alibaba-wan-video

alibaba-wan-video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/generative-media-skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (10,987 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for Alibaba's Wan video models, available through Alibaba Cloud's hosted APIs or official downloadable model weights. Model weights are files you can run yourself rather than a hosted service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for text-to-video, image-to-video, frame-based continuation, reference-to-video, editing, speech-driven video, and character animation.
Why use it?
It helps you select the right hosted or self-hosted version and avoid silently mixing different model IDs, protocols, regions, or third-party gateways.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

alibaba-wan-video scanned grade A with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Alibaba Wan video

Use this skill to choose and operate the correct Wan surface. Treat hosted model IDs and downloadable checkpoints as different products even when their version numbers look related.

Route first

  1. Ask for the task, inputs, output duration/resolution/aspect ratio, audio requirement, deployment region/data boundary, budget, latency, GPU capacity, and whether managed inference is acceptable.
  2. Choose one route:
    • Hosted Model Studio for current Wan 2.7 quality, 2–15 second clips, generated/custom audio, 1080P, managed scaling, reference-to-video, continuation, or hosted editing.
    • Official open weights for offline processing, weight access, reproducible checkpoint pinning, adaptation, or self-hosting. The current official public family is Wan 2.2 (plus Wan 2.1 legacy), not hosted Wan 2.7.
  3. Never silently substitute a hosted alias, an older API protocol, a community quantization, or a third-party gateway.
  4. Before any billable request or large checkpoint download, show the exact model/revision, region, inputs, output settings, estimated charge or storage, and obtain explicit approval. A dry run must make no network mutation.

Keep the product families separate

Surface Current production choices What it provides Boundary
Hosted Wan 2.7 wan2.7-t2v-2026-06-12, wan2.7-i2v-2026-04-25, wan2.7-r2v-2026-06-12, wan2.7-videoedit; moving aliases also exist T2V; first/last-frame I2V; continuation; entity/voice reference; editing; 720P/1080P; generated or supplied audio Closed managed service under Model Studio terms. No official Wan 2.7 checkpoint is implied by the API name. Pin dated snapshots when stability matters.
Hosted Wan 2.6 wan2.6-t2v, wan2.6-i2v, wan2.6-i2v-flash, wan2.6-r2v, wan2.6-r2v-flash; -us T2V/I2V variants in Virginia Broader region choice, legacy API schema, audio-capable generation; flash can be cheaper Uses the legacy size protocol. Do not send Wan 2.7 resolution/ratio bodies to it.
Hosted legacy Wan 2.5 preview; Wan 2.2/2.1 T2V, I2V, keyframe/VACE, speech/animate variants Compatibility and specialized workflows Capabilities, fixed durations, resolution tiers, naming (wanx2.1-* in Beijing), and pricing differ. Consult the exact legacy reference. A hosted wan2.2-* ID is not proof that it serves the public checkpoint bit-for-bit.
Open Wan 2.2 T2V-A14B, I2V-A14B, TI2V-5B, S2V-14B, Animate-14B Offline T2V/I2V, speech-driven video, character animation/replacement; Apache-2.0 checkpoints and code No hosted SLA, automatic safety service, or managed scaling.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
