npx skills add cognyai/claude-code-marketing-skills --skill reddit-launch-video -a claude-codeWhat reddit-launch-video does
The skill turns a product URL or short brief into a Reddit-focused launch video. It helps choose the target subreddits, the presentation format, and a concrete product detail for the opening. The composition relies on on-screen text, screenshots, or short screen captures, with captions carrying the message when there is no sound.
It scaffolds a HyperFrames project and supports square output plus a 4:5 variant. The resulting MP4 can be posted by hand or prepared for promotion through Reddit Ads. Video creation requires node version 22 or later and ffmpeg version 6 or later. The workflow stops when there is no concrete product detail to show.
