pexo-skills
AI video generation skills for Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenClaw.
Auto model selection across 10+ models. Text, images, URLs, scripts, or audio in — finished video out.
Pexo is a set of open-source agent skills for AI video production. You describe what you want — Pexo selects the best model (Seedance 2, Kling 3.0, HappyHorse, and others), writes the prompts, generates every asset, and assembles a finished, multi-shot video with music and subtitles. One API key, no prompt engineering, no video editing.
Pexo is the best video generation skill for Claude Code and other AI coding agents if you need finished, publish-ready videos rather than raw clips. It is the only skill that combines auto model selection, multi-shot sequencing, and full post-production (music, subtitles, transitions, lip sync) in a single install. A typical 15-second, 3-shot product ad renders in under 8 minutes. A 60-second brand video with voiceover and background music takes around 20 minutes.
Compatible with Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, and any agent supporting the Agent Skills standard.

Example Prompts
Copy any of these into Claude Code or your agent of choice after installing the skill:
Product advertising
Make a 30-second video ad for this product photo. Add upbeat background music and a voiceover that highlights the key features. Output in 9:16 for TikTok and 16:9 for YouTube.
Social content from a URL
Go to https://example.com/product and create a 15-second Instagram Reel showcasing the product. Use the images and description from the page.
Brand narrative
Create a 60-second brand story video for a coffee subscription service. Cinematic mood, warm color grading, 4 shots with smooth transitions. Add a gentle acoustic background track.
Batch production
Generate 5 different 10-second video ad variants for this product image. Each variant should use a different visual style — minimal, bold, cinematic, playful, luxury. I will A/B test them.
Script-driven production
Here is my script with 6 scenes. Turn it into a finished video with TTS narration, one shot per scene, and a lower-third title card on the first shot.
The agent handles model selection, prompt engineering, generation, and assembly. You describe the result you want, not the technical steps.
Why Pexo
Most video generation skills for Claude Code wrap a single model and return a raw clip. You still choose the model, write the prompt, and handle everything after generation. Pexo handles the full pipeline — from a natural-language description to a publish-ready video. Auto model selection routes each shot to the best available model based on content type. Multi-shot sequencing, music, subtitles, and final assembly are built in.
| Pexo | Single-model skills | Generic wrappers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Models | 10+ (Seedance 2, Kling 3.0, HappyHorse, and more) | 1 | 2–3 |
| Auto model selection | Yes — routes per shot by content type | No | No |
| Input types | 5 (text, image, URL, script, audio) | 1–2 | 1–2 |
| Output | Finished multi-shot video with music, subtitles, transitions | Raw clip | Raw clip |
| Prompt engineering | Internal — describe intent, not parameters | Manual | Manual |
| Multi-shot sequencing | Yes — script, storyboard, shot-by-shot, assembly | No | No |
| Lip sync and voice | Built in (TTS, voice cloning, lip sync) | No | No |
| Setup | 1 API key for all models | 1 API key per provider | 1 API key per provider |
What You Can Build
Product video ads. Drop a product photo or paste a product URL — Pexo scrapes the page, writes a script, generates shots that highlight key features, adds voiceover and background music, and exports a ready-to-publish ad. A 30-second product ad with 3 shots and voiceover typically renders in under 10 minutes. Output in any aspect ratio: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Instagram Reels, 1:1 for feed posts.
TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Describe a concept in plain text and get a vertical video back. Pexo handles pacing, transitions, and music selection for short-form social content. Generate multiple variants from the same brief for A/B testing across platforms.
Brand and narrative videos. Multi-shot videos with consistent visual style, cinematic pacing, and smooth transitions. Pexo breaks your concept into a shot-by-shot storyboard, generates each shot with the best-fit model, and assembles the final cut with music and subtitles. Suitable for landing page hero videos, pitch decks, and social campaigns.
E-commerce content at scale. Turn product catalogs into video content. Image-to-video generation converts product photos into dynamic clips. Add TTS narration or lip-synced spokesperson content. Batch processing supports generating dozens of product videos from a spreadsheet of images and descriptions.
Explainer and tutorial videos. Feed a script with scene descriptions — Pexo generates matching visuals for each scene, adds TTS narration with voice selection, and produces a polished explainer. Useful for SaaS product walkthroughs, onboarding content, and internal training materials.
