 "title": "Convert an article or document into a video",
 "page_title": "How to convert an article or document into a video with Anything2 Explainer",
 "summary": "Feed a written article or document to the skill and get a narrated video of its key ideas.",
 "who": "A team lead or writer who already has a long-form document and wants a short video version for onboarding or sharing.",
 "problem": "Rewriting a document as a script and then as video shots takes a lot of manual work, and the video often drifts from the source.",
 "outcome": "A narrated video that follows the document's ideas, with the research doc keeping sources for each claim.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the skill as in the topic-to-video use case: `ln -s \"$PWD/anything2explainer\" ~/.claude/skills/anything2explainer`",
  "Pick the target length and language at checkpoint 1, matching the length table in the README.",
  "Ask the agent to base the narration on your document, then review the narration at checkpoint 2 before any voiceover is generated.",
  "Check the first 30 seconds at checkpoint 4 to confirm the look before the full build."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the anything2explainer skill in this repo, turn the document at <path-to-document> into a narrated explainer video in <language>, about <length> long. Pause at the narration sign-off so I can edit the script. Verify that the narration covers the main points of the document and that the output is an MP4 with subtitles and chapter progress.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "3 hours",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the skill accepts an article or document as input, but it does not say how long a source it can handle, so check the narration against the original before sign-off.",
