Adds a 2x2 with named quadrants to a talking-head video: items drop in as named and the one they pick is stressed in the accent. 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 sorts things into four groups and points at the one to act on.

About this skill

You say

In talk.mp4, when I say only when something is stuck, sort our status topics into four quadrants and stress the blockers: Blockers (API outage), Decisions (pick a vendor), News (new hire starts), FYI (office move). These are my own numbers and words, put them on screen as they are.

It said back

I rendered talk-graphics.mp4 (1920×1080, 24.3 s, 30 fps) in the work folder. The sound is yours and unchanged. I checked a still frame of the settled graphic but haven't watched the rendered video.

The beat is a 2×2 that covers the frame from 15.7 s to 21.7 s. It starts as you say "only when something is stuck", and the picture stays on screen for 6 seconds. All four items appear together at that cue, not one by one as you name them. You don't name them in this clip, so I timed the whole graphic to that phrase.

Questions

Is Quadrant Focus free?

Which agents can use Quadrant Focus?

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

What do I get when I buy Quadrant Focus?

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 Quadrant Focus?

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 ./quadrant-focus-overlay with your agent's flag.

What do I get from Quadrant Focus?

Your video with the overlay timed to the words, sound kept. Each quadrant carries a name (do now, plan, hand off, drop). 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5.

What does Quadrant Focus need?

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

How big is Quadrant Focus?

13 files, about 79,942 tokens in all. The SKILL.md is about 2,280 tokens, and your agent reads it only when the job fits.

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 1 min 50 s to 1 min 50 s and $0.19 to $0.19 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 Quadrant Focus to use it?

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