stickman

A free Claude skill that turns one idea into a finished wordless stick-figure short: black silhouettes, misty fog, one colour accent, 12-16 seconds, vertical 1080x1920 mp4 with sound. No animator, no After Effects, no paid tools.

"everyone waits on the shore for the perfect wave; one guy paddles out into small ugly waves every day;
 by the time the big wave comes he is the only one who can ride it"

-> Claude writes a short story file, renders it, adds sound, checks the frames, and hands you final.mp4.

The Seeds: "a crowd throws seeds at a man to mock him; he plants every one; years later his orchard feeds them"

Install

  1. Get it: git clone https://github.com/basharmokdad/stickman ~/.claude/skills/stickman (or download the ZIP from GitHub and unzip it into your skills folder:)
    • Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/stickman (Windows: C:\Users\<you>\.claude\skills\stickman)
  2. Install the requirements once: 
    pip install playwright numpy
playwright install chromium
    and make sure FFmpeg is on your PATH (ffmpeg -version).
  3. In Claude, say: "make a stickman video: ".

Run it by hand

python render.py examples/the-wave/story.js out --sheet   # video + contact sheet
python mix.py out                                         # sound + master -> out/final.mp4

Preview any story live: open player.html?story=examples/the-seed/story.js in a browser.

Your own sounds

mix.py synthesizes a quiet pad and soft hits for free. To use your own, put music.mp3 and files named after the sound types (splash.wav, thud.mp3, ...) in a folder and run python mix.py out --audio <folder>.
