7 Claude Skills for Creative Teams

Every install command, every API key, every skill file — for research, writing, voice consistency, video, audio, ad intelligence, and persistent memory.

By the end of this guide you'll have Claude installed, all 7 skills ready to call, and a real production system covering research, writing, voice consistency, video, audio, ad intelligence, and persistent memory.

Quick rule: if you've never opened a terminal and don't want to start, use Claude Desktop. It covers ~95% of this guide with a friendlier interface.

Skill 1 — Remotion Video
1

/remotion-video

Generates a finished MP4 from a script or brief. Text animations, transitions, brand colours. Best for data viz, text-heavy reels, templated formats.

Free / Open Source
Needs Desktop or Code
~500MB disk

Setup: Node.js (from Step 1). The skill bootstraps a Remotion project the first time you use it.

⚠️ Honest note: Remotion produces basic editing. Treat it as a starting point — add your voiceover, captions, sound effects, and b-roll on top. AI handles the structure, you handle the soul.

Skill 2 — Competitor Ads Extractor
2

/competitive-ads-extractor

Pulls every active Meta and LinkedIn ad your competitors are running. Diffs week-over-week (new, scaling, killed) and extracts hook patterns and offer structures.

Setup: Sign up at apify.com → copy Personal API token → add Apify MCP server to Claude → create competitors.json with brand URLs.

{ "name": "BrandA", "facebook_page_url": "https://facebook.com/branda" }

Skill 3 — Deep Research
3

/deep-research

Takes a topic. Runs multiple web searches, reads top sources, returns one tight brief with executive summary, cited findings, gaps, and 5 ready-to-film content angles. Real URLs, no hallucinations.

Tavily free: 1,000 credits/mo

Setup: Sign up at tavily.com → copy API key → add TAVILY_API_KEY to your Claude environment.

Skill 4 — Voice DNA ⭐ Install First
4

/voice-dna

Reads 10–20 samples of your writing and extracts the specific signals that make your voice yours. Saves a reusable profile that every other content skill reads.

Completely Free
All platforms
⭐ Install this one first. Every other skill on this list works better with it.

No APIs, no keys. Runs entirely on Claude. Full SKILL.md: View on Notion →

Skill 5 — ElevenLabs Podcast
5

/elevenlabs-podcast

Paste a long-form piece. Claude writes a two-host conversation, calls ElevenLabs to voice each line, stitches the audio with ffmpeg. You get an 8–12 minute podcast episode without recording.

ElevenLabs free: 10k credits (1 test ep)

Setup: elevenlabs.io → Profile → API Keys → Create → add ELEVENLABS_API_KEY to Claude env. Install ffmpeg (Mac: brew install ffmpeg).

Skill 6 — Content Engine
6

/content-engine

Takes one pillar piece. Produces 8 platform-ready formats in one pass: LinkedIn post, X thread, Instagram caption, email newsletter, short-form video script, blog intro, pull-quote carousel, cold outreach. Reads your Voice DNA profile so every format sounds like you.

Completely Free
Requires Voice DNA first

Skill 7 — Supermemory (The One from the Reel)
7

Supermemory

Saves everything you tell Claude across sessions and quietly reinjects the relevant bits next time. You stop re-explaining your business, voice, and decisions every session. A long-term notebook Claude reads before answering.

Free: 1M tokens, 10k queries/mo

Setup: supermemory.ai → console.supermemory.ai/keys → Create key → add MCP server to Claude settings.

"supermemory": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "install-mcp", "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer sm_your_key_here"] }

Verify: Tell Claude "Remember my brand voice is warm and approachable." Close session. Open new session. Ask "What's my brand voice?" — it should pull it back.

No SKILL.md needed — Supermemory works as an MCP server, not a skill.


The Full Chain — Maya's Workflow

Say you're Maya, a marketing consultant publishing across 4 platforms a week:

1
/voice-dna once at the start to lock in your voice profile
2
/deep-research [topic] for the brief on what you're posting about that week
3
/content-engine [brief] to spin out 8 platform formats, all in your voice
4
/elevenlabs-podcast [article] to turn the long-form version into a podcast
5
/remotion-video [script] to render a video version of the short-form script
6
/competitor-ads-extractor weekly to see what's working in your niche
7
Supermemory humming in the background, keeping context alive across every session
💰 Total monthly cost at solo creator volume: ~$80–$120 in API/tool fees (mostly ElevenLabs Creator + Apify Starter). Everything else is free or included in your Claude plan.
