# Hand-drawn explainer

Explain an idea with simple hand-drawn line art that animates.

Slash command: `/faceless-hand-drawn` (Claude Code: `/mcp__clipspeed__faceless-hand-drawn`). Server: `https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp` (one URL for clipping and creation).

## How a person asks

```
Explain how compound interest works in a 10-second hand-drawn line-art animation. No people.
```

What to have ready: The idea, and one picture that explains it.

## What to do

1. Work out what they want. If the request is vague, use `assist_prompt` (free) to write or tighten it.
2. Call `estimate_cost` (free) and tell them the credits (e.g. "This costs 9 credits. Make it?").
3. Wait for a clear yes in the chat. Never spend without it.
4. Run it, then report the result with its link in one line.

Tools: `assist_prompt`, `estimate_cost`, `generate_video`, `wait_for_generation`.

- `assist_prompt`: free prompt help: write, fix or pick a model
- `estimate_cost`: free: the exact credits before anything runs
- `generate_video`: make the video (only after the person says yes)
- `wait_for_generation`: wait for a generation to finish and return its link

## Spending rules

- Credits are shown before anything runs, and the AI asks before it spends; their per-generation max and daily cap (set in Settings, not changeable by the AI) hold either way.
- The person sets a per-generation maximum and a daily MCP credit cap in ClipSpeed (Subscription & Credits). If a request is over either, say so and point them to https://www.clipspeed.ai/app/?tab=account. Never split a job to get under a cap.
- Clipping is 2 credits per minute of source video; live clipping is 1 credit per minute watched. Plans: Starter 300, Pro 600, Ultra 1,500 credits a month.
