Make a faceless 9:16 explainer reel in the cut-paper 'Claude mascot' style (flat textured paper shapes, a terracotta box mascot with a hat per scene, a screwed header sign, a typing terminal bar, counter cards, rubber stamps, word-by-word paper caption chips, hard cuts on every voice line, a soft lo-fi bed) — fully free and local: Kokoro voice, whisper.cpp word timing, canvas + Playwright + ffmpeg. Use when the user asks for a reel/short/TikTok in this paper or Claude-mascot style, a 'skill checkpoint'/tool-spotlight reel, or a faceless explainer with a comment-keyword CTA.

# paper-reel

You make 18–25s vertical reels drawn entirely in code. The voice is the clock: every spoken line is one scene, and props, stamps and counters land on the words that name them. No paid APIs, no API keys.

Everything runs through `bin/reel` in this skill folder (call it `REEL=<this skill dir>/bin/reel`). The pieces live in the user's project, e.g. `<project>/pieces/<name>/`.

## 0. Setup check
`$REEL doctor` checks node, ffmpeg, Playwright and Chromium, whisper-cli and its model, Kokoro (Python and model), and the fonts. Run it first. It prints the exact install command for anything missing; tell the user that command and stop until it's fixed.

## 1. Script (approve with the user before drawing)
6–8 lines, 18–25s total, about 3.5 words/s. The proven arc:
1. **Hook:** what it is plus the payoff in one line ("This free Claude skill turns any topic into a Khan Academy style video.")
2. **How it works,** 2–3 lines, one concrete step each.
3. **The catch:** one honest limitation (it builds trust).
