Step-by-step: install the tools, set up a Remotion project, and build a complete Claude Code skill that turns a one-line idea into a rendered vertical MP4 — the foundation for a full AI video studio.

Build the tiktok-script skill: a JSON contract, a craft reference that teaches Claude how short-form scripts work, a validator that enforces pacing and structure, and a generated shooting guide with cue cards.

Build the tiktok-video skill: six stages from preflight to render, Whisper word timing with script-correct spelling, silence-based jump cuts, a typed props contract and a Remotion composition with animated subtitles.

Build the ai-story skill: a fable becomes a narrated, illustrated video generated entirely on a Mac — per-line TTS for exact subtitles, consistent characters from a local image model, and an approval gate before the slow part.

Build the votri-script skill: teach Claude deadpan comedy, revise the script with you in chat, print it as a performance-ready PDF with headless Chrome, and plug it into the editing pipeline with an adapter.

A practical guide: get a script with /tiktok-script, film one clip per scene following the shooting guide, and let /tiktok-video edit it into a finished vertical video — plus fine-tuning cuts and fixing common problems.

A single 8-millicore pod was pinning down an entire node. Here's why Cluster Autoscaler can't fix that, and how Karpenter's continuous consolidation cuts node count by bin-packing workloads instead of just scaling at the edges.

A self-hosted vector database generated 7 incidents in 3 months, including a 43-hour outage and a failed disaster-recovery restore. The real lesson wasn't 'self-hosting is bad' — it was what we skipped to make it look cheap.

How we classified 7 production incidents into transport, job-design, and config buckets before migrating a multi-tenant processing pipeline off Redis Streams — and why only 3 of them actually justified the move to SQS.

A practical guide to narrated, illustrated story videos made on your Mac: one-time setup, reviewing the script before the long drawing step, redrawing single pictures, choosing voices and styles, and reading the warnings.

A practical guide: turn a saying or pickup line into a deadpan comedy script, revise it in chat, print the PDF, perform with a straight face, and let the editor add the music cut, sound effects and snap zoom automatically.

Speech recognition gets Vietnamese accents wrong, and a misspelled subtitle is the most visible mistake a video can have. Use Whisper only for timestamps, align them to the script with Needleman–Wunsch, and render TikTok-style word captions in Remotion.

A deep dive into the checkpoint, blob, and write-ahead-log tables that let a stateful LLM agent survive a crash mid-execution and resume exactly where it left off, instead of replaying history from scratch.

No spreadsheet parser covers every real-world file. Here's a four-rung fallback chain — deterministic parsing, LLM-assisted repair, sandboxed LLM-generated code, and vision models — with a validation gate between every rung.

A field guide to structuring a production RAG platform as two independent planes — an async, throughput-bound ingest plane and a sync, latency-bound query plane — and why collapsing them causes failures that are hard to diagnose.
