Three roles you would otherwise hire, plus the plumbing that connects them. You do not need all of it on day one, and each piece is useful on its own.
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md inside that teaches Claude a process once. canvas-design is Anthropic's own, and it is specifically built to output finished .png and .pdf artwork instead of a text description of a design. Uploading a skill works on every plan, Free through Enterprise.
skills/canvas-design folder inside.canvas-design and compress it, so you end up with a single canvas-design.zip containing the folder and its SKILL.md. Uploading the whole repo zip will not work.canvas-design folder straight into ~/.claude/skills/.Use the canvas-design skill. I need three Instagram carousel covers for [topic], sized 1080 by 1350, in my brand: a cream background, one warm orange accent, a serif headline with a clean sans body, generous white space, and no stock photography.
Each cover needs a short headline of five words or fewer, a small lowercase kicker label above it, and calm empty space at the bottom where my handle will sit. The three should read as a set, so keep the type scale and the accent placement consistent.
Give me the design direction first, in one short paragraph, so I can approve it before you make anything. Once I say go, export each cover as a full resolution PNG and give me a single PDF with all three.Remotion lets you build videos in React, which sounds like a developer thing until you realise what it means for you: your intro animation stops being a file you re-export from an editor and becomes something Claude can edit on request. Change the title, change the colour, re-render, done.
npx create-video --yes --blank my-video. That builds a fresh Remotion project in a folder called my-video.cd my-video, then npm install, then npx remotion skills add. That last command installs Remotion's own agent skills so Claude knows the framework properly instead of guessing at the API.npm run dev. A live preview opens in your browser and updates every time the code changes, so you watch the animation build itself.cd my-video, and start Claude Code with claude. It can now read and edit the project files directly.npx remotion render yourself and pick the composition. The MP4 lands in the out folder.Build me a reusable intro animation in this Remotion project. Three seconds, 1080 by 1920, cream background, my handle appearing letter by letter in a serif font, a thin orange line drawing itself underneath as the letters land, and a soft fade out over the final 15 frames.
Make the handle text, the two colours and the total duration into props on the composition, so I can change them later without touching the animation code. Then add a second composition that renders the same animation at 1920 by 1080 for landscape.
When it works in the preview, tell me the exact command to render each one to MP4, and explain in two lines which file I edit if I want to change the timing later.This is the B-roll department. Once Higgsfield is connected, Claude writes the shot prompts and generates the clips inside the same conversation, so you brief a scene instead of tab-hopping. You connect it once.
mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp.Using the Higgsfield connector, generate four B-roll clips for a video about [topic]. Each one is five seconds, vertical 9 by 16, and should read like real footage rather than an obvious render.
Here are the shots: [shot 1, with the subject, the lighting and the camera move], [shot 2], [shot 3], [shot 4]. Keep the look consistent across all four, same colour temperature, same lens feel and same depth of field, so they cut together in a single sequence.
Show me the four prompts you are about to send before you spend any credits, so I can adjust them. Then generate them one at a time and give me the download link for each.For still images rather than motion, Reve is the image model I use when a cover or thumbnail has to carry the post. Also paid, and worth it only once the graphic is doing real work.
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is an open standard for connecting Claude to outside tools, and it is the difference between three separate AI tools and one team. Without it you are the integration: you copy a prompt out of Claude, paste it into another tool, download the result, and bring it back. With it, Claude calls the tool itself and keeps the context. Setup and troubleshooting live in Anthropic's custom connectors guide.
Here is this week's content brief: [topic, the hook, and the three or four key points]. Run it end to end using the tools you have.
First, use the canvas-design skill to make the carousel covers and the in-post graphics. Then, in my Remotion project, update the intro animation with this week's title and render it. Then use the Higgsfield connector to generate the three B-roll clips the script calls for.
Before you start anything, list exactly what you are about to make, ask me for anything you are missing, and flag every step that will cost credits so I can approve it first. Work through them one at a time and show me each result before moving on.Pick the job you currently hate most. If you are burning hours in Canva, install the design skill and stop there. If your intro is the bottleneck, do Remotion. If you are hunting for stock footage that never fits, connect Higgsfield. Add the next piece only when the first one has genuinely saved you an hour, because a half-built system you do not trust is slower than doing it by hand.
