video-podcast-maker
Use when the user gives a topic and wants an automated video podcast created, or asks to learn visual design patterns from a reference video/image. Produces 4K video via research → script → TTS → Remotion → MP4 + BGM.
npx skills add dtsola/xiaoyaosearch --skill video-podcast-maker --agent claude-code
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.

Before any shell command that reads files from this skill, resolve `SKILL_DIR` to the directory containing `SKILL.md`. If your agent exposes a built-in skill directory variable such as `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}`, you may map it to `SKILL_DIR`. ```bash SKILL_DIR=

fiWhat does the video-podcast-maker skill do?
Use when the user gives a topic and wants an automated video podcast created, or asks to learn visual design patterns from a reference video/image. Produces 4K video via research → script → TTS → Remotion → MP4 + BGM.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add dtsola/xiaoyaosearch --skill video-podcast-maker --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 dtsola/xiaoyaosearch, a repository with 1,013 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.
