You say

“Read the installed SKILL.md and defaults.json. Use Hand-Drawn Stickman Video for my story. Produce its declared deliverables, preserve my sources and identify any unavailable service before calling it.”

After installing, say something like this to your agent with your own topic and assets. It asks only for what is missing.

FAQ

Do I need an account?

No. Copy the install prompt into your agent, or download the free ZIP.

What does it cost to run?

The Skill is free. It needs the tools listed under “You will need”. Any voice, model or media service you choose bills you directly; FeedSkills does not include provider credits.

Can I use the videos commercially?

Videos you make are yours to use, including commercially. The Skill package is licensed as: MIT · bundled fonts SIL OFL · original icon notices included. Fonts, music, footage and services you add keep their own terms.

Which agents does it work with?

Agents that read SKILL.md files, such as Codex or Claude Code. What FeedSkills has actually tested is listed under Tested scope below.

Details

Hand-Drawn Stickman Video

Compose illustrated stickman scenes, supplied narration, timed captions and local sound effects into a video. This independent Agent Skill shares a maintained stickman base and includes its own resources. Looks: Minimal Hand-Drawn.

What you can make

A real local MP4 with authored illustrated scenes, narration, captions and procedural SFX. Editable project, SRT/VTT, contact sheet and integrity report. Resumable shot cache and scoped preview review. Use the included fictional project to inspect the local composition, then replace its script, artwork and narration with your own.

Watch and compare

Explore all 7 stickman styles, their actual deliverables and the new B1 demonstration. A1/A2 looks are parameters within a style, not duplicate Skills. Upstream recordings remain external references, not FeedSkills-generated demonstrations.

Reuse and revise

Read defaults.json for this style and the installed guide for the workflow. Preserve the character, props and chosen voice; revise only the requested scene. The shared base keeps style definitions separate from local composition and service boundaries. Each installed Skill is self-contained.

Requirements and provenance

Node 20+, npm, FFmpeg/FFprobe; one-time npm ci. Local story-specific artwork, narration and genuinely aligned phrase cues.
