What you get

  • A 9:16 or 16:9 MP4 of your menu on a felt letterboard or a chalkboard
  • An original beat-synced soundtrack with letter, flip and chalk sound effects
  • Letters pressed in on the beat and prices that flip or get chalked in
  • A hand-lettered daily special timed to the music's drop
  • An end card that sets your opening hours and address on the board
  • A brief checker that lists every problem at once and picks a readable length
  • A layout gate that checks text size, safe areas and focus before every render
  • Open-source licenses for every part it builds on

Good fit

  • A cafe wants a short reel of today's menu and special for Instagram and the screen by the counter.
  • A bar wants its chalkboard menu, hours and address as a 16:9 loop for the TV above the bar.
  • A bakery changes its daily special and needs a fresh vertical post each morning without a designer.

Not for

  • Long menus: more items than a viewer can read in one short film
  • Photos or footage of real dishes
  • Live digital signage that updates from a point-of-sale system
  • Long restaurant promos or brand films

About this skill

Menu Board Reel turns a cafe, restaurant or bar menu into a short film of a physical menu board drawn entirely in code. Choose a felt letterboard with moulded plastic letters or a painted chalkboard with yesterday's menu half erased. A camera reads the board up close while it is set on the beat: letters press into the grooves, prices flip like a split-flap or get chalked in, and the daily special is hand-lettered on the music's drop. The film whips back to the venue's name to set the opening hours and address. It ships in 9:16 and 16:9 with an original beat-synced soundtrack and sound effects, a layout gate for safe areas and text size, and two invented example venues.

Example request

Use the Menu Board Reel skill to make a 9:16 film of our cafe menu on a felt letterboard: our name, two sections with prices, today's special, our opening hours and our address.

FAQ

How long is the film?

apply-brief picks the shortest length in whole bars where every shot can be read, so it grows with the menu. The examples run 19.45 s and 20.79 s, and a menu that would need more than 16 bars is refused with a request to shorten it.

Can I show prices with a currency sign?

No. A letter set has digits only, so prices are plain figures like 4.50 or 12, and apply-brief refuses a currency sign. Put the currency in a house note if your customers need it.

Why is the bottom of the vertical film blurred?

The platforms' buttons cover the bottom 35% of a 9:16 frame, so text stays in the band between 14% and 65% of the height. Lines already on the board fill the rest under a 16 px lens blur, and the layout gate checks that no row is half in focus.

Which agents is Menu Board Reel written for?

Any agent that reads SKILL.md folders, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.

Do I own what I make with it?

Yes. Everything your agent makes with this skill is yours, including for client and commercial work.
