Take One made this film, and the headphone ad inside it. The brand is made up. Sound on.

Install (once)

The easy way: paste this into Claude Code and it does the rest.

Install the Take One skill: clone https://github.com/talsiach/take-one into ~/.claude/skills/take-one, then run bash ~/.claude/skills/take-one/scripts/doctor.sh and tell me what is missing.

Or do it yourself in a terminal:

npx skills add talsiach/take-one -g -a claude-code
bash ~/.claude/skills/take-one/scripts/doctor.sh

The second line checks your machine and says what is missing and what each piece is for. After that, Claude Code knows the skill in every session. A plain `git clone https://github.com/talsiach/take-one ~/.claude/skills/take-one` works too.

You need Claude Code, Node 18 or later, Google Chrome and ffmpeg. So far it has been run on macOS only.
