:9` · how many clips there are comes from the length · the
clips are always joined, hard cuts, no transitions.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Read what you have

- **A product image or URL** → hand it to `analyzing-products` for what the product is, how a person
  physically uses it, which parts open or move, and what must stay identical wherever it appears.
- **Run `image_analysis` on every image supplied**, not only the product — what each one shows, and
  whatever the product facts leave out.
- **What each image is for comes from the brief, not from its contents.** A person in a frame does
  not make it a casting photo, and a second object does not make it a prop.
- **No product** → don't guess at one. It becomes the first thing Step 2 asks for.

### Step 2: Interview

**Skip this when the brief already settles the video** — a clear product, a clear format, a length.

Otherwise ask once, bundled into a single message, always with a free-text way out.

| Ask | When |
| --- | --- |
| **The product** — a link or a photo | Neither was supplied. Offer to wait for an upload; a photographed product beats a described one. |
| **How long** | The brief doesn't say. Offer 15s, 30s, 45s or 60s, and let them type their own. |
```
