Show why nine is not prime
Use a concept video when a visual comparison will help more than a recording. Review the finished video in ngram. This example teaches the rule; it does not show a product screen.
Start in Cursor with the change you need to explain. Give ngram an approved summary, specify the viewer and review the quote. Open the resulting project to check what the video shows before sharing it.
- Install the local plugin — Use the public Cursor package and sign in to ngram.
- Keep control of the brief — Choose which details from the change to send.
- Review the result — Return to the same job and check the finished project.

Remove internal IDs and paste only the detail that customers need. Open the result and check the label against the shipped export. Share after the release owner approves.
How it works
From a change summary to a video in Cursor
This setup uses the public local plugin. You can follow it without finding a marketplace listing.
01
Install the Cursor plugin
Download the public repository. Copy the contents of cursor-plugin, including its hidden .cursor-plugin directory, into ~/.cursor/plugins/local/ngram. Reload the window. If local plugins are restricted, ask the workspace administrator to allow this installation.
02
Connect the account
Open Customize → Plugins and select the local ngram plugin. Authenticate the ngram server and sign in to the account whose credits should pay for the video.
03
Request one video
Give the agent an approved change summary and a viewer. Ask it to preview the settings and cost. Confirm only when the scope fits; keep the job ID and project link.
04
Review the same job
Ask about the existing job or open the project. Verify that the steps match the release. If exact screens matter, supply an approved capture or record the workflow in Studio.
Plugin capabilities
What you can ask for in Cursor
The plugin connects to the full ngram MCP server and includes skills for creating videos and business images.
Create from a brief
Give the agent a change summary or public article and tell it what the viewer needs to understand.
Review the estimate
The plugin’s video skill previews settings and cost before you approve creation.
Track the job
Ask about the job you already started; use the project link for later review.
Finish in Studio
Open the project when a scene needs an edit or when you need to inspect the timeline.
Where it fits
Three good reasons to start in Cursor
Start here when the explanation begins with an approved engineering detail. Use a recording for exact UI and a written note for commands people need to copy.
Teach one technical concept
Help a new engineer see why seven is prime and nine is not. Check that the narration and diagram agree before sending the lesson.
See the explainer playbookExplain one change in a release
Show account admins the new due-date column in an export. Check the final label against a real export before announcing the change.
See the changelog playbookPrepare a support walkthrough
Turn the invitation sequence into a short brief for the support team. If the learner needs to match a button exactly, use an approved recording.
