What it does

Scene To Video is an agent skill from benjiyaya/Calliope. Use when turning a Calliope scene into a video job — chaining from a previous clip, ordering reference images, or picking duration settings.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs. It works with ComfyUI and SvelteKit. The repository describes itself as: Local-first AI Idea-to-video studio — FastAPI + SvelteKit + ComfyUI. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0a75919. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Scene To Video loads about 552 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 280 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~552

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Scene to Video

Overview

Recipe for driving a scene through Calliope's video path: draft prompt → resolve references → enqueue → track the artifact. The machine contract (role tags, profiles) is enforced by Calliope; this skill is the judgment layer on top.

When to Use

  • The user asks to generate video for one or more scenes
  • A scene should continue from the previous clip (chain_from_prev)
  • Reference ordering matters (which character/image is <Subject 1>)

The Flow

  1. Read the scene first — get_workspace or list_scenes for the scene's draft text, characters in scene order, and location. Never enqueue from a summary alone.
  2. Prompt style follows the workflow's prompt_profile — prose (flat paragraph) or minimax_h3_ref (six-section, rewritten by an LLM at enqueue time). Don't hand-format H3 sections unless the user asked for a raw prompt; the profile owns the format.
  3. References fill slots in node-id order: characters in scene order, then the location, capped at the workflow's (Input:image) slot count. <Subject 1> = lowest node id. If a specific character must be Subject 1, say so and let the user re-wire the data edges on the canvas.
  4. Continue scenes need the workflow to have an (Input:video) node. Auto mode takes the nearest earlier clip; if it doesn't exist, surface the error — don't retry blind.
  5. Confirm before enqueue — use ask_user with scope:"render" when the user hasn't explicitly asked to generate. Then enqueue_video_jobs with the scene_id, and track via the returned job ids.

Failure Handling

  • job.failed with a Comfy node name in the error: report the node and its likely input gap (missing ref file, bad dimension pair).
  • Poll timeout: the queue may still be busy — check get_workspace job status before re-enqueueing; double enqueues waste GPU-hours.
