Claude Code anima-spec for an animation scene brief

Use a short interview to define the cast, beats, dialogue, camera and style before drafting a scene specification.

Install in Claude Code

Open an anima project in Claude Code and have its existing assets available. The project’s anima CLI is needed for validation after approval.

Review `.claude/skills/anima-spec/SKILL.md` and its requirements at the pinned GitHub commit.
Create `.claude/skills/anima-spec/` in your project and save the reviewed file as `.claude/skills/anima-spec/SKILL.md`.
Start Claude Code from that project's root, then select `/anima-spec` in the slash menu.

Example task

Scene scene-18 shows a potted plant blooming at a window in the morning. The target is 35 seconds, a static camera, and no dialogue. The asset library has a Morning Window background.

What to check

Draft {durationSeconds: 35, camera: 'static', dialogue: false, background: 'Morning Window'} for approval before saving scene.md.
