About this skill
What 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.
