Create Animated Cartoons with AI: Cartoonsmith Skill

The Cartoonsmith Skill enables the creation of animated cartoon episodes featuring recurring, voiced characters. It utilizes free, local tools to transform user-generated character sheets into lip-synced talking rigs within animated scenes. This skill acts as an add-on to the existing make-video skill and operates locally on macOS, specifically optimized for Apple Silicon.

What this skill does

• Compiles a series bible, which includes characters, voices, and scene sets.
• Converts character sheets into talking rigs with busts and eight lip-sync mouth shapes.
• Generates a multi-character script, complete with simple shot directions, voices, lip-sync integration using Rhubarb, captions, music, and rendering via Remotion.
• Implements an automatic quality assurance gate for final output validation.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and teams utilizing AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It is particularly beneficial for those involved in creating animated series, episodes, skits, or stories with recurring or talking characters.

Use cases

• Creating cartoon episodes featuring consistent, animated characters.
• Rigging characters for lip-sync in animated productions.

Technical details

• Leverages the make-video skill to set up projects and reuses its tools for voice, captions, music, rendering, and quality assurance.
• Follows the `AGENTS.md` project guidelines for animation purity and folder layout.
• Initial setup requires the make-video project, which includes an approximate 6 GB download.
• Compatible with local execution on macOS systems, particularly favoring Apple Silicon processors.
