Elai

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Talking head video

Example prompts

• “/elai”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Video renders consume credits and are confirmation-gated: confirm the exact video id with the user before running render. Poll…
2. 2Custom-avatar submissions are confirmation-gated: confirm with the user before submitting custom-avatar footage (training a likeness).
3. 3Slide layouts are complex. The recommended flow is: build the layout in the Elai UI, fetch it with video-get, and use that structure as…
4. 4Never log or print the raw token; the CLI only ever handles the surrogate.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Elai loads about 761 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~38

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~761

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
