What it does
- Renders a 3D animation where a phone floats on a dark studio backdrop and separates into six layers: cover glass, display, frame, logic board, battery and back.
- Draws thin leader lines from each layer to a right-hand label column, numbered 01–06 with short notes.
- You only write a
<name>.breakdown.jsonspec;build.pyrenders via WebGL in headless Chrome and returns the mp4 path. - Includes a QA loop:
--snap 1.0,3.8captures assembled and exploded frames so you can verify label placement before the full render.
Who it's for
- Marketers and creators making hardware teaser reels or short-form videos.
- Product and tech content writers who need a clean "what's inside" visual.
- Designers willing to edit
template.htmlfor other flat layered objects (tablet, laptop lid, card wallet, smartwatch).
Examples
- Run
/breakdownwith real specs ("Battery / 3,582 mAh", "OLED display / 6.3 in · 120 Hz") for a launch teaser. - Swap in dry-joke labels ("Battery / never enough") for a social clip.
- Copy
template.html, tweakPW/PL/PR,slab()andANCHORSto produce a smartwatch teardown.

Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/artemnovitckii/claude-animation-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-animation-skills/skills/breakdown ~/.claude/skills/ && cp -r claude-animation-skills/kit ~/.claude/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/artemnovitckii/claude-animation-skills.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r claude-animation-skills/skills/breakdown ~/.claude/skills/ - Copy the shared render kit:
cp -r claude-animation-skills/kit ~/.claude/ - Install prerequisites: Node.js and ffmpeg (on macOS:
