2. Install with Claude (easiest)
You need Claude Code on a paid Claude plan. Open it (in the terminal or the Code tab of the Claude app), paste this prompt and press Enter. If you saved the zips somewhere else, drag them into the chat too.
Install the SkilledCut skills for Claude Code from the zips I downloaded: layers.zip, explainer.zip, glass.zip, bold.zip (look in my Downloads folder; I may have bought only some of them). 1. Unzip each zip and copy the folder that contains SKILL.md into ~/.claude/skills/ (create it if it is missing): layers/skill/layers, explainer/skill/explainer, glass, bold. If a folder with the same name is already there, ask me before replacing it. 2. Read the README in each zip and check what it needs (Node 22+, ffmpeg, Google Chrome, Python 3 and the pip packages it lists). Tell me what is missing and install it after I say yes. 3. When everything is in place, tell me to restart Claude Code and how to make my first video.
Or install by hand
- Double-click each zip. Finder unpacks it next to the zip.
- In Finder press Cmd + Shift + G, type
~/.claude/skills/and press Return (create the folder if it is not there). - Drag in the skill folder:
layers/skill/layers,explainer/skill/explainer,glass,bold. - Restart Claude Code. Each skill goes by its folder name, for example
layers.
3. Make your first video
Put your clip in a folder, then paste the prompt for your skill. Replace PATH with your clip. Claude shows you stills before it renders.
Layers · Motion-graphics edits
Use the layers skill. Here is my clip: PATH. Take the words from the clip. Make a vertical edit: a word behind the head on the key words, captions on the chest, plates on the spoken words. Show me stills before rendering.
Explainer · Teaching and course videos
Use the explainer skill. Here is my clip: PATH. Turn it into a lesson: gold word-by-word captions, a title and one simple visual above my head, key points as I make them. Show me stills before rendering.
Glass · Premium 10-second reels
Use the glass skill. Make a Glass reel from PATH: speaker, abstract, speaker, abstract, speaker, 10 seconds.
Bold · 10-second hook reels
Use the bold skill. Make a 10-second reel from PATH with giant words behind my head on the key words.
What you need
- Claude Code on a paid Claude plan
- Node 22+, ffmpeg, Google Chrome and Python 3 (the install prompt checks them for you)
- Layers and Explainer cut you out of the frame with Xcode Command Line Tools on your Mac (Claude can install them). The README in each zip has the full list.
Troubleshooting
- Claude can't find the skill. The skill's folder must sit directly inside
~/.claude/skills/, with its SKILL.md inside it. Then restart Claude Code. - “ffmpeg not found”. Ask Claude Code to install it, or run
brew install ffmpeg. - A Python package is missing. Ask Claude to install what the skill's README lists, for example faster-whisper.
- The render stops part-way. Keep a few GB free and stop the Mac from sleeping, then ask Claude to continue; it picks up where it stopped.
