Mobile app developers face a common problem: users often drop off at the paywall after downloading the app. Viktor Seraleev’s released Claude skill "create-onboarding-video" aims to solve this problem.

The skill works simply: developers upload a sequence of app interface screenshots, and the system automatically generates an interactive UI demo video. The video includes elements like cursor animations and click highlights to clearly showcase the app’s features.

Some netizens point out that most developers underestimate two roles of onboarding videos: building trust and clarifying features. Users need to see how the app actually works before using it, rather than learning the core features only after paying.


The traditional approach is to record screen operations, but this only showcases features and fails to teach effectively. The videos generated by this skill focus more on teaching, using enlarged cursor animations, pauses on key interfaces, and other methods to help users truly understand how to use the app.


While some question whether the automatically generated video quality is professional enough, it provides a quick solution for independent developers and small teams to create high-quality onboarding videos. The skill has been open-sourced on GitHub, and developers can use it for free.
