Design and build the visual layer of a long-form talking-head video as one persistent world the camera moves through, instead of a sequence of separate graphics. Use when asked to edit a video, add motion graphics, design the visuals for a script, plan an edit, or fix an edit judged confusing, text-heavy, hard to follow, or "clearly made by an AI". Covers the persistent world, camera grammar, the spotlight rule, spatial open loops, ornament and token discipline, transcript timing, and the verification gates.
Install
Run this in your project folder. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and dozens of other agents.
$ npx skills add nateherkai/herk-edit-kit --skill video-storytellingNeeds Node.js. Add -g to install for every project, or -a claude-code to skip the agent picker.
How to use Video Storytelling
Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /video-storytelling.
It includes scripts that Claude may run on your computer, so skim them on GitHub before you install.
