What they did
A creator made 40 anime episodes for Instagram in two weeks with the same characters, and their top episodes reached 651K, 546K and 346K views. They turned the workflow into an open-source agent skill for Claude Code or Codex. A series file keeps the cast, art style and voices consistent, the agent pitches three hooks first, writes a shot-by-shot script, quotes the generation cost and waits for a yes, makes one test clip before the rest, then edits, checks and writes the cover and caption. It logs each episode's views to rank future premises.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
We're making a short animated series for [platform]. The series bible is in series.json: cast, art style, voices, locations and running gags, and nothing in an episode may contradict it. For the next episode, pitch 3 premises with a strong hook in the first seconds and recommend one. After I pick, write a shot-by-shot script with timings and camera for each shot. Before generating anything, tell me how many clips, how many seconds and the estimated credit cost, and wait for my yes. Make clip 1 first for me to check, then the rest. Finish with the edit, a cover and a caption, and log the episode so I can add its view count later.
