What it does
Drop a reference ad plus your product or app assets into one of five template folders (talking head, product unboxing, faceless lifestyle, app promo, extend and stitch); Claude Code analyzes the reference, checks the active provider's capabilities, writes an adapted prompt and runs generation after you approve it. Providers are JSON specs swapped with one line in .env, and the skill refuses cleanly when a provider cannot do what was asked. Arcads is the default and the only provider verified end to end; Dreamina and Runway specs still have TODOs. Needs Python 3.8+ and an API key for at least one provider; based on the reference-analysis logic of claude-arcads.
Use when
