Animate is a Claude Code skill and plugin for creating short animated videos procedurally in code. It builds a self-contained canvas animation and renders it to MP4 with a headless browser and ffmpeg, using an intake flow followed by story, visual-style, and storyboard approval checks before rendering. The skill includes seven built-in styles—cut paper, crosshatch, risograph, sketchbook, math, pixel, and isometric—and can create an additional style from reference media by measuring its palette, line weight, texture, motion, and cut rhythm. It supports beat-mapped or code-composed music, narrated voice-over timing, real product screenshots, shape-morph transitions, and 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, and 16:9 outputs from one piece. The repository provides command-line tools for building, previewing, storyboarding, exporting, reviewing, comparing references, and checking rendered frames; it is distributed under the MIT license.
