You have a great video idea, but planning every shot, transition, and timing is a nightmare. You waste hours tweaking scripts that never feel precise. What if you could generate a second-by-second storyboard as a structured Markdown file—instantly?
Enter video-spec-builder. This CLI tool turns your raw concept into a video-spec.md ready for HyperFrames rendering. It enforces exact timings, scene descriptions, and camera directions, so your team (or AI) has an unambiguous blueprint.
How to Use
Install the skill in your AI assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex) with a single command:
npx skills add feicaiclub/video-spec-builder
Once added, you can describe your video idea in natural language. For example:
"A 30-second product demo: opening close-up of the device, zoom out to show user interaction, then a call-to-action text overlay."
The tool immediately outputs a precise timeline like:
# Product Demo (30s)
- 00:00-00:05: Close-up of device, ambient light, soft focus
- 00:06-00:15: Zoom out to user's hands, product in use, medium shot
- 00:16-00:30: Call-to-action overlay, fade to black
No more vague briefs. Every second is accounted for.
Why This is Interesting
- Saves hours – No manual storyboarding or spreadsheet gymnastics.
-
Consistency – Output follows the
video-spec.mdstandard, so HyperFrames renderers understand it immediately. - AI‑native – Works inside Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, so you can iterate conversationally.
-
Zero configuration – One
npxcommand is all you need to start generating production-ready specs.
Whether you’re a solo creator or part of a video team, this tool eliminates guesswork and speeds up the pipeline from idea to final render.
