Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
TL;DR

This skill enables the creation of local-first whiteboard and story videos from text scripts, SVGs, or image assets. It automates the transition from color storyboards to line art and manages the composition of stroke-based drawing animations.

Author’s example

Turn an image into a short whiteboard animation

Uses whiteboard-video

  • An image supplied or made locally accessible to Codex
  • The separately installed whiteboard-video-engine
  • At least one supported local neural line-art model; the skill states that render-photo must fail when neither Informative Drawings nor Anime2Sketch is installed
  • Replace /Users/you in the sample Skill link with the actual user home path if it differs
[$whiteboard-video](/Users/you/.codex/skills/whiteboard-video/SKILL.md)
Convert this image into a 15-second whiteboard animation with rich stroke detail and the asian hand cursor.
