demo-producer_skill

Overview

This skill creates polished demo videos for skills, tutorials, CLI recordings, plugins, and code walkthroughs. It automates script generation, terminal recording, and Remotion-based composition to produce horizontal, vertical, and square outputs. Use it to convert documentation or a CLI flow into ready-to-publish video assets quickly.

How this skill works

The pipeline detects content type, analyzes source files or a custom description, and generates a terminal script plus VHS tape recordings. A script generator produces .sh/.tape files, VHS sim records the terminal session, and Remotion compositions render the final MP4 outputs in multiple formats. Templates (TriTerminalRace, ProgressiveZoom, SplitThenMerge, Scrapbook) control layout, pacing, and visual components.

When to use it

• Creating short marketing demos for a skill, agent, or plugin
• Recording CLI workflows or terminal-based tutorials for social platforms
• Producing step-by-step code walkthroughs or technical tutorials
• Converting documentation or a README into a visual demo
• Generating multi-format assets (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) for cross-platform promotion

Best practices

• Focus on one feature or outcome per video to keep runtime concise
• Use real commands and outputs so the demo feels authentic
• Choose a template that matches your goal: TriTerminalRace for comparisons, ProgressiveZoom for detailed tutorials
• Select audio presets that match tone—Ambient for tutorials, Energetic for marketing
• Include a clear CTA and install/usage command at the end

Example use cases

• Record a 20–30s tutorial showing how to build and run a REST API (progressive-zoom)
• Produce a 15s split-screen before/after CLI transformation for a tool launch (split-then-merge)
• Create a 6–10s quick demo highlighting one new plugin feature for social ads (tri-terminal-race)
• Render vertical shorts of a code walkthrough to repurpose long-form docs into TikTok/Reels
• Batch-generate demos for a skill catalog to populate a marketing gallery
