Show HN: Open-source skills for end-to-end video ad campaigns

SuperCMO Skills, an open-source toolset released under the Apache-2.0 license, lets AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex research, plan and produce end-to-end video and image ad campaigns from a terminal or IDE. The project handles pipeline orchestration across script, image, audio and editing steps, selects models such as Veo and Seedance, and locks master reference images per shot to keep products and actors consistent; users can supply their own vendor API keys for free use or pay per-usage on SuperCMO's keys. The team says users are already applying it to UGC product ads and competitor-ad recreation, with human approval gates at the creator, story idea and script stages before rendering.

Hey there! We are building SuperCMO Skills, open source tools which allow agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) to research, plan and create video and image campaigns end-to-end right out of your terminal or IDE.

We got tired of paying for expensive AI subscriptions and wasting countless hours assembling a pipeline for just one video ad, so we created these tools for ourselves. SuperCMO integrates with your agents to provide the ability to plan, shoot, edit, and stitch complete campaigns.

We began with simple prompt wrappers but soon realized the need to rethink our entire pipeline to overcome common limitations of the AI video.

  • Pipeline Orchestration: Creating one ad now requires jumping through several apps: writing scripts in one, creating images in another, recording audio in yet another, and stitching the whole thing in an editor. SuperCMO does all of that natively. The tool knows how to choose the appropriate model (like automatically switching prompts for Veo versus Seedance) and do the whole post-production, including trimming and voiceover synchronization.

  • Consistency from Shot to Shot: In true AI video generators, products and actors continually transform from shot to shot. We solved that problem by storyboarding before rendering and locking in master reference images in every generation.

  • Directional Control: Completely automated agents often go awry creatively. So, we've developed the capabilities to take a peek at every stage of the process. You're always in control, approving the creator, the story idea, and the script before anything is expensively rendered.

People are using this today to create UGC product ads (give the agent a product photo and it chooses the creator, generates the script, and creates a ready MP4 file) or to analyze competitors' work (agent analyzes the winning advertisement from the competitor and recreates it with your product in mind).

This project will be released under an Apache-2.0 license. You can come to us with your own vendor keys to have everything done for free or to generate using our keys and just pay for each usage without any lock-in.

Thank you for your attention!
