Nested Workspace

Boxes open inside each other, from the whole workspace down to one task.

$9.99once, yours to keep

Adds nested boxes to a talking-head video that open one inside another as they are said: a workspace, a team, a project, a task. 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 a tool, a folder structure or an organisation is laid out.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, when I list what we tried, show it as nested boxes beside me, so I stay in view: our team of 12, then one shared board, then written updates on Friday, then a 15-minute call only when something is stuck.

It said back

I rendered the video with the nested boxes beside you: talk-graphics.mp4, in the same folder as talk.mp4. It is 1920x1080, 30 fps and 24.3 s. The render's own file check passed, and the layout check on three frames showed no warnings. I did not open the one-frame-a-second contact sheet it saved (talk-graphics-sheet.png).

The boxes sit in a panel on the right, so you stay in view on the left the whole time. They open one inside another from 4.9 s to 17.6 s, tied to your words:

Questions

Is Nested Workspace free?

No. Nested Workspace 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 Nested Workspace?

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

What do I get when I buy Nested Workspace?

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 Nested Workspace?

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 ./nested-workspace-overlay with your agent's flag.

What do I get from Nested Workspace?

Your video with the overlay timed to the words, sound kept. Each part lands as they say it, placed from the transcript. 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5.

What does Nested Workspace need?

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

How big is Nested Workspace?

13 files, about 79,840 tokens in all. The SKILL.md is about 2,177 tokens, and your agent reads it only when the job fits.

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 1 min 39 s to 1 min 39 s and $0.12 to $0.12 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 Nested Workspace to use it?

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