Newsletter promo, built in code
A promo does one job: make someone want the full edition. Show the best bits, never the whole thing.
Before you start: read brand.md and MOTION.md if they exist. If not, run brand-intake first, or ask for hex codes, a font and a logo file. Never call a result on-brand without them.
Step 1: Ask for four things, then wait
- The edition link or the full text. Read it before anything else.
- The hook. The one question or promise the edition answers. If none is given, propose three from the edition's own lines and wait for a pick.
- Three proof frames. Real images, charts or clips from the edition. Attached files only.
- The ending card, word for word: newsletter name, where to read it, and an optional subscriber count with its source.
Step 2: Structure (15 seconds)
| Time | Frame |
|---|---|
| 0-3s | The hook, big. A question works better than a statement. |
| 3-11s | Three proof frames, about 2.5s each, each with a 3-5 word label. |
| 11-15s | Newsletter name, "Read it free at [URL]", held still. |
Step 3: Build brief (paste into Claude Code)
Build one self-contained HTML file called index.html: a 15-second promo at [WIDTH] x [HEIGHT] for my newsletter edition, using only the files I attached.
Hook (0-3s): "[HOOK]" in bold condensed type, [TEXT] on [BG], key words in [ACCENT].
Proof (3-11s): my three attached images in this order, each held about 2.5 seconds with a slow push-in and this label: [LABEL 1], [LABEL 2], [LABEL 3].
End card (11-15s): "[NEWSLETTER NAME]" and "Read it free at [URL]". Hold still, readable on a phone.
Banned: typewriter text, glow, bouncing, gradients on text, any claim or number not in my brief.
Build rules: every frame from the time alone, window.seek(seconds), wait for seek when the URL has ?render. Capture one frame per shot and check every label is readable at phone size.
Step 4: Export and post
Export 1080 x 1350 for LinkedIn and 1080 x 1920 for Stories and Reels. Put the edition link in the first line of the caption, not only the comments.

motion-effects
charlie947/motion-graphics-skills
Build any of 16 premium motion effects from scratch in your own brand, as one 8-second looping HTML file with window.seek(seconds) so it exports frame-exact to MP4 or GIF. Interfaces (button to player, search to results, card to workspace, tabs to panels), data (chart morph, dashboard zoom, spring stack, magnetic dock), type (masked type, elastic type, text to layout, image reveal) and systems (perspective shift, glass focus, flowing paths, particle logo).

vox-explainer
charlie947/motion-graphics-skills
Make a short Vox-style documentary explainer (30-60 seconds) entirely in code with Claude Code. Torn paper, halftone texture, bold condensed type, motion on twos. Use when someone says "make a Vox-style video", "explainer video about...", "why does X happen", or wants a documentary-style motion graphic for LinkedIn, Instagram or YouTube without After Effects or a video generator.
reel-export
charlie947/motion-graphics-skills
Turn any horizontal or square motion video into a 1080 x 1920 Instagram Reel or TikTok that uploads cleanly. Headline and logos inside the safe zone, H.264, yuv420p, limited colour range, bt709, a silent audio track when there is no sound, and an ffprobe check before upload. Use when someone says "make this a reel", "vertical version", "export for Instagram", "TikTok version", "9:16 cut", "reel export" or has a 16:9 or 4:5 video that needs to go on a vertical feed.
launch-video
charlie947/motion-graphics-skills
Make a 30-45 second product launch video in code with Claude Code, the kind SaaS companies post on launch day. One sentence split across scenes, real product screens with slow camera moves, a typed prompt, a proof beat and a clear call to action. Use when someone says "launch video", "promo video for my product", "announce my course/cohort/offer", "make a launch reel" or "trailer for my product".
motion-brief-writer
charlie947/motion-graphics-skills
Turns a rough idea for an animated graphic into a precise build brief for Claude Code, in your own brand. Asks for anything essential first (exact numbers, size, length, brand), keeps real results apart from sample data, and never invents a figure. Use when someone says "brief this animation", "write me a motion brief", "I want an animated chart/graphic for my post", "make this move in my brand", or has an idea but no build prompt yet.
animated-chart
charlie947/motion-graphics-skills
Make a looping animated chart for LinkedIn or a newsletter in code with Claude Code. Bars that become a line, a number that counts up, a before and after. Every value stays exactly as given. Use when someone says "animate my chart", "animated graph", "make my results move", "stat animation" or wants a data graphic that loops.

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
