video-podcast-maker

Use when the user gives a topic and wants an automated topic-driven narrated explainer, podcast, or knowledge-summary video (Bilibili / YouTube / Xiaohongshu / Douyin / WeChat Channels), or asks to learn visual design patterns from a reference video/image. Trigger when the user mentions creating a knowledge video, narrated explainer, video podcast, or animated infographic-style video from a topic — even if they don't say "video podcast" explicitly. Also trigger when the user wants to regenerate, re-render, rebuild, update, or iterate on a narrated video this skill already produced — e.g. they edited the script/prompt, changed the visuals, or swapped the background music and want the final video remade (reuse the existing videos/{name}/ directory, never start a new project). Do NOT trigger for generic video editing, trimming, format conversion, color grading, or non-narrative video tasks. Produces 4K video via research → script → TTS → Remotion → MP4 + BGM.

Minimal personal narrated-video pipeline — a topic becomes a talking-head-free explainer MP4 (1080p or 4K) via script → Azure TTS (SSML) → Remotion. Use when the user wants a quick narrated video from a topic without the full video-podcast-maker machinery (no extra skills, no thumbnails/shorts/publish matrix). Do NOT trigger for heavy production needs — use video-podcast-maker for those.

Smallest personal narrated-explainer-video pipeline (spoken narration over visuals, not an audio podcast), fully tool-agnostic and autonomous by default — topic → research ∥ asset collection → script → TTS → video → 4K render ∥ publish info + cover. The skill defines the pipeline logic and self-verified checkpoints; any TTS backend and any video tool (Remotion, HyperFrames, CapCut, ...) work, and how much human oversight to apply is set by the working project's AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, not here. Use when the user wants a quick personal narrated video with minimal steps, whether or not they name the tool stack. Do NOT trigger for audio-only podcasts, written episodic content, or heavy multi-format production.
