Adds a chapter grid to a talking-head video: every section as a card in a grid, then the view glides in on the current one as it lights up. Timed to the words they say, on their own footage, with their sound kept; 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when someone wants a map-like chapter opener for a series or a long video, showing all parts and moving in on the one starting now.

About this skill

You say

Show the parts of talk.mp4 as a chapter grid and glide to "What we tried".

It said back

The chapter grid is rendered and saved as talk-graphics.mp4. It's 1920x1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps. I checked the settled frame (the pan has landed on "What we tried") and the check found no layout problems. I didn't watch the full render, and I couldn't judge the glide itself from a still.

  • What it shows: A three-card grid, "The cost", "What we tried" and "The result". The view pushes in and glides to "What we tried", which fills with the accent colour.
  • Timing: It is tied to "we tried three things" and runs from 9.7 s to 13.7 s, with the speaker talking underneath.
  • Look: paper (warm off-white cards, tomato accent), with the face position set to 49%, 30%.
  • Sound: It is the speaker's own audio, unchanged.
  • Cost and notes: No picture model was used, so it cost $0. There were no NOTEs.

Questions

Is Chapter Grid Pan free?

No. Chapter Grid Pan costs $9.99 once and stays in your Recaply account, or it comes with the Recaply plan ($19.99 a month), which opens every premium skill and prompt.

Which agents can use Chapter Grid Pan?

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode.

What do I get when I buy Chapter Grid Pan?

A ZIP of the whole skill folder (106 KB): the SKILL.md your agent follows and its 12 other files, the references, templates and scripts it uses. You download it from this page whenever you need it, and install it in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode. The Recaply plan opens it too, with every other premium skill and prompt.

How do I install Chapter Grid Pan?

Buy it, then download the ZIP from this page. For Claude Code, unzip it into .claude/skills/ in your project. For Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI, unzip it and run npx skills add ./chapter-grid-pan-overlay with your agent's flag.

What do I get from Chapter Grid Pan?

Your video with the overlay timed to the words, sound kept. The whole course or video appears as a grid of numbered cards. 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5.

What does Chapter Grid Pan need?

Node 22+, Chrome and ffmpeg, and no API key. Each use costs nothing beyond your agent.

How big is Chapter Grid Pan?

13 files, about 80,002 tokens in all. The SKILL.md is about 2,340 tokens, and your agent reads it only when the job fits.

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 1 min 37 s to 1 min 37 s and $0.13 to $0.13 of API use each, in Claude Code with claude-sonnet-5-5. On a Claude plan, a run counts toward your usage instead.

Do I have to name Chapter Grid Pan to use it?

Type /chapter-grid-pan-overlay first to make sure it loads. Without it, Claude Code may judge a small job simple enough to do without the skill.
