A 60-second 9:16 short about a real idol/artist. The skill is genre-abstract; the concrete artist is defined in a per-subject file (config/subjects/<id>.yaml) selected with --subject=<id>. Real subject files are kept local (gitignored); a tracked config/subjects/example.yaml is a placeholder template.
Idol Short is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the legal-compliance sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/idol-short/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the operator wants a fan-news/info short about a real artist. Because the subject is REAL PEOPLE + a trademarked group, the legal gate is the load-bearing stage — it enforces the default-safe path (synthetic narration + sourced facts + license-clean generic B-roll + on-screen text, NO member imagery / group audio / agency media) and flags any escalation.
The Idol Short Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 187,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
