auto-short-video

auto-short-video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ZJU-REAL/Easel. It costs 191 tokens per session (1,519 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow that turns a topic or script into a short spoken video by coordinating writing, visuals, voice-over, captions, background music, and final assembly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create one short news-style or narrated video, with either generated visuals or supplied media, after choosing a landscape or portrait format.
Why use it?
It removes the need to run and connect each media-production step by hand. Missing services can be skipped or handled with a fallback when supported by the workflow.

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

auto-short-video 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/assemble.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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

一键短视频(端到端编排)

输入一个主题,自动产出一条短视频。本 SKILL 是编排层:把已有制作零件串成流水线—— 文案(video-script) → 逐句配图(ai-image-gen)或片段(ai-video-gen) → 配音(tts-voiceover) → 字幕(auto-subtitle) → BGM(ai-music) → 合成(scripts/assemble.py)。 沉淀自 Pixelle-Video / MoneyPrinterTurbo 的自动短视频引擎思路。

输入

  • 主题 / 文案(必填)
  • 可选:目标时长、风格、是否要配音/字幕/BGM、配图用 AI 生图还是用户素材
  • 画幅确认硬门:用户或上游任务未明确横版/竖版(或 16:9/9:16/具体分辨率)时,制作/付费调用前必须追问并等确认;不得从平台、Profile 或默认值静默推断,已明确则不重复问

输出

成品短视频写入 outputs/主题名/final.mp4;分镜图、配音、字幕和 storyboard 写入 outputs/主题名/assets/

执行步骤(按需裁剪,缺 API key 的环节自动降级或询问)

  1. 写脚本分镜:用 video-script 把主题写成口播文案,拆成 N 句(每句一个分镜),每句配一个画面描述。

  2. 生成画面(每个分镜一张图/一段片):

    • 有图像 API key → ai-image-gen 逐句 text2img(按已确认画幅)
    • 要动态 → ai-video-gen text2video/image2video
    • 用户自带素材 → 用 image-editing pad 到已确认画幅
    • 都没有 → 按已确认画幅选图卡(竖版用 card-xiaohongshu/poster-hero,横版用 card-quote)再 pad,避免画幅错配。
  3. 配音tts-voiceover 把文案合成口播(同时出 SRT)。配了 VOICE_PROVIDER 默认走闭源好嗓子(有情感、像真人),没 key 才退 edge(机械)——想要口播不"生硬"务必配闭源 key。不需要配音才跳过。

  4. 字幕:用 TTS 附带的 SRT,或对配音跑 auto-subtitle;也可让 assemble 用各分镜 caption 自动生成。

  5. BGMai-music 生成,或用用户提供的音乐。可选。

  6. 合成成片:把上面的素材写成 storyboard JSON,调合成器:

    python skills/openclaw/auto-short-video/scripts/assemble.py assemble \
      --storyboard outputs/主题名/assets/storyboard.json \
      -o outputs/主题名/final.mp4
    

    storyboard 结构(图/片二选一,narration/bgm/subtitle 可选,缺 duration 时按配音均分):

    {
      "size": "<已确认尺寸,如1080x1920或1920x1080>",
      "image_motion": "ken-burns",
      "shots": [
        {"image": "outputs/主题名/assets/shot1.png", "duration": 3, "caption": "第一句", "motion": "static"},
        {"video": "outputs/主题名/assets/clip2.mp4", "caption": "第二句"}
      ],
      "narration": "outputs/主题名/assets/voice.mp3",
      "bgm": "outputs/主题名/assets/bgm.mp3",
      "subtitle": "outputs/主题名/assets/voice.srt"
    }
    

    image_motion 设整条图片默认运动,单镜 motion 可覆写:照片用 ken-burns,含文字的 slide/图表/界面必须用 static(等比缩放 + 补边,不裁切、不平移)。 合成器自动做:按 image_motion 生成静帧或 Ken Burns、补边到画幅、拼接、配音+BGM 混音(BGM 自动压低)、烧录字幕。

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.
