Open-source Claude skill turns one prompt into a kids' English-learning cartoon, costing a fraction of a Pro quota
dotey · x · 2026-11-11
Developer linxiaobei released kids-english-video, a Claude Code skill that generates 3-6-year-old English-learning cartoons from a single prompt: 1920×1080 landscape, 2-3 minutes per episode, with Q&A sentence patterns, word cards, read-along and pause-to-answer segments.
- 5 art styles (flat vector, crayon, paper-cut, 3D clay, watercolor) each with 4 characters' mouth/action base frames; 4 background-music options
- Toolchain: Codex image gen for characters, free Fish Audio TTS (cached per voice+text), Canvas frame-by-frame rendering via headless Playwright, Python-synthesized SFX, FFmpeg mixing at -16 LUFS
- Tested with Claude Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.2 with similar quality; one episode costs 20% of a Pro 5-hour quota, so 10 episodes/day are feasible
- Usage: npx skills add <repo>, then ask your agent for an episode
