khan-explainer is a free, open-source (MIT) Claude Code skill. You describe the video, Claude writes a scene file, and one command renders an MP4 where a pen draws on a blackboard or whiteboard while a voice explains it.

Here's what it makes, how to install it, what to ask Claude for, and the catches.

What it makes

  • Blackboard lesson: a diagram drawn stroke by stroke while the voice explains it.
  • Draw-over-UI tutorial: arrows, circles and numbered steps drawn over your own product screenshots.
  • Real-audio clip: a YouTube video or podcast in, vertical shorts out, with the board drawn to the speaker's words.
  • The voice drives the clock, so the pen never runs ahead of the words.
  • Chalk on a blackboard or marker on a whiteboard, landscape or vertical.
