Swatch Book Launch

A warm, tactile launch built like a swatch book: a headline, the colour range, one look across photos, a moodboard, the ask.

Makes a 18 to 24 s launch film (MP4) from a set recipe. Linen paper with a woven grain, a soft serif and colour chips that drop in like fabric samples. The recipe sets the scene order, pacing, look and sizes; the person's words, screenshots and logo fill it. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when someone wants a product range in new colours or materials, a fashion or home collection, a paint or textile launch, a brand refresh with warmth.

Questions

Is Swatch Book Launch free?

No. Swatch Book Launch 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 Swatch Book Launch?

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

What do I get when I buy Swatch Book Launch?

A ZIP of the whole skill folder (79 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 Swatch Book Launch?

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 ./swatch-book-launch-film with your agent's flag.

What do I get from Swatch Book Launch?

An MP4 at 16:9, 4:5. 18 to 24 s, in 5 planned scenes. A still of every scene, checked before it renders.

What does Swatch Book Launch need?

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

How big is Swatch Book Launch?

13 files, about 57,440 tokens in all. The SKILL.md is about 2,347 tokens, and your agent reads it only when the job fits.

What does a run cost?

Our 1 runs took 2 min 48 s to 2 min 48 s and $0.55 to $0.55 of API use each, in Claude Code with claude-opus-5-5. On a Claude plan, a run counts toward your usage instead.

Do I have to name Swatch Book Launch to use it?

Type /swatch-book-launch-film first to make sure it loads. Without it, Claude Code may judge a small job simple enough to do without the skill.
