SuperCMO Skills

Enable AI agents to create marketing videos and images

Open-source skills that empower any AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Hermes, etc.) to generate end-to-end marketing campaigns - UGC videos, ad videos, product photography and more.

Just provide a product photo and a brief. The agent extracts the product details, selects the optimal AI image and video models, casts AI actors, and edits the generated content into finished, campaign-ready assets. It can produce videos of any length while maintaining perfect actor and product consistency.

The open-source alternative to closed AI marketing agents.

Quick start

Paste this to your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …):

Run `npx --yes github:SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --all`. Tell me whether it succeeded, then follow the next steps it prints to set up a key.

Prefer to run it yourself:

npx --yes github:SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --all   # every detected host

Prefer a preview before spending? Every generation supports dry_run — the exact request and cost, no API call.

Start from a product photo

Starting from your product is faster than describing a video from a blank prompt.

Hand SuperCMO a single product photo and it builds a UGC ad around it - a creator on camera reviewing, unboxing, trying on, or demoing your product:

1. Upload a product photo and give a short brief

2. It analyzes the product, picks the format, casts the creator, and writes the script. Then shows you the concept and waits for your approval before spending a cent

3. Once approved, it generates the storyboards, renders each clip, stitches them together, and hands back the finished video

"Make a 30-second unboxing UGC ad for this product." [attach product photo]

What you get back is not a random clip. You get:

• You stay in charge - approve the creator, the concept, and the script before anything renders, and change any part along the way.

• Consistency built in - maintains the same actor and product across every clip, through the storyboard and anchor references

• A finished, scroll-stopping video - delivered at the length you asked for, ready to post

Works inside Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Hermes - any agent that supports the Agent Skills spec.

Why SuperCMO Skills?

How the skills work together

You act as the creative director, and your agent uses SuperCMO skills to orchestrate the entire production pipeline.

Here is an example of how the skills chain together behind the scenes to execute a complex brief like: "Make a 1-minute video ad for this product [URL] with a voiceover."

[Brief] "Make a 1-minute video ad for this product [URL] with a voiceover."
   │
   ├── 1. Analyze ──> Scrapes the URL to understand the product and fetch product images.
   │
   ├── 2. Plan    ──> Breaks the 60s brief into four 15-second shots.
   │                  Writes the script and shot list.
   │
   ├── 3. Image  ──> Generates master reference images of the product 
   │                 using the best image models.
   │
   ├── 4. Video  ──> Generates the 4 video clips. Locks the anchor reference 
   │                  into every shot so the product doesn't shape-shift.
   │
   ├── 5. Audio   ──> Adds a voiceover, budgeting the script to match the 
   │                  exact length of the video.
   │
   └── 6. Stitch  ──> Stitches the finished clips together to create one 
                      continuous 1-minute video file.

The Marketing Production Pipeline

SuperCMO installs a full creative agency into your text-based agent. It doesn't just generate media; it orchestrates the specific steps required to make high-converting ads:

• Product Analysis - Scrapes your URLs to extract brand guidelines, materials, and features so the AI models don't hallucinate your product.

• Ad Copy & Scripting - Breaks the brief into a shot-by-shot ad script tailored for platforms like Meta, TikTok, or YouTube.

• Visual Generation - Produces master reference images and locks them as anchors so your product looks consistent in every video frame.

• Audio & Voiceover - Generates natural, high-energy voiceovers paced perfectly to your video duration.

• Post-Production - Trims footage, syncs audio, and stitches the final MP4.

These are the discrete skills installed into your agent to run that pipeline:

Install

Every host loads the same skills + the same local MCP server - only the wiring differs. Prerequisite: uv on PATH — the MCP server runs via uvx, which provisions Python and the server for you (nothing to pip install). The root pyproject.toml / package.json are packaging scaffolding — you don't build anything by hand to run or contribute to the skills.

npx installer - registers the MCP server via each host's own mechanism (codex/claude mcp add where a CLI exists; a .cursor/mcp.json for Cursor) and places the skills. One command does every detected host:

npx --yes github:SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --claude               # Claude Code
npx --yes github:SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --cursor --project-dir .  # Cursor (per project)
npx --yes github:SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --codex                # Codex
npx --yes github:SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --all                  # every detected host

If the SuperCMO tools don't show up in your agent afterward, restart it once.

Claude Code plugin - an alternative to npx … --claude (use one, not both): the whole repo installs as one plugin, managed by Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills
/plugin install supercmo@superCMO-skills

Codex plugin - an alternative to npx … --codex (use one, not both): installs the skills + MCP server as one plugin, managed by Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills
codex plugin add supercmo@superCMO-skills

Claude Cowork / Claude desktop - download supercmo-plugin.zip from the latest release, then Settings → Plugins → Upload local plugin.

