Agnes Free Video

Use this skill to create and poll asynchronous video generation tasks with agnes-video-v2.0.

Credential Rule

Read the API key from the environment. Do not hardcode keys in prompts, scripts, skill files, commits, or shell history.

Preferred variable:

export AGNES_API_KEY="..."

The helper also accepts AGNES_TOKEN as a fallback.

Quick Start

Text-to-video:

python3 scripts/agnes_video.py create \
  --prompt "A cinematic shot of a cat walking on the beach at sunset, soft ocean waves, warm golden lighting, realistic motion" \
  --width 1152 \
  --height 768 \
  --num-frames 121 \
  --frame-rate 24 \
  --output-dir ./outputs/agnes-free-video

Image-to-video:

python3 scripts/agnes_video.py create \
  --prompt "Animate the product with a slow camera push-in, soft studio reflections, stable identity" \
  --image-url "https://example.com/product.png" \
  --num-frames 121 \
  --frame-rate 24

Keyframe transition:

python3 scripts/agnes_video.py create \
  --prompt "Create a smooth cinematic transition between the keyframes with natural pacing" \
  --image-url "https://example.com/keyframe1.png" \
  --image-url "https://example.com/keyframe2.png" \
  --mode keyframes \
  --num-frames 121

Check an existing task:

python3 scripts/agnes_video.py status \
  --task-id task_123456 \
  --download \
  --output-dir ./outputs/agnes-free-video

Validate request shape without calling the API:

python3 scripts/agnes_video.py create \
  --prompt "A short cinematic AI product teaser, slow dolly shot, clean lighting" \
  --num-frames 81 \
  --dry-run

Workflow

1. Decide the mode: text-to-video, image-to-video, multi-image, or keyframe animation.
2. Write the prompt with subject, action, scene, camera movement, lighting, and style.
3. Keep num_frames at 81, 121, 161, 241, or 441 unless the user has a specific duration need.
4. Use scripts/agnes_video.py create to submit and poll. Use status if the user already has a task ID.
5. Download the video_url promptly when it appears.
