Install in Claude Code, Codex and Grok with one command." url: https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/huashu-art-motion updated: 2026-11-01 --- # Huashu Art Motion by Huashu — workflow skill for animation & motion graphics > **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q="` returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page. From a terminal: `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh` installs the vargai CLI (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli.md): `vargai search` and `vargai install ` with no key, every varg model after `vargai login`. Paintings that move: 35+ art styles and 9 explainer grammars as code, BPM-synced music, a QA subagent before delivery. - **Type:** [Workflow](https://varg.ai/how-to/workflows.md) · [Animation & motion graphics](https://varg.ai/how-to/browse/skills/animation.md) - **Slug:** `huashu-art-motion` - **Status:** beta - **Publisher:** Huashu (alchaincyf) (community) - **License:** MIT - **Source:** https://github.com/alchaincyf/huashu-art-motion - **Works in:** Claude Code, Codex - **Requires:** uv (Python), ffmpeg, Playwright Chromium - **Cost:** Free, MIT: renders locally; optional cloud TTS (Volcengine) is billed by that provider - **Adoption:** 5,855 GitHub stars (GitHub, 2026-10-31) ## What it does A coding-agent skill that writes art styles as moving pictures: 53 style recipe cards (36 built, from cave painting, Egyptian murals, Van Gogh and Monet to Bauhaus, ink wash and 8-bit) each with scene code, motif motions and a signature transition, plus 9 explainer grammars (Kurzgesagt, Vox, whiteboard, 3Blue1Brown, storytime, kinetic type, keynote, finance charts) rendered as frame-exact clips from a JSON spec. It can break down and recreate a reference animation, synthesizes music on a BPM grid in code, and before delivery runs a QA script and an independent subagent that watches only the finished film; the delivery script blocks static, slide-like results. People come from image-model frames composited in code. The skill's docs are in Chinese (an English README exists): tell the agent to talk to you in English. About 5.9k GitHub stars; the remake prompt on X saved 3.7k times. ## Use when - an animated short or explainer in a named art style - a narrated explainer segment in a known YouTube grammar - a journey through famous paintings - recreating a reference animation's motion and timing in code ## Not for - Readers who need English docs inside the skill: SKILL.md and most references are Chinese ## Install - Claude Code: `npx skills add alchaincyf/huashu-art-motion` - Any agent, with the vargai CLI: `vargai install huashu-art-motion` ## Example output https://s3.varg.ai/files/4325c578-378d-4c43-ae53-3cc3218df1ea/file_a9132ad7da71.mp4 — Monet's Japanese Bridge drawn in code: the character skips a stone and the pond ripples. The full 3.6 s loop, GIF re-encoded to MP4.
