Show HN: An agent-skill to generate preview, AppStore screenshots and campaigns

Developer imshaikot released app-preview-craft, an open-source agent skill that generates App Store and Play Store promotional visuals, social cards, and device videos using ThreeJS, headless Chromium, ffmpeg, and Node.js. The skill offers 10 App Store/Play Store themes, 7 social card themes, 7 screen video themes, 9 device video themes, and 7 device mockup themes, and installs via Claude Code's plugin marketplace or by cloning the repository into ~/.claude/skills or ~/.agents/skills for Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Amp, and Goose. The author says the plugin has been accepted by Anthropic's community plugin directory but is not yet listed, and requires Node.js, ffmpeg, and Chromium as prerequisites.
