About this Skill

You say

/text-message-story Make a text-message video where a friend asks how I post five videos a day and I say my agent renders them.

A phone-style chat fills the frame. The other person's messages arrive after a typing indicator, yours pop in, and the thread scrolls as it grows. An optional caption lands as the punchline.

How it works

  1. Brief — your agent asks only for what's missing: the contact name, five to eight short messages (who says what), and an optional caption.
  2. Copy — it writes the text and shows it to you before rendering.
  3. Validate — a checker flags missing fields, long lines and low contrast.
  4. Render — a draft in seconds, then MP4 in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 from the same file, on your own machine.

Tips

  • Keep each message under 12 words; real texts are short.
  • Put the hook in the first message and the payoff in the last.
  • Never present a made-up chat as a real customer conversation.
