Ink
A free Claude skill for faceless kinetic-typography reels
A first-person voiceover told in minimal kinetic typography. Every spoken beat gets its own slide, and every slide lands on its key word at the moment the voice says it. No footage and no face: just type, a few line drawings and a voice.

What it makes
- Slides that flip about every two seconds between black, charcoal and cream
- One giant word, number or line drawing per beat, landing on the word as it's said
- A word-by-word caption with the key word boxed
- A small "Edited by Claude" header with a progress line
- One ElevenLabs voice, sound effects and a music bed
Best for: Faceless explainers, hot takes and announcements: anything you can say in 100 to 170 words.
What you need
- Node 22 or newer
- Chrome or Edge
- ffmpeg
- An ElevenLabs API key (the free plan works to try it)
35 to 60 seconds · 100 to 170 spoken words · A preview mode builds the whole video before you spend any voice credits
How to use it
- Morphy: it's built in. Open Settings → Community → Library.md and add Ink to a chat in one click.
- Claude Code: save the file as
~/.claude/skills/ink/SKILL.md, with the reference frames beside it asreference.jpg, then ask for a video or run/ink. - Codex or any other agent: add it as a skill, or attach the file to your first message.
Your first video
Make a 45-second ink reel about why I moved all my notes into plain text files.
The agent checks your setup, writes the script, makes the voice, renders a few stills to check and then every frame, and hands you the MP4. Posting it is up to you.
Questions
- Is the Ink format really free?
- Yes. Download the .md file: no account, no email, no paywall. Use it for as many videos as you like.
- What do the voices cost?
- The voice comes from ElevenLabs. Its free plan is enough to try the format (about 10,000 credits a month, roughly one per character of script). Posting videos that promote anything needs a paid plan for the commercial licence, from $6 a month.
- Does it work with Codex too?
- Yes. It's a standard SKILL.md, the skill format Claude Code and Codex both read, and Morphy has it built in. Any other agent that can run code can follow it if you attach the file.
- Do I have to label the video as AI?
- On Instagram, a reel narrated by a realistic AI voice needs Meta's AI info label; switch it on when you post. On YouTube and TikTok, check the AI disclosure setting when the content looks realistic.
