Magic Hour AI media skills

Each skill guides an agent that runs Magic Hour through its MCP or API: pick the right operation for a brief, fix the still or script before paying for motion, submit a job once, resume waiting instead of re-submitting, then inspect the saved file against the brief. This entry lists twelve video-oriented skills: a broad entry point that routes a brief to the matching tool, then image-to-video, text-to-video, character consistency and replacement, face swap, music video, talking video, footage editing, remixing a reference short, narrated explainers and an ffprobe/ffmpeg-based media review. A Magic Hour account and credits are required, though the skills themselves are free to install. The README's install-all command pulls in all 20 skills in the repository, including image, brand and product-visual ones not listed here, so install single skills by name if you only want video.

  The install command quoted from the repository README.

  $ npx skills add magichourhq/skills --skill '*'Copy

• 02skills CLI, for Claude Code, Codex and others

  The open skills CLI from Vercel Labs installs a skill from a GitHub repo into the folder each agent expects. It asks which skills and which agents you want, and it installs for the current project unless you add the -g flag, which installs for your user account. Add --list to see what a repo contains before you install anything.

  $ npx skills add magichourhq/skillsCopy

• 03Claude Code, skills folder

  Copy the skill's folder, the one that holds SKILL.md, into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every project on your machine, or into .claude/skills/ in a repository to use it there and share it by committing it. Claude Code picks up changes to these folders during a session. If the folder did not exist when the session started, run /reload-skills.

• 04Claude Code, plugin marketplace

  Some repos publish a plugin marketplace, a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json file. Add it in Claude Code, then install a plugin from it with /plugin install plugin-name@marketplace-name. Plugins can bundle hooks and MCP servers along with skills, so read the details panel before you confirm.

  $ /plugin marketplace add magichourhq/skillsCopy

• 05Codex, skills folder or $skill-installer

  Codex reads skills from .agents/skills in your working folder and its parent folders up to the repository root, and from $HOME/.agents/skills for every repository. Copy the skill's folder into one of them, or run $skill-installer inside Codex and ask it to install from the repo. Codex detects new skills automatically and needs a restart only if one does not appear.

The first command is quoted from the author's README. The others are the standard ways to install a skill from a GitHub repository. They are templates and may not apply here, for example if the repo has no plugin marketplace, so follow the README first.
