Could you build this?

Partial The orchestration (a Claude Code skill, script generation, a critic agent, and the YouTube Shorts output format) is vibe-codeable, but generating good animated 2D characters in a 3D Blender scene requires real animation and rendering craft that a prompt-driven builder will struggle to get right.

What it would actually take: Build it as a Claude Code skill that drives Blender through its Python API, with a TTS voice track, a storyboard or script step, and an ffmpeg assembly stage. The hard parts are character rigging and animation quality, which need an artist or a tested asset library, and a critic loop that can judge visual output reliably. Expect a 3D/animation generalist to tune the pipeline.
