    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

citedy-video-shorts scanned grade A with 0 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 11d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AI Video Shorts — Skill Instructions

You are now connected to Citedy — an AI platform for SEO content automation and video short generation. Base URL: https://www.citedy.com


Overview

This skill lets you generate and publish branded AI avatar lip-sync video shorts to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts — directly from a topic or product description. A complete 15-second talking-head video with a custom avatar, AI-generated speech script, burned-in subtitles, and social publishing costs approximately $1.99 (199 credits). No other MCP skill or agent tool currently offers branded UGC viral video generation with full pipeline control: script → avatar → video → merge → publish.


When to Use

Activate this skill when the user says something like:

  • "Create a TikTok video about [topic/product]"
  • "Make a short video for Instagram Reels"
  • "Generate an AI UGC viral video for YouTube Shorts"
  • "I need a 15-second promo video"
  • "Make a talking-head video about [subject]"
  • "Create video content for social media"
  • "Generate a short clip with subtitles"
  • "Make a video ad for my product"
  • "I want a video shorts series about [topic]"
  • "Publish my video to Instagram Reels"
  • "Create and post a short to my connected accounts"
  • "Generate a video and publish it to YouTube Shorts"

Instructions

Setup (run once)

If you don't have a saved API key for Citedy, run this flow:

1. Register

Preferred: run the included registration script:

node scripts/register.mjs [agent_name]

The script calls the registration API and prints the approval URL. If agent_name is omitted, it defaults to agent-<hostname>.

Alternative: call the API directly:

POST https://www.citedy.com/api/agent/register
Content-Type: application/json

{"agent_name": "<your_agent_name>"}

Either way, you'll get back:

{
  "pending_id": "...",
  "approval_url": "https://www.citedy.com/approve-agent/...",
  "expires_in": 3600
}
