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.

Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

Claude Code with a local studio

Installs: Installs the what-if-animation skill and copies its Remotion studio into ./what-if-studio. · Claude Code

Before you start
  • Claude Code
  • Node 18 or newer
  • ffmpeg and ffprobe on PATH
  • Python 3.9+ with numpy and Pillow
  • An ElevenLabs API key available as ELEVENLABS_API_KEY in the environment or a .env file above the studio

Run from: ./what-if-studio

  1. In a terminal, start from the directory where you want what-if-studio created. Run this complete block to clone the skill, copy the studio, enter it, and install its dependencies.

    git clone https://github.com/kelano86/what-if-animation ~/.claude/skills/what-if-animation
    cp -r ~/.claude/skills/what-if-animation/studio ./what-if-studio
    cd what-if-studio && npm install
  2. Open Claude Code from the resulting what-if-studio folder and request an episode there.

Give it something to do.

Suggested first task

Create a first episode storyboard

Uses what-if-animation

  • A topic premise; the prompt supplies a starter premise that you can replace.
  • A configured studio with its dependencies installed.
  • ELEVENLABS_API_KEY available through the environment or a .env file above the studio.
Use what-if-animation to write the script and create a storyboard for a 15–25 second episode about this premise: what if you could pause everyone but you? Use original characters and a sourced fact for the science beat. Self-check the storyboard and show it to me, then stop before animation. Report any ElevenLabs credits used.
