The shellbot-video-generator is a professional-grade AI video production agent designed to programmatically construct high-impact motion graphics videos using the Remotion framework. Unlike basic slideshow creators, this skill generates sophisticated, coded animations that leverage React to ensure fluid, high-quality output. It integrates seamlessly with Firecrawl for automated brand intelligence gathering, allowing the agent to pull logos, color palettes, and product imagery from any URL to ensure all creative assets match the target brand identity perfectly.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cohnen/shellbot-video-generator
Ensure you have your FIRECRAWL_API_KEY defined in your environment variables before initiating your first video project, as this is required for the automated asset scraping functionality.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for technical creators and marketers needing to scale video content. Use it to:
- Generate product explainer videos for SaaS platforms.
- Create high-quality social media advertisements with precise motion graphics.
- Build programmatic motion graphics for recurring data reporting or analytics summaries.
- Produce cinematic-style promotional content for websites or product launches.
- Automate the creation of series-based video content using consistent template structures.
Example Prompts
- "I need a 30-second promotional video for our new project management tool. Use the brand assets from https://example-saas.com and ensure the video follows the AIDA framework to drive signups."
- "Create an animated explainer for our latest API update. Focus on the developer benefits and end with a clear CTA to check out our documentation."
- "Scrape https://mystartup.com and build a motion graphics video highlighting our top three features. I want to preview it via Cloudflare before rendering the final MP4."
Tips & Limitations
- Follow the AIDA arc (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) to maximize viewer retention.
- Always initialize projects from the provided local templates to maintain structural integrity.
- Use the Cloudflare tunnel feature to iterate quickly; do not render to MP4 until you are satisfied with the browser preview.
- The skill requires a stable internet connection for asset scraping and dependency installation via npm.

Use Freepik only for ancillary assets (for example Nano Banana 2 stills, Kling inserts/transitions, and ElevenLabs voiceover/music), while core storytelling, timing, and final assembly stay in Remotion code.
