One-liner: Awesome Opus 5.5 Videos is a growing collection of viral videos made with Claude Opus 5.5, each one paired with the prompt the creator shared — 703 prompts in total, every entry linking to the creator’s original post, and 418 of them with a live remake on the companion Skillry site.

The star count is from the GitHub API on 2026-10-27. The prompt count, remake count and update dates are from the README. The README’s outbound links to skillry.dev carry utm_source=github tracking parameters, which matters for anyone deciding whether to follow them.
What it is
This is an awesome-list for a specific format: videos that people made by asking Claude Opus 5.5 to write animation as code (HTML, Canvas, SVG, Three.js and friends). Each entry pairs a viral original with the prompt that produced it — or, where no prompt was published, with the creator’s original post. The collection is updated regularly and curates 100 remade videos on the front page, one per distinct prompt.
The range of formats inside the vault is wide: explainer animations, 3D scenes, games, kinetic typography and motion graphics all show up, and the update notes keep the mix honest (the 2026-10-12 update, for example, added “mostly explainers and 3d scenes”). Because the list links every entry to the creator’s original post, it also works as a discovery feed for who is making what in the code-rendered-video wave, not just as a prompt dump.
Because every video was code-rendered, “remaking” one is cheap: pick a prompt, run it with your own agent, and you get a live version you can compare against the original. That is the collection’s core loop, and it is also what makes data/videos.json genuinely useful — it is machine-readable, so you can filter prompts by platform of origin or format.
Transparency note
The repo’s homepage and most CTAs point to Skillry (skillry.dev/ai-videos/opus-5-5), a commercial product that hosts the remakes side by side with the originals. The links carry tracking parameters (utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme), so the project effectively drives traffic to that product. This page treats the GitHub repository as the free, MIT-licensed resource and Skillry as a separate commercial service — no pricing claims are made about it here.
Install & run
- Open
prompts/in the repo (ordata/videos.jsonfor a machine-readable index). - Pick a video style and copy its prompt.
- Run it with your coding agent to produce a live remake in the browser.
- Optionally submit your own entry by linking the original post and its prompt.
Price & license
The repository itself is free and MIT-licensed, with no paid tier described in the README. The companion Skillry site is a separate commercial product and is out of scope for this page’s pricing facts.
Alternatives
- Lemo-Opuscar — 59 curated styles, each with a demo film and prompt; a kit rather than a raw vault.
- mg-styles-15 — 15 polished motion-design styles with full source.
- pdoom-video — one deep, fully documented project: a complete code-rendered music video.
- Video-model generators (Sora, Veo, Runway, Kling) — paid, diffusion-based, and not code-rendered; this collection’s whole premise is the opposite (deterministic, auditable, free).
