/pika:explainer
Generate a ~60–80s URL explainer video: drive a real browser through the URL along a beat-sheet timeline, generate an avatar lipsync of the narration, and composite it all in a 1280×800 macOS Sonoma frame with a 240-pixel inner avatar (246-pixel outer including 3px white stroke ring) at canvas (20, 476) and element-targeted zoom on every mid-section beat. Works on any URL — product pages, docs sites, blog posts, launches. GitHub URLs activate a repo-aware mode (README scan + live-demo detection); all other URLs use a generic page-walkthrough flow.
Usage:
/pika:explainer [--focus "angles"] [--avatar ] [--voice ] [--lipsync-provider pika|kling] [--preview] [--live-url ]
Behavior
Defaults — fire fast, no mid-flow confirmation
Use identity-store defaults silently for avatar / voice.
Never ask "should I use your avatar?" or "which voice?" before firing. Honor explicit overrides (
--avatar
,
--voice
) when supplied; otherwise resolve via
identity_avatar_url
/
identity_voice_id
and proceed. See Step 1 for the full resolution waterfall (including the silent fallback when identity returns null).
No mid-flow "type yes to proceed" gates by default.
Step 5 preview is
opt-in via
--preview
(for power users testing new avatar/voice combos before the long-pole render); the default flow runs end-to-end without pausing.
Do not solicit
--focus
either.
Make a confident first attempt from page structure; users re-run with
--focus "X"
if the angle missed.
These defaults match industry standard for media-gen tools (Midjourney / Sora / Runway / HeyGen / Pika.art): submit → render → return. Account credit balance + provider failover (Step 9) are the canonical guardrails.
Local avatar images on Claude Desktop
Claude Desktop can't pass inline-pasted images to MCP tools yet (Anthropic-side limitation). If the user pastes a photo inline, or mentions a local file they want as
--avatar
, pause Step 1 and kindly send them this — something like:
