Clash — AI Video Production

Clash is a canvas-based platform for AI video production. You interact with it through the clash CLI which syncs in real-time with the web app via CRDT.

Run clash -h or clash <command> -h for full option details on any command.

Install / Update This Skill

Install through the skills npm package:

npx skills add clash-space/clash --skill clash

For non-interactive Codex installs:

npx skills add clash-space/clash --skill clash -a codex -y

Pin the GitHub source to a release tag when reproducibility matters.

CLI Compatibility

This skill expects clash >=0.1.3 <0.2.0.

clash --version
npm view clash version

If the local CLI is too old, upgrade it before using canvas commands:

npm install -g clash@latest

Quick Start

# Verify auth
clash auth status

# List projects
clash projects list --json

# Open canvas with persistent connection (recommended)
clash canvas connect --project <id>

# Work with nodes...
clash canvas list --project <id> --json
clash canvas add --project <id> --type text --label "My Scene" --content "..." --json

# Disconnect when done (auto-exits after 10min idle)
clash canvas disconnect --project <id>

Core Concepts

Projects contain a canvas with nodes. Nodes are the building blocks:

Type	Purpose
text	Content — scripts, prompts, style guides
group	Container — organizes related nodes
image_gen / video_gen	Generation trigger — creates images or videos
image / video	Asset — holds generated media

Text nodes in a group provide context for generation nodes in the same group.

Daemon Mode

Always start with canvas connect for multi-command sessions. This keeps a persistent WebSocket connection and avoids reconnecting on every command:

clash canvas connect --project <id>
# All subsequent canvas commands use the daemon — zero overhead
clash canvas disconnect --project <id>  # or just let it auto-exit

Typical Workflow

1. Create or select a project
2. Connect to the canvas
3. Build structure — groups + text nodes
4. Generate — add image_gen/video_gen nodes or execute existing ones
5. Review — list nodes, check statuses
6. Disconnect
