</div>
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@picsartThen ask "Show me what Picsart can do.": the plugin signs you in to Picsart and shows your credits.
On other agents
| Agent | Install |
|---|---|
| OpenClaw | openclaw plugins install picsart --marketplace https://github.com/PicsArt/gen-ai-skills: the skills and the Picsart MCP server as one bundle. |
| Codex, Cursor and any agent that reads skills | npx skills add PicsArt/gen-ai-skills (or gh skill install PicsArt/gen-ai-skills), then add the MCP server below. |
| Hermes | hermes skills tap add PicsArt/gen-ai-skills |
Every command, the ./setup script and how to update are in INSTALL.md.
<details> <summary><b>Connect the MCP server directly</b> (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, or a skills-only install)</summary>
<br>
Without the plugin, add a custom connector (or an MCP server) with this URL, and sign in with your Picsart account when it asks:
https://api.picsart.com/gen-ai/mcpIts name in .mcp.json is picsart. The plugin does this step for you.

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 marketWith 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.
| Use case | Starter prompt |
|---|---|
get-started | Show me what Picsart can do. |
generate-media | Make an image, a video or audio from my prompt. |
movie-producer | Make a short film from my story. |
make-short-drama | Make a short drama series from my idea. |
animate-design | Animate my design into a short motion video. |
make-screen-videos | Turn my screen recording into short how-to videos. |
recreate-video | Recreate this reference video with my own photos and text. |
cut-footage-into-reel | Cut my footage into a 30-second vertical reel. |
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.
