## What it does

The skill accepts a local file, uploaded video, URL, browser-visible clip, or repository media. It studies the screen composition, section order, typography, colours, transitions, hover states and scrolling, then writes a paste-ready prompt for an exact recreation or an inspired adaptation.

For local video, it uses `ffprobe` to inspect file properties and `ffmpeg` to extract frames around important timeline beats. The brief can cover pinned sections, masks, parallax, `video.currentTime`, WebGL, asset mapping and reduced-motion behaviour. It can also split asset prompts into images, video, textures and canvas elements.

When a referenced clip cannot be accessed, the skill asks for the exact file or URL instead of filling in details. That means the source video needs to be available before analysis starts. On request, it can produce an article with `content.md`, an implementation brief with QA checks, or an asset-generation pack.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill video-to-superprompt -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill video-to-superprompt -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill video-to-superprompt -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MengTo/Skills video-to-superprompt
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/video-to-superprompt/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill video-to-superprompt -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/MengTo/Skills --path agent-skills/codex/video-to-superprompt
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill video-to-superprompt -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/MengTo/Skills/tree/HEAD/agent-skills/codex/video-to-superprompt/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- inspect a UI layout from a reference video
- describe motion and scroll interactions frame by frame
- write a build prompt for recreating a page
- map required media and placeholders
- add mobile and reduced-motion requirements

## Example prompts
- Analyse this uploaded video and write a detailed prompt for recreating the interface.
- Inspect the video at this URL and describe its sections, transitions, scroll behaviour and assets.
- Create an implementation brief and QA checklist from this video after the build prompt.

description: Turn a reference video into a super detailed recreation or inspiration prompt. Use when the user provides, mentions, uploads, links, or points to a video and asks to analyze the design, UI, animations, transitions, scroll interactions, typography, colors, assets, WebGL/Three.js, storytelling, section-by-section behavior, or to create a prompt/article that recreates the page, app, interaction, or motion system.

# Video To Superprompt

## Goal

Convert any usable reference video into a builder-ready prompt that captures what the video shows, how it moves, how it should be rebuilt, and what assets or generated media are needed. The default output is one paste-ready prompt unless the user asks for an article, asset pack, or implementation.

## Workflow

1. **Locate the source video.**
   - Accept local paths, uploaded files, URLs, browser-visible videos, article assets, or repo media.
   - If the video is referenced but inaccessible, ask for the exact file or URL before inventing details.
   - If the user wants exact recreation, inspect any source HTML/CSS/JS or local page connected to the video before writing the prompt.

2. **Inspect the video technically.**
   - For local files, run `ffprobe` for duration, dimensions, frame rate, codec, and size.
   - Extract representative frames with `ffmpeg`, favoring timeline beats over uniform thumbnails.
   - Suggested quick pass:
     ```bash
     ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration,size:stream=width,height,r_frame_rate -of json "$VIDEO"
     mkdir -p /tmp/video-frames
     ffmpeg -y -i "$VIDEO" -vf fps=1 /tmp/video-frames/frame-%03d.jpg
     ```
   - For long or scroll-heavy videos, also extract start/middle/end and visible transition moments.

3. **Analyze in layers.**
   - Story: page/app purpose, emotional arc, section order, transition between beats.
   - Screen/layout: viewport framing, grids, sticky zones, cards, media, overlays, margins, navigation, footer.
   - Motion: reveal timing, easing, parallax, masks, pinned sections, scroll scrubbing, hover/tap states, looped ambient motion, camera moves.
   - Visual design: typography, color palette, surfaces, borders, shadows, texture, iconography, image/video treatment.
   - Technical rebuild: CSS/native APIs, IntersectionObserver, Web Animations API, GSAP ScrollTrigger, Lenis, Framer Motion/Motion One, Three.js/WebGL, canvas, video currentTime scrubbing, carousels, or other domain libraries.
   - Accessibility/performance: reduced motion, mobile behavior, touch/keyboard states, lazy loading, video preload, pixel-ratio caps, static fallbacks.

4. **Plan assets.**