Found us on skills.sh? npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills copies the skills but not the MCP server they call — so image_generate/video_generate won't exist yet. Install the server, then reload your agent:

npx --yes github:SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --all   # or --cursor --project-dir . · --codex · --all

Set up a key

Generation needs a key. Two ways — pick one:

Option A · Managed — one command

Generate on SuperCMO's keys, pay per use — no vendor signups, nothing to paste.

npx --yes github:SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills login

Opens SuperCMO in your browser to sign in and authorize this device; the key is written to ~/.supercmo/.env automatically. Buy credits in the web app when you're ready.

Option B · Bring your own keys — free

Bring your own vendor keys — requests go directly to the model vendor; nothing routes through SuperCMO.

One file, every host. The installer creates ~/.supercmo/.env; the MCP server loads your keys from there on any host (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …). Open it and add a key:

# ~/.supercmo/.env
WAVESPEED_API_KEY=your-key # image + video (start here) — https://wavespeed.ai
FAL_KEY=                   # image + video (alternative) — https://fal.ai
ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=        # voiceover (optional)        — https://elevenlabs.io
GEMINI_API_KEY=            # image/video analysis (opt.) — https://aistudio.google.com
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=         # url extraction (optional)   — https://firecrawl.dev

• One key to start: WAVESPEED_API_KEY covers image + video and is what we recommend — users report better reliability there. FAL_KEY is fully supported too and serves the same models, so use it if that's the account you already have. With both set, WaveSpeed is used; SUPERCMO_MEDIA_PROVIDER=fal picks the other. The rest are optional — add one when you want that capability (voiceover, analysis, extraction).

• Prefer environment variables? Exporting the key (or putting it in your host's MCP config env block) also works and takes precedence — ~/.supercmo/.env is just the reliable default that also works for GUI-launched hosts that don't inherit your shell.

• Check what's set: ask your agent to run the setup_status tool (host-agnostic, no path needed).

Security & trust

These skills run inside your agent. Exactly what happens:

• Open source & inspectable. Every skill, script, and the MCP server lives in this repo under Apache-2.0 — read, diff, or pin before you run it.

• Your keys stay local (BYOK). With your own vendor keys, they live in ~/.supercmo/.env (or your host's MCP config env / your shell); the server reads them from its process environment and requests go directly to the vendor — nothing routes through SuperCMO. With the managed key, requests go to SuperCMO's proxy (billed to your credits) — you never hand us a vendor key.

• The MCP server is local + minimal. A stdlib-only Python package (supercmo-skills on PyPI, source in scripts/supercmo_skills/mcp/), fetched and run on demand via uvx supercmo-skills@<version> — it runs on your machine, launched by your host, and starts only when your host enables the plugin.

• Dry-run everything. Generation tools support dry_run - a free preview of the exact request (keys masked), no API call.

Telemetry

SuperCMO sends anonymous, opt-out usage counts from the MCP server so we can see which tools get used and prioritize. Full details in TELEMETRY.md.

• What we send: the tool name, whether it succeeded, how long it took, versions (OS / Python / SuperCMO), and a random install id. Nothing else.

• What we NEVER send: your prompts, tool arguments, generated media, file paths, keys, hostname, username, or IP address.

• Turn it off (any one): SUPERCMO_TELEMETRY=false, DO_NOT_TRACK=1, or DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1. It also honors Claude Code's CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC.

• See what would be sent: run with SUPERCMO_TELEMETRY=log - prints each payload instead of sending.

• Events go to our own endpoint (api.getsupercmo.ai), never a third-party analytics host. The random install id is never linked to any account.

Contributing

New skills and improvements welcome - see CONTRIBUTING.md. In short:

1. Create skills/<your-skill>/ (folder name = the name in frontmatter), using skills/generating-images/ as the reference layout.

2. Keep SKILL.md short; push detail into references/, deterministic work into scripts/ (stdlib-only where possible, BYO-keys from env, --dry-run on anything that mutates).

3. Validate - CI runs the same on every PR:

python3 scripts/quick_validate.py       # structural + strict-YAML frontmatter (blocking)
python3 scripts/listing_gate.py         # scripts compile + --dry-run gates (blocking)
python3 scripts/check_shared_client.py  # no raw vendor HTTP - the brokering seam (blocking)
python3 scripts/check_catalog_sync.py   # provider-key catalog single-sourced (blocking)
