Anime Production Skill
An anime teaser, ad & MV maker for AI coding agents — it turns finished illustrations and a music track into YouTube shorts and reels, rendered locally with Remotion.
A Short for Reincarnator × Regressor
I decided to test out my newly compiled skill with the illustrations I drew by hand, and included a soundtrack — though the music was generated by Suno, I wrote the lyrics. Yes, in Japanese. (Sound on — tap to play.)

A skill to turn your illustrations into an animated short, suitable for any coding agent
The Anime Production Skill is a self-contained agent skill — a set of instructions plus a bundled rendering engine that an AI coding agent reads and executes on its own. Feed it to your AI harness, hand it your finished illustrations or comic pages and a music track, and it renders a vertical (9:16) anime teaser, advertisement, or music video — the kind you'd scroll past on YouTube Shorts or TikTok to discover a new series.
It was built and tested with Claude Code, but it isn't tied to any one harness.
The instructions are plain markdown (AGENTS.md → SKILL.md) and the engine
is plain Remotion/React with no harness-specific dependencies — so it works just as well with
OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or any AGENTS.md-aware agent.
Under the hood: a Remotion (React) video pipeline rendered entirely on your own machine — no cloud service, no watermark, no per-render cost.
What it can do
- Ken Burns camera motion — slow pans and zooms that give still art a cinematic drift.
- Crossfades & transitions between illustrations for a smooth, edited feel.
- Particle effects — shooting stars, embers, drifting petals, and more.
- Animated video panels — drop in the depth-parallax clips from the background generator as moving panels.
- Bilingual (EN/JP) credit overlays — title cards and credits in both languages.
- "Showcase" mode — a Kadokawa-ad-style clean white treatment for cover shots.
- BGM with fade-out — sync a music track, ending on a clean fade.
- Zero watermark — the render is yours, clean, at full quality.

I originally found the Anime Production Skill on the MCP Market, which appears to be a markdown file that listed tools. I downloaded the skill, but realized I had to set up quite a few things, so I decided to rebuild it into something that would make it easier and smoother to use.
My version isn't just a skill — it's now a setup guide that instructs your AI harness to first install the necessary tools and set up the necessary pipeline, together with a complete source engine and bug fixes that I encountered. Feel free to download the skill — the link to my repository is provided below.
This is part of a broader webcomic/animation ecosystem
Along with my Webcomic Background Generator MCP server and soon-to-come speech bubble MCP server, this is part of a wider webcomic/animation ecosystem that I intend to build. I envision them to synergize with each other. For example, upon completing your illustrations or webcomic panels with the Background Generator MCP server, you can then use his feature to create depth-parallax clips in the form of MP4s that you can easily drop straight into this anime production skill's pipeline to create a promo or advertising short. All of this, achieved in a single, connected workflow.
Get the skill
It's open source (MIT) and built to be portable. Ask your AI harness — Claude Code, Codex, Google
Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or any AGENTS.md-compatible agent — to clone the
webcomic-toolkit repository, go into the
anime-production-skill
folder, and follow the setup docs. It'll install the engine and render your first video for you.
Bring your own illustrations and a music track, and let your harness handle the animation. Focus on the art and the story; leave the video editing to the skill.
