split-animated-short

75 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a media skill usually calls an AI service over the internet.

By kevinbadi/open-edits (GitHub) · media · 62 stars · scanned at commit 7fbd746

Turn a video script OR a source video URL (IG reel / YouTube / TikTok) into a 55/45 split-format vertical short — custom-generated animations in the top 55%, the AI persona (Megan/Danny) talking in a rounded band across the bottom 45%, narration + kinetic captions synced to the persona's voice. Zero source pixels used. Trigger when Kevin drops a script or a short-form video link and wants the split animated version for a persona.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'split-animated-short' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'split-animated-short' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named split-animated-short already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/kevinbadi/open-edits' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '7fbd74651ea945711792b207e8a9f0a167f78132' -- 'skills/split-animated-short' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/split-animated-short' ~/.agents/skills/'split-animated-short' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'split-animated-short' ~/.claude/skills/'split-animated-short' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
