Everything I promised in the reels.

• Anthropic's launch video

  One comment on a chart turns into a 38 second film.

• Get started with Claude Motion

  Anthropic's help page.

• Higgsfield Katana

  A video editing tool inside Claude, built on Claude Motion.

• claude-motion-design, a free Claude Code skill

  Open source, for people without a Team plan. It makes this kind of video the same way, as code. I have not run it myself.

For now Claude Motion is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans.

Start from your own problem:

1. You keep pasting the same instructions into chat: that is a skill.
2. You keep copying data from a tab Claude can't see: that is an MCP server.
3. Something must happen every time: that is a hook.
4. You want a new panel or a button on your screen: that is a mod.

• The comparison table

  From the Claude Code docs.

• When to add what

  The longer list, also from the docs.

• claude-code-setup, Anthropic's official plugin

  It reads your project and recommends which skills, hooks and MCP servers to add. It does not cover mods.

/plugin install claude-code-setup@claude-plugins-official

recommend automations for this project

Boris Cherny created Claude Code. He does not use a prompt template. He tells Claude three things:

1. What you want it to do
2. How much effort you want it to spend
3. How it should verify that it did the right thing

A line from his own prompt, which is how he sets the effort:

Make it really good, use lots of tokens and iterate till you're proud of it.

• His post on X

  @bcherny, 6 October.

• Token Weather, from Anthropic

  A line above your prompt that shows how full your context window is.

• image-view, by Jarrod Watts

  Paste a screenshot and see a thumbnail of it. Needs a terminal that can draw images, like Ghostty or kitty.

• mission-control, by Hamza Zafar

  A live pane with every subagent, every tool call and every file your agent touches.

/plugin marketplace add jarrodwatts/claude-image-view
/plugin install image-view
/reload-plugins

Each one installs with two or three commands. The commands for the other two are in their README. You need Claude Code 2.1.287 or later.

1. Update to Claude Code v2.1.252 or later.
2. Type /skill-doctor and read the last column.
3. Open /skills and turn off the ones marked never.

The report lists every skill with what it costs, how often you use it and when you last used it. It opens in the Stats tab of the plugin manager.

• Skills in the Claude Code docs

  The official page.

• Anthropic's three example mods

  Blast Radius, Token Weather and Replay Theater. Look under claude-code/mods.

• Mods in the Claude Code docs

  What a mod can do and how it runs.

/plugin install <mod-name>@<marketplace>

claude plugin validate ./<mod-folder>

A mod is code running with your permissions, and it is not sandboxed. Only install mods from people you trust. You need Claude Code 2.1.287 or later.

npx claude-mem install

• The installer asks you to sign in to their hosted service. You can skip it and use your own Claude plan or API key.
• Anything you wrap in private tags is never stored.
• It works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot and OpenCode.

• claude-mem on GitHub

  Free and open source.
