Picsart Video gives your AI agent a creative studio. Describe what you want, and the agent plans it with you, shows you a preview, and makes it with Picsart's AI models and editing tools. You need a Picsart account, and every paid step is quoted before anything is charged.

Install the plugin

Tip

The Picsart plugin is the recommended way to install. One install brings every skill below and connects the Picsart MCP server for you: nothing else to set up.

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin marketplace add PicsArt/gen-ai-skills
/plugin install picsart@picsart

Then ask "Show me what Picsart can do.": the plugin signs you in to Picsart and shows your credits.

Codex

codex plugin marketplace add PicsArt/gen-ai-skills
codex plugin add picsart@picsart

Or open /plugins inside Codex and install picsart from the Picsart marketplace. Like the Claude Code plugin, it brings every skill and connects the Picsart MCP server.

Cursor, Copilot and other agents

npx skills add PicsArt/gen-ai-skills

The skills CLI detects your agent (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, Antigravity and over 70 more) and installs every skill. gh skill install PicsArt/gen-ai-skills works the same way. Then add the Picsart MCP server below.

Every command (OpenClaw and Hermes included), the ./setup script and how to update are in INSTALL.md.

What you can make

Direct your own AI movie Pick a genre. Call action. You’re the director. A short film from your story, with recurring characters and one look. Make a short film from my story. /picsart:movie-producer [story idea or script]	Micro dramas, made to binge Your series, cast and cliffhangers, episode by episode. A vertical drama series, pilot or episode with a recurring cast. Make a short drama series from my idea. /picsart:make-short-drama [series idea or the next episode]
Design that moves Turn text and logos into scroll-stopping loops. A Figma design or your own images, photos and logos become a motion-designed ad or reel. Animate my design into a short motion video. /picsart:animate-design [Figma link, design or assets]	Tutorials from your screen Lessons, how-to shorts and promos from one recording. A screen recording of your app or website becomes a step-by-step tutorial or a vertical promo. Turn my screen recording into short how-to videos. /picsart:make-screen-videos [screen recording and the video you want]
Same edit. Your footage. Copy a video’s cuts, timing and motion, then drop in your own photos and text. A reference video rebuilt as an editable scene that moves and looks like it. Recreate this reference video with my own photos and text. /picsart:recreate-video [reference video, your photos and text]	Drop footage. Get a reel. Beat-synced cuts, transitions and music, done for you. An interview, podcast, vlog or clips cut into a tight vertical short, with captions and music if you want them. Cut my footage into a 30-second vertical reel. /picsart:cut-footage-into-reel [your footage and the length you want]

And everyday edits

Ask in your own words: generate-media and the Picsart tools handle these directly.

Create and edit videos Create and edit videos with a prompt.	Create and edit images Restyle, cut out the background, or put it anywhere.	Bring your cartoon to life Dream up a character. Watch it bounce, blink and wave.
Captions that pop Auto-captions in bold styles, timed to every word.	One video, every size Reframe for vertical, square or wide. The subject stays in frame.	Speak every language Natural voiceovers and lip-synced dubs.

Start a use case

In Claude Code, type the use case's command and your brief:

/picsart:make-short-drama a heist series set in a night market

With the plugin the commands are namespaced (/picsart:…); a skills-only install names them without the prefix (/make-short-drama).

Everywhere else, open with the use case's starter prompt and add your brief. The agent picks the right use case from it.

A use case loads other skills by name (every one reads picsart-video-rules first), so install the whole plugin rather than a single use case.

Each skill lives in its own directory under skills/. The directory name is the install name. The directory holds a SKILL.md that follows the open Agent Skills specification: YAML frontmatter with name and description, then the instructions. The plugin manifests connect the MCP server through .mcp.json.
