Every time I created new products my focus always went first (wrongly) to building instead to distributing and helping others to use what I created.

After building my thing and having all the excitement of seeing the new toy working, the promotional and communication part always felt more like an obligation, and most of the times was neglected. I always struggled to create manuals, videos, support content, etc.

So I open sourced a skill for Claude Code that helps in that last part. With some instructions and this skill, you can create product demo videos. With professional voice overs, and subtitles in different languages. Combining the browser and the terminal. Everything controlled from your AI. For example, the clip in this post was made with it.

It's not going to do distribution for you, but it's a start ;)

Your example video features the narrator getting cut off: https://youtu.be/H6npd3uuqls?t=11

Yes, this feels like the worst part for me as a software engineer. It doesn't help that many communities have rules against self promotion. If I spent N hours building a tool for myself[0], I don't want to spend another Nx hours where x is some multiple to share it with others while dodging self-promotion accusations. Luckily HN is much more lenient about this than reddit communities or lobsters, which are also great in their own ways.

Good idea, but the demo video needs some work. The music is too loud and distracting especially with that 4 on the floor kick drum, and it sounds like there's some aggressive sidechain compression to make room for the narration.

That's great, really. i do many small tools for the enterprise, and i know first hand that you cannot assume they will read the docs or know where to click.

From an outside perspective, the issue is that you're still trying to engineer what should be a psychology tweak

Well I am sold on it, based on this reasoning. Thanks!
