What it does

Aliyun Happyhorse Videoedit is an agent skill from cinience/alicloud-skills. Use when editing videos with DashScope HappyHorse 1.0 video editing model (happyhorse-1.0-video-edit). Use when implementing instruction-based video editing such as style transfer or local replacement, optionally guided by 0-5 reference images, via the video-synthesis async API on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api_reference.md`, `references/sources.md` and `scripts/edit_happyhorse.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production and AI video generation. It works with Alibaba Cloud. The repository describes itself as: alibaba cloud skills,qwen ,wan and all skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing videos with DashScope HappyHorse 1.0 video editing model (happyhorse-1.0-video-edit)
  • Implementing instruction-based video editing such as style transfer
  • Local replacement
  • Optionally guided by 0-5 reference images

Example prompts

  • “/aliyun-happyhorse-videoedit”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
  • A credential in API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm intent: style transfer vs. instruction edit, and whether reference images are needed.
  2. Validate the input video meets format / duration / resolution / fps / size limits.
  3. Build the media array with exactly 1 video plus 0-5 reference_image entries.
  4. Create async task and poll /tasks/{task_id} every ~15s; download output.video_url before 24-hour expiration.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1818263. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • python3

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • dashscope.aliyuncs.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
    • API_KEY

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

Context cost

Aliyun Happyhorse Videoedit loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 601 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.4k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

    "prompt": "将整个画面转换为水墨画风格",
    "resolution": "720P",

# Local replacement with a reference image, keep original audio
task_id = create_videoedit_task({

    "prompt": "让视频中的马头人身角色穿上图片中的条纹毛衣",

Output location

  • Default output: output/aliyun-happyhorse-videoedit/videos/
  • Override base dir with OUTPUT_DIR.

Anti-patterns

  • Do not use any model ID other than happyhorse-1.0-video-edit.
  • Do not call this API synchronously — async header is required.
  • Do not pass more than 1 video, more than 5 reference images, or any first_frame / last_frame / driving_audio.
  • Do not pass ratio or duration — output ratio follows the input video and duration follows the truncation rule.
  • Video URLs expire after 24 hours; download and persist immediately.
  • Do not use this skill for generation from scratch — use aliyun-happyhorse-t2v, aliyun-happyhorse-i2v, or aliyun-happyhorse-r2v instead.

Workflow

  1. Confirm intent: style transfer vs. instruction edit, and whether reference images are needed.
  2. Validate the input video meets format / duration / resolution / fps / size limits.
  3. Build the media array with exactly 1 video plus 0-5 reference_image entries.
  4. Create async task and poll /tasks/{task_id} every ~15s; download output.video_url before 24-hour expiration.
