Video Podcast Maker

This is a full production pipeline that takes a topic and outputs a 4K video podcast through research, scripting, TTS, and Remotion rendering. It defaults to Bilibili's horizontal 16:9 format and handles everything from audio sync to thumbnail generation in both 16:9 and 4:3 ratios. The workflow has an interesting mandatory stop at the Remotion Studio preview step so you can request changes before committing to the final 4K render, which is a smart guardrail given how long those renders take. It also includes a design learning mode that extracts visual patterns from reference videos if you want consistent styling across episodes. High effort skill, but it automates the tedious parts of video production while keeping creative control where it matters.

Video Podcast Maker

Quick Start

Open your coding agent and say: "Make a video podcast about $ARGUMENTS"

Or invoke directly: /video-podcast-maker AI Agent tutorial

Design Learning (Optional)

Extract visual design patterns from reference videos or images and apply them to new video compositions. Skip this section unless the user provides a reference video/image or asks to save/list/delete style profiles.

→ See references/design-learning.md for commands, reference-library management, style-profile management, and integration with Pre-workflow / Step 9.

Auto Update Check

Agent behavior: Check for updates at most once per day (throttled by timestamp file). Before any shell command that reads files from this skill, resolve SKILL_DIR to the directory containing SKILL.md. If your agent exposes a built-in skill directory variable such as ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}, you may map it to SKILL_DIR.
