compose-creator-layer

Composite a generated creator track into a product layer, per beat — in the creator's zone on split beats (either side of a seam), full frame on creator beats, hidden on product beats — with the creator's voice as the audio (loudness -14 LUFS) and an optional ducked music bed, or a music-only or silent master for voiceless formats. Free, local ffmpeg. Pairs with footage-cutlist (the layer) and create-creator-takes-h3 (the creator). Use for split-screen (with an optional zoom and brand-colour seam bar), screen-insert and any creator-over-product format.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
4 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by gooseworks-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Compose Creator Layer AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/gooseworks-ai/goose-skills/tree/main/skills/ads/capabilities/compose-creator-layer
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/gooseworks-ai/goose-skills.git /tmp/goose-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/goose-skills/skills/ads/capabilities/compose-creator-layer .claude/skills/compose-creator-layer

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Compose Creator Layer in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Compose Creator Layer on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Compose Creator Layer is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

compose-creator-layer

Run

bash
python compose.py --layer layer.mp4 --beats cutlist.aligned.json --creator creator.mp4 \
    --out reel.mp4 [--music bed.mp3 --music-db -20] [--head 0.30] \
    [--zoom 1.15] [--divider '#RRGGBB' --divider-px 4]

--layer: footage-cutlist cut.py output rendered from the same cut list as --beats (re-render it after align_beats.py). --draft layers are refused.
--creator: create-creator-takes-h3 join_takes.py output, reel time from 0.
--audio creator|music|none: the voice (+ ducked --music), the --music bed alone (voiceless paid ads), or a silent master (organic posts: the track is added in-platform at upload, which is licensed for organic use only).
The creator track may be shorter than the reel (a 2.3s reaction hook): it only shows during its own creator beats.
--head: where the crop sits vertically when the creator is scaled to cover an area (0 keeps the top, 0.5 centres). 0.30 keeps the head in the upper third.

Split screen

The split-screen creator look (product on top, the creator talking below) is this atom with split beats; it replaces render-split-screen-creator.

The product zone comes from the layer: in the footage-cutlist cut list set the seam (even, about 52% of the height for product on top) and creator_side: "bottom", fit each 16:9 product clip by width, and set bg: "blur" so the margins are a darkened blur of the same clip, never black bars. Window each clip to the moment that proves its line; never loop a short clip.
The creator zone: --zoom 1.15 to 1.2 with --head pushes a webcam-distance take in to head and shoulders. Tune it by eye against the reference; a re-run is free. Zoom cannot rescue a take shot too close, so the creator still should be a candid medium shot (chest up, real room), not a plain-background headshot.
The seam: --divider '#RRGGBB' draws a brand-colour bar centred on the seam (default 4 px, even) on split beats only.
Audio: the creator's voice is the whole bed; leave out --music for this look.

Rules

Crop from the take's real size, never a hard-coded height. A hard-coded 1080 once cropped the top half of an upscaled take and blew it up.
No grade. Chasing a saturation or warmth reading was tried twice and both looked wrong. The take goes in as generated.
The voice leads. A music bed is ducked under the voice (sidechain); the mix is normalised to -14 LUFS.
Captions come after this (caption-burn, transcribed from this output).

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Compose Creator Layer AI skill do?

Why use Compose Creator Layer on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Compose Creator Layer is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Compose Creator Layer in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/gooseworks-ai/goose-skills/tree/main/skills/ads/capabilities/compose-creator-layer. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Compose Creator Layer?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Compose Creator Layer?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Compose Creator Layer with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Compose Creator Layer AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by gooseworks-ai under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
