Skill catalog
A skill is a playbook Claude follows for one task family — how to rig a comp to data, how to write an expression, how to debug why a render looks wrong — not a plugin you install separately. Every skill below installs automatically with Valet (macOS), landing in your own ~/.claude/skills— and Valet never overwrites a skill you’ve edited yourself. See what the agent itself needs, or see these skills in action across the three agent workflows.
Lets Claude drive the DataDriver panel directly — rigging layers to data columns, loading data sources, applying layouts, and running batch operations without you clicking through the UI yourself.
"Rig the Lower Third comp to the leaderboard.csv columns and load the first 10 rows."
Lets Claude write After Effects expressions from a plain-language description and verify them against the curve you actually want before committing them to a layer.
"Make this layer wiggle its position by 20px whenever the audio track is above -12dB."
Lets Claude learn an existing After Effects comp and turn it into a reusable, driven component in your component library.
"Decompile the Intro Card comp into a component so I can reuse it in the new season."
Lets Claude decide which properties of a just-captured component should become drivable slots, so the component can be rigged to data later.
"This captured Scoreboard component has 12 properties — which of them should be drivable slots?"
Lets Claude see what is actually happening inside your project — rendering frames, snapshotting comp state, and evaluating expressions — and verify a fix before claiming it worked, instead of guessing from a description of the problem.
"Render frame 90 of the Lower Third comp and tell me why the text looks clipped."
