LOOKING FOR /MOTION?

Is there a /motion command in Claude?

Not in the Claude app: Anthropic's Motion starts from a chat or the Artifacts tab. In Claude Code, the Claude Motion skill gives you a real command, /claudemotion.

From $19.9/mo · Works with Claude Code & Codex · Independent, not affiliated with Anthropic

A paid Creator or Studio subscription is required. There is no Free plan.

  • Ask for an animation in any chat
  • Or Output → Motion in the message box
  • Or a Motion template in Artifacts

  • Type /claudemotion in Claude Code
  • Or just ask: "make this into motion"
  • Your agent builds it on your computer

RUNS ON YOUR OWN CLAUDE CODE OR CODEX · BUILT ON HYPERFRAMES · MP4 + INTERACTIVE WEB

How Anthropic's Motion actually starts

Anthropic's help article lists three ways in, and none of them is a slash command. Typing /motion in a Claude chat does nothing special: it is read as plain text.

  • Ask in a chat

    For example "turn this quarterly report into a 30-second explainer".

  • Output → Motion

    Select Output in the message box and choose Motion.

  • Artifacts tab

    Pick a Motion template, then describe the animation.

Checked against Anthropic's help article “Get started with Claude Motion” on Oct 24, 2026. It is a beta for Team and Enterprise plans; on Enterprise an owner turns it on in Organization settings → Artifacts.

Can't find Motion?

If Motion is missing

  1. 01Your plan is Team or Enterprise. Free, Pro and Max do not have it.
  2. 02On Enterprise, an owner has switched Motion on.
  3. 03Artifacts are enabled for your workspace.
  4. 04You are looking at Output → Motion, not the slash menu.

The /claudemotion command in Claude Code

Our installer puts the Claude Motion skill in ~/.claude/skills (Claude Code) and/or ~/.agents/skills (Codex), whichever you have. In Claude Code every installed skill is also a slash command, so /claudemotion starts the workflow. You can skip the command and ask in plain words; the agent loads the skill on its own.

  • Claude Code

    Type /claudemotion, then paste or attach your doc, deck, notes or idea.

  • Codex

    Ask "make this into motion", or mention the claudemotion skill by name.

  • Terminal

    npx -y claudemotion@latest doctor checks Node, HyperFrames, Chrome, ffmpeg and your plan.

Your questions, answered

Is /motion a Claude slash command?

No. Anthropic's help article starts Motion from a chat request, Output → Motion, or a Motion template in the Artifacts tab. There is no /motion command in the Claude app.

Why does /claudemotion work in my Claude Code?

Claude Code turns every installed skill into a slash command. After you install Claude Motion, its main skill is called claudemotion, so /claudemotion starts it.

Do I need the command at all?

No. Saying "make this into motion" or "animate this deck" loads the same skill. The command is a shortcut.

Does /claudemotion give me Anthropic’s Motion on Pro or Max?

No. It runs Claude Motion, an independent product, on your own Claude Code or Codex. Anthropic's Motion stays a Team and Enterprise feature.

Does it work without a subscription?

Reading your source and browsing styles work for any connected account. Creating, rendering, voiceover and sharing need a Creator or Studio plan.

Skip the missing /motion. Type /claudemotion.
