openrouter-image2video is a skill for Claude Code from QinghongLin/data2story-skill. It costs 30 tokens per session (984 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that turns an existing still image into a short video through OpenRouter. You provide the image and a motion description, such as a camera pan or gentle animation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to animate local image files or remote image URLs, specify the motion, duration, and aspect ratio, and save the resulting video.
Why use it?
It adds movement to a finished image while aiming to preserve its composition. This avoids having to create the entire scene from a text prompt again.

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

openrouter-image2video 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate_video_from_image.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

openrouter-image2video

Image + motion-prompt → video via OpenRouter. Default model: google/veo-3.1-fast.

Use this when you already have a strong still image and want to bring it to life with subtle motion (camera pan, parallax, gentle animation) while preserving the composition. For motion-from-scratch, use openrouter-text2video instead.

The script accepts either a remote image URL or a local image path; local files are base64-encoded and inlined into the request as a data URL.

Usage

Resolve TOOL_DIR = the directory containing this SKILL.md. Commands below use TOOL_DIR as a symbolic placeholder; replace it with the resolved, quoted path before running Bash.

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-...

# From a local image you already generated with text2image
python3 TOOL_DIR/scripts/generate_video_from_image.py \
  --image PROJECT_DIR/assets/teaser.png \
  --prompt "slow parallax push-in, soft drift of ambient particles, no camera shake" \
  --duration 5 \
  --aspect-ratio 16:9 \
  --download PROJECT_DIR/assets/teaser.mp4

# Or from a remote URL
python3 TOOL_DIR/scripts/generate_video_from_image.py \
  --image-url "https://example.com/still.png" \
  --prompt "subtle camera dolly forward, gentle depth-of-field shift" \
  --download PROJECT_DIR/assets/scene.mp4

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
