I replaced my entire content team with Claude Code
A live demo of seven chained Claude Code skills that handle gap analysis, ideation, hooks, titles, thumbnails, repurposing, and performance tracking — for under $1 per cycle.
June 4thA 12-minute live build: one Claude Code skill turns any YouTube video into three platform-ready shorts with AI avatar, B-roll, and auto-scheduling.
A single Claude Code skill can repurpose any long-form YouTube video into three psychologically distinct short-form clips with AI avatar narration, auto-generated B-roll, and scheduled publishing across every major platform, without filming a second piece of content.
Shortify takes a YouTube URL and runs a seven-stage pipeline: mines the transcript for the strongest moments, generates three distinct clip angles (proof, contrarian, transformation), writes hooks from a proven vault, clones the host via HeyGen, assembles B-roll from screen capture first and AI images only when necessary, burns karaoke captions, writes platform-specific copy, and schedules via Blotato. The final 51-second clip was produced while the host was recording this tutorial.

Hook and promise: one long-form video becomes three scheduled shorts without additional filming.

Diagrams the 4-layer structure: screencap top, avatar bottom, karaoke captions center, text hook first 3-6s.

Pastes a YouTube URL into Shortify, selects Opus 4.8, confirms one angle for demo.

Prompt walkthrough: timestamped transcript in, moments file with angle shapes out.

Proof / Contrarian / Transformation -- same footage, three psychologically distinct entry points.

Hook vault rule: never invent a shape, only swap variables. Three hook layers: spoken, visual, text.

Lead with result, name the pain removed, name the specific feature, stay under 30 seconds.

Prompts Google AI Studio for a DSLR-style reference photo, iterates until the result passes.

HeyGen account setup, avatar creation, passing avatar look ID to Claude.

Screencap is the hero; AI-generated art fills gaps only when screencap is insufficient.

Blotato queues each angle staggered by days; per-platform captions written automatically.

Plays back the 51-second clip produced by the system during this tutorial.

CTA: Skool Claude Code Club in description ($9).
The system treats transcript mining, angle selection, hook writing, avatar rendering, B-roll planning, and scheduling as separate deterministic stages -- each with its own prompt -- so the whole pipeline can run without creative decisions at execution time.
“Claude Code can now take a long YouTube video and turn it into shorts in just a couple of minutes.”
“The whole video lives or dies in one second.”
“Every hook is created from a vault of patterns that have already proven they stop a scroll.”
“Your product is the star. Most AI shorts fail here, drowning the screen in generated art that means nothing.”
“This is the worst it's ever going to be.”
See every word as it's spoken — crank it to 2× and still catch all of it. The same dual-channel trick behind Amazon's Kindle + Audible.
Give Claude Code a YouTube link, walk away, and come back to three scheduled short-form clips with an AI avatar delivering the script -- that is the promise this tutorial delivers on in real time, building the system live while explaining every prompt that drives it.
The visual architecture every short-form clip in this system follows.
Three psychologically distinct entry points for the same content so the audience can be served three times without feeling redundant.
Collect proven hook patterns from high-performing creators in your niche. Never invent a new shape. Swap only the variables: tool name, number, or outcome.
A structured prompt turning a timestamped transcript into a moments file: timestamp range, single idea, angle shape, scroll-stop reason.
“If you wanna get access to this skill and all the prompts already built for you, just check the link in the description.”
Clean and brief -- mentioned twice without interrupting the tutorial flow.
