Adds two devices to a talking-head video joined by a link, with what passes between them travelling across and the second screen lighting up when it arrives. 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 explains how two devices work together (a doorbell and a phone, a till and a kitchen screen).

After the download, ask your agent to add it, or run the line yourself.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4 link a laptop sending the Friday update to a phone.

It said back

I rendered the video with a laptop sending the Friday update to a phone: talk-graphics.mp4 in the work folder (1920×1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps, 11 MB). I checked the layout with no warnings and looked at the check frame, but I haven't watched the full rendered video.

  • Beat: it starts at 11.2 s as she says "Written updates on Friday" and runs about 5 s (to 16.2 s). It covers the frame while she keeps talking.
  • Devices: a laptop labelled "Team", showing "Friday update", sends an "Update" across the link to a phone labelled "Everyone". The phone's screen lights up with "Written update" when it arrives.
  • Look: paper (warm off-white, black type, tomato accent). I set her face position to [50, 28] from the face-check frame.
  • Sound: her original audio is unchanged.
  • Wording: the text on the devices comes from her words ("Written updates on Friday"). I didn't add a reply going back, because she doesn't mention one.

Questions

Is Device Role Link free?

No. Device Role Link 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 Device Role Link?

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

What do I get when I buy Device Role Link?

A ZIP of the whole skill folder (105 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 Device Role Link?

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 ./device-link-overlay with your agent's flag.

What do I get from Device Role Link?

Your video with the overlay timed to the words, sound kept. Two devices sit apart, each with its role. 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5.

What does Device Role Link need?

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

How big is Device Role Link?

13 files, about 79,945 tokens in all. The SKILL.md is about 2,283 tokens, and your agent reads it only when the job fits.

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 1 min 35 s to 1 min 35 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 Device Role Link to use it?

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