AI Music Video Maker

Build a short AI music video from a song theme — keyframes, animation, and matching music. Needs a MuAPI key.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/muapi-music-video-samuraigpt/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

What this skill does

Music Video

Build a short music video from a song theme — N keyframes, animate each, generate matching music.

Inputs

NameTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
themetextyesSong / video theme (e.g. "lonely robot finds a friend, hopeful").
scenesintno3Number of scenes (each becomes a 5s clip).
music_styletextnoambient cinematic, instrumental, slow tempo, warmSuno-style tags for the soundtrack.
visual_styletextnocinematic, photoreal, soft volumetric light, 16:9

Steps

Build one the plan covering:

  1. Layer A (parallel) — N keyframes + 1 music track all at once.
    • For each scene 1..N: muapi image generate with a beat-specific prompt + {{visual_style}}, model=nano-banana-pro (these feed video gen).
    • One muapi audio create (kind=music) using {{music_style}}, duration = N × 5 + a 2s tail.
  2. Layer B (parallel, depends on Layer A) — animate each keyframe.
    • For each scene: muapi video from-image with image=$nX.url, model=veo3.1-image-to-video, duration=5, prompt=scene-specific motion direction.
  3. Return:
    • The scene keyframes (asset ids in order).
    • The animation clips (asset ids in order).
    • The music track asset id.
    • A short summary describing the cut order.

Notes

  • Keep character continuity by repeating the character description in every scene prompt verbatim.
  • Don't auto-confirm any single video call > 50 cr — those need the user's nod (the loop will prompt automatically).
  • If a scene's muapi video from-image fails after failover, fall back to muapi video generate (text-to-video) for that scene only.

Trigger Keywords

music video, mv, video story, song visualization


Notes for the Executing Agent

  • This recipe is LLM-orchestrated: read each phase, gather any missing inputs from the user, then call muapi CLI commands. Use muapi auth configure first if MUAPI_API_KEY is unset.
  • For model IDs without a CLI alias yet, fall back to the raw endpoint via curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/<endpoint> -H "x-api-key: $MUAPI_API_KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{...}' and poll with muapi predict wait <request_id>.
  • Substitute {{input_name}} placeholders with the user's actual inputs before issuing each call.
