music-video-production
Provider-independent production workflow for AI agents creating music videos, lyric videos, visualizers, performance/narrative/dance videos, social cutdowns, album or single launch assets, and generated-media clips synchronized to songs. Use when planning, directing, prompting, editing, reviewing, or delivering video content built around a recorded song, artist performance, lyrics, beat timing, choreography, platform variants, music rights, likeness consent, accessibility, or synthetic-media disclosure.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
Turn a song into a coherent, rights-aware, platform-ready video package, treating the song as the fixed spine and emphasizing beat maps, lyric accuracy, rights notes, and approval checkpoints. It instructs considering master/audio changes only with approved edits and requires documenting rights status, consent, and platform-specific constraints.
How it works
It outlines intake data (song package, release goals, rights and safety, creative references), then guides selecting a primary and secondary concept route (e.g., Performance, Narrative, Lyric, Visualizer, Dance, Abstract). It directs building a beat-and-phrase map with timecodes, sections, lyric fragments, and emotional intensity. It prescribes writing a treatment and a shot list with specific fields, then developing performance/dance directions, lyric/text rules, and generated-video prompts. It provides guidance for edit rhythm, cutdown lengths, and prompt translation for AI tools, including constraints for lip-sync and lyric timing. It emphasizes rights checkpoints, disclosure requirements, and platform-compliance notes, plus a compilation of documented platform rules and compliance prompts.
When to use it
Use when planning, directing, prompting, editing, reviewing, or delivering video content built around a recorded song, artist performance, lyrics, beat timing, choreography, platform variants, music rights, likeness consent, accessibility, or synthetic-media disclosure. Triggered at intake, concept selection, beat mapping, treatment creation, shot-listing, performance direction, and final compliance review stages.
What it can touch
Includes guidance for the song map, lyric and on-screen text decisions, generated-video prompt translation, and generated-video prompts for AI tools. It mentions using generated clips for surreal inserts or visual texture and requires alignment of prompts to song map timing and continuity anchors.
Caveats
Cautions include preserving master audio unless approved edits are granted, never inventing rights clearance, flagging clearance questions to the client or rights holder, and re-checking platform rules before production. It lists platform-disclosure and compliance prompts (YouTube, TikTok, Meta, FTC) as non-legal guidance, to be treated as compliance prompts not legal conclusions, with note on current policy references as of 2026-07-11.

# Music Video Production Use this skill to turn a song into a coherent, rights-aware, platform-ready video package. Treat the song as the fixed spine: the video exists to amplify its structure, artist identity, lyrics, and release goal. Do not treat this as generic video generation. Music videos need beat maps, phrase maps, lyric accuracy, sync review, rights notes, performance direction, platform
What does the music-video-production skill do?
Provider-independent production workflow for AI agents creating music videos, lyric videos, visualizers, performance/narrative/dance videos, social cutdowns, album or single launch assets, and generated-media clips synchronized to songs.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add calesthio/generative-media-skills --skill music-video-production --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From calesthio/generative-media-skills, a repository with 112 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
