SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Producing stop-motion style animation with AI tools often results in inconsistent materials, overly smooth motion, and realistic effects that break the handcrafted illusion. This Skill turns a topic or story into a finished stop-motion film while enforcing the physical rules of the chosen material tradition across every shot. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four material profiles: Choose between clay (claymation), gunpla (Gundam model kits), figure (PVC figures/nendoroids), and brick (building-block) styles, each with its own visual DNA, prompt vocabulary, and negative prompts. - Full production pipeline: Routes into the Kinema workflow covering project setup, storyboards, bilingual shot prompts, voice casting, sound effects, and review-retake cycles with a shared fix-it dictionary. - Stop-motion motion grammar: Enforces choppy frame-by-frame movement, wind-up/action/hold beats, and prop-based effects (cotton smoke, brick-built fire) so the output reads as real stop motion. - Use Case: A creator wants a short video of a Gundam-style mecha battle on a desktop diorama; the Skill locks the gunpla profile, generates battle-damaged model shots with panel lining, and produces a dubbed film with choppy stop-motion movement. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to make a stop-motion animation about your story or topic using the kn-clay skill, optionally naming a material style such as clay, gunpla, figure, or brick.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make a stop-motion animation with AI from a story idea?▼

Invoke the skill with your topic or story, and it routes into the full production pipeline covering project setup, storyboards, shot prompts, voice, and final assembly. You pick one of four material styles, and the style is locked into every generated image for consistency.

What stop-motion styles does this skill support?▼

Four material profiles are available: clay (claymation with fingerprint texture), gunpla (Gundam model kits with panel lining and battle damage), figure (PVC figures and nendoroids with visible ball joints), and brick (building-block worlds where even fire and water are brick pieces).

How do I choose between clay, gunpla, figure, and brick profiles?▼

If you name a style directly, that profile is used. Otherwise the skill recommends clay as the general default and asks for one confirmation before project creation. You can later switch styles with the project style-prompt setting and regenerate.

Why does my AI stop-motion video look too smooth or like CGI?▼

Smooth motion breaks the stop-motion illusion. The skill requires every video prompt to specify choppy frame-by-frame movement with held poses, and its retake dictionary provides fixes such as strengthening material texture cues and removing CG rendering artifacts.

When should I not use this stop-motion skill?▼

Use kn-storybook for watercolor bedtime picture-book videos, kn-anime for 3D cartoon or Pixar-style films, and kn-miniature for real tilt-shift miniature footage. This skill is specifically for toy and handcrafted-material stop motion.
