Use it from Claude Code
The Showreel Studio plugin gives Claude Code skills that write, record and fix films with you, on your own Claude plan.
In Claude Code, you can ask for a film in plain words and Claude runs the steps with you. Writing the storyboard happens on your own Claude plan, so nothing is charged by Showreel Studio for it.
Before you start
- The plugin is installed (see Install Showreel Studio).
- Start Claude Code in your project folder.
The skills
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
showreel-make | The whole run: storyboard, voice, recording, build, repair and outputs. |
showreel-new | Asks you about the film and writes the storyboard. |
showreel-driver | Looks at each screen and writes the code that operates the app, then records. |
showreel-repair | Judges the frames against what each line should show, fixes what broke and records only that again. |
showreel-deck | Makes a deck from a plan or brief, built to HTML and PDF. |
Ask for what you want ("make a film of the new sharing feature for Sales") and Claude picks the skill.
How writing works in Claude Code
When a showreel command needs something written (a storyboard, a deck, words for an audience) inside a Claude Code session, it does not use an API key. It saves the request as a file in .showreel/writes/, says where the answer goes and what to run next, and stops. Claude writes the answer, runs the command again with --answer and --pending, and Showreel Studio checks the answer and carries on as if it had written it. Claude does this for you; you only see it happen.
The local UI and the web app cannot hand writing to Claude Code, so they use your organisation's own Claude API key, or Gemini on your Google Cloud. See Who writes the storyboard.
