# Agent skills

> Whole productions as installable recipes - UGC ads, explainers, claymation, restyles.

Source: https://advibly.com/docs/agents/skills



A skill is a production recipe an agent installs once and then runs. Where a
tool makes one clip, a skill orchestrates the MCP calls for a complete ad:
casting, script, storyboard, every shot, voiceover, score, and assembly.

Use a skill when the deliverable needs a repeatable production process. Use a
single MCP tool when the requested output is one image, clip, voiceover, or
other isolated asset.

## The catalogue [#the-catalogue]

| Skill                                              | What it produces                                                                 |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **UGC Video Ads** (`ugc-ads`)                      | One brand plus an angle becomes a finished multi-shot UGC video ad.              |
| **Static Ads** (`static-ads`)                      | One brand becomes a batch of static ad concepts across fifteen proven layouts.   |
| **Animated Explainer Videos** (`explainer-videos`) | One topic becomes a narrated animated explainer, in any of ten visual styles.    |
| **Vox Explainer Ads** (`vox-explainer`)            | One claim becomes a narrated paper-collage explainer, cut like a real short.     |
| **Claymation Ads** (`claymation-ad`)               | One product becomes a warm, narrated stop-motion clay ad.                        |
| **Pixar-Style Ads** (`pixar-style-ad`)             | A brand and product become a warm, original feature-film 3D animated ad.         |
| **Collage Motion Ads** (`collage-motion`)          | A reference decoded into an editable spec, then animated assemble-from-empty.    |
| **Stickman Animation Ads** (`stickman-animation`)  | A brand idea becomes a visually dense stick-figure video, directed clip by clip. |
| **Video Restyle** (`video-restyle`)                | One finished video becomes eleven completely different visual worlds.            |

## Installing [#installing]

<Tabs items="[&#x22;skills CLI&#x22;, &#x22;Download&#x22;, &#x22;Git&#x22;]">
  <Tab value="skills CLI">
    ```bash
    npx skills add https://github.com/advibly/skills -s ugc-ads
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab value="Download">
    Download the `.skill` bundle from the skill's page and drop it into
    **Claude → Settings → Skills**.
  </Tab>

  <Tab value="Git">
    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/advibly/skills.git
    cp -R skills/ugc-ads ~/.claude/skills/
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Replace `ugc-ads` with the catalogue slug for the production you want. Install
one skill first; add more only when the request needs a different production
path.

## What a skill needs [#what-a-skill-needs]

A skill drives the [MCP tools](/agents/tools), so the agent must be connected
to Advibly first - see [Connect over MCP](/agents/mcp). It spends credits like
any other generation. The agent should check the balance before a full
production and report the planned calls before spending credits.

## Verify and run [#verify-and-run]

After installation, start a new agent session and ask it to list the installed
Advibly skills. Then invoke the skill with one brand and one concrete outcome,
for example:

> Use the UGC ads skill to make a 20-second vertical launch ad for Acme's new
> bottle. Show me the production plan and expected billable calls before you
> generate anything.

The skill is working when the agent follows its recipe, resolves a real
`brand_id`, opens or reuses a project, and pauses at any approval gate the
recipe defines. A production is complete only when the final render is
`completed`, shared with the user, and set as the project cover.

<Callout>
  A skill supplies the process, not account access. Missing brands, credits, or
  social connections still have to be resolved through the MCP tools.

## Discovery [#discovery]

Agents can find the catalogue at
`/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json`, which follows the Agent Skills
Discovery convention.
