I made a skill that has Claude Code direct a whole Vox-style explainer video

I make short explainer videos, and the look I keep coming back to is the Vox paper-collage style, hand-cut paper, torn edges, halftone dots, big cut-out headlines. Doing it by hand is a full day: script, a poster per beat, animate each one, voice over, music that does not fight the narration, then the edit with captions. I basically wanted Claude Code to run that whole pipeline for me, so I built it as a skill. Now I give it one line, like "the history of money, 60 seconds, English". Claude drafts a beat map and stops for me to approve it, runs a quick style bake-off so I pick the look by eye, then generates the collage keyframes, animates them, adds a narrator and music, and assembles the final mp4 with captions burned in. Generation goes through the Atlas Cloud API and the edit is local ffmpeg, so it never leaves the terminal. It takes three kinds of input: a topic and it builds the whole video, a talking-head clip and it restyles that into collage while keeping the real face…
