habile-media — Claude Code plugin marketplace

A small marketplace that distributes documentary-builder: a Claude Code plugin for building narrated documentary videos locally and for free from your own field footage and photographs.

Install (for people you share this with)

In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add dshrestha977/documentary-builder-plugin
/plugin install documentary-builder@habile-media

• The first command registers this marketplace (point it at the GitHub repo where you host this folder, e.g. deependra/documentary-builder-plugin). A local path also works: /plugin marketplace add ./documentary-builder-plugin.
• The second installs the plugin. It adds the documentary-builder skill and the /documentary command.

Then, one-time on the user's machine (fetches ffmpeg + the Kokoro voice model):

pip install -r <plugin>/skills/documentary-builder/requirements.txt
python <plugin>/skills/documentary-builder/scripts/setup.py

What it does

/documentary (or just asking Claude to "build a documentary from my footage and photos") runs a config-driven, fully local pipeline:

• Kokoro natural free voice-over (Apache-2.0) with phonetic respelling so non-English place names are pronounced correctly while captions keep the proper spelling.
• Real field footage normalized to 720p (blurred-fill for portrait clips).
• Ken Burns motion clips from your photographs (montage interludes + featured stills), curated via auto-generated contact sheets.
• Title / chapter / outro cards, burned captions, and a ducked field-ambience bed.
• Verify-by-frames quality gates (the agent can't watch video, so it checks extracted frames).

No paid APIs, no cloud render credits. See plugins/documentary-builder/skills/documentary-builder/SKILL.md for the full playbook and config/project.example.json for a complete runnable example.
