▸ THE FULL BUILD
BUILD AN ENTIRE CREATIVE STUDIO INSIDE CLAUDE
Seven tools. One Claude. Five cost nothing, one has a free tier that covers the fun part, and the whole stack installs in about 20 minutes. Every link below is live and every command is copy-paste ready. Start with the one that pays off fastest for you, then bolt on the rest.
5 FREE
1 FREE TIER
20 MIN SETUP
START HERE · ONE-TIME SETUP
Do this once. Two minutes. Most tools install as a Claude "skill" or an "MCP server".
Claude Code or Claude Desktop · claude.com/product/claude-code
Node 18+ · nodejs.org
uv, the tiny installer some tools use:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
A SKILL lives at ~/.claude/skills//SKILL.md and Claude auto-loads it. An MCP SERVER is added with a single claude mcp add command.
THE SEVEN
1
REMOTION
Motion graphics & explainer videos
Make real MP4 videos in code. You describe the explainer, Claude writes the React composition, Remotion renders it. No timeline editing.
npx create-video@latest
cd your-project && npm run dev
npx remotion render out/video.mp4
PROMPT ▸ "Build a 1080x1920 30fps Remotion composition: a title card, three bullets sliding in with spring(), and a bar chart driven by this JSON." Tip: paste any Remotion doc URL with .md on the end so Claude reads the real API.
FREE for individuals & small teams
2
COMPETITOR ADS EXTRACTOR
Live competitor hooks, angles, CTAs
See every ad your competitors are running right now. Full copy, hooks, CTAs, creative, and start dates. Built on Meta's own public data.
The free way (manual)
Open facebook.com/ads/library, set Country, choose "All ads", type the competitor's page name, open Active ads. Copy 5 to 10, paste into Claude: "Extract the hook formula, angle, offer and CTA pattern across these, then write me 10 variants in their winning pattern."
The automated way (Apify actor)
curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apify~facebook-ads-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"urls":[{"url":"https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=active&ad_type=all&country=GB&q=COMPETITOR&media_type=all"}],"count":50}'
Get your token under Apify Settings then Integrations. Pipe the JSON into Claude: "Cluster these 50 live ads by angle, extract the recurring hooks, give me 10 variants."

3
DEEP RESEARCH
Multi-step research agent, real citations
Runs structured research in the background. Outline, live web investigation, then a cited report with numbered sources. Uses Claude's own web search, so no extra API keys.

cd Deep-Research-skills
cp -r skills/research-en/* ~/.claude/skills/
cp agents/web-search-agent.md ~/.claude/agents/
cp -r agents/web-search-modules ~/.claude/agents/
pip install pyyaml
Or one-line plugin install:
/plugin marketplace add daymade/claude-code-skills
/plugin install deep-research
RUN ▸ /research "your topic" then /research-deep then /research-report. You get a markdown report with numbered citations.

VOICE DNA
Make Claude write in your voice
No install. It's a method. Reverse-engineer your writing into a reusable profile so every future draft sounds like you, not generic AI. Paste 3 to 5 of your most authentically-you samples with this prompt:
COPY THIS PROMPT
You are a forensic writing analyst. Below are 3 to 5 samples of MY writing. Do NOT summarize them. Reverse-engineer my voice into a reusable VOICE PROFILE I can paste into any future chat. Output these sections: 1) Sentence rhythm & length. 2) Vocabulary & diction (signature words, words I never use, formality, jargon). 3) Tone & attitude, with evidence. 4) Structure habits (how I open, transition, close). 5) Punctuation & formatting tics. Then give me the finished VOICE PROFILE as a single block I can reuse.
Save the output. Paste it at the top of any drafting request. Re-run every few months with fresh samples. For extra polish, save it as a Claude Style.

CONTENT RESEARCH WRITER
Research, copy & fact-check in one
One skill that researches a topic with live web search, drafts the copy, and fact-checks every claim with cited sources. The full content pipeline.

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/master/content-research-writer/SKILL.md \

Power it with free web search (DuckDuckGo MCP):
claude mcp add ddg-search uvx duckduckgo-mcp-server
RUN ▸ "Research and write an article about X with citations." It runs outline, live research, draft, per-section feedback, citation list, then a pre-publish source check.
