What it does

Aliyun Wan Animate Move is an agent skill from cinience/alicloud-skills. Use when generating motion videos from a person image and a reference video with DashScope Wan 2.2 animate-move model (wan2.2-animate-move). Use when transferring actions, expressions, or dance moves from a reference video onto a character image via the image2video async API.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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/generate_animate_move.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative. 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

  • Generating motion videos from a person image and a reference video with DashScope Wan 2.2 animate-move model (wan2.2-animate-move)
  • Transferring actions
  • Dance moves from a reference video onto a character image via the image2video async API

Example prompts

  • “/aliyun-wan-animate-move”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm user intent: transfer motion from reference video to character image.
  2. Select service mode: wan-std (fast/cheap) or wan-pro (high quality).
  3. Prepare image URL and video URL with valid formats and dimensions.
  4. Create async task and poll for results.
  5. Download and save generated video before URL 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 Wan Animate Move loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 461 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.4k

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.

Validation

bash
mkdir -p output/aliyun-wan-animate-move
python -m py_compile skills/ai/video/aliyun-wan-animate-move/scripts/generate_animate_move.py && echo "py_compile_ok" > output/aliyun-wan-animate-move/validate.txt

Output And Evidence

  • Save task IDs, polling responses, and final video URLs to output/aliyun-wan-animate-move/.
  • Keep at least one end-to-end run log for troubleshooting.

Prerequisites

  • Install SDK (recommended in a venv):
bash
python3 -m venv .venv

Output location

  • Default output: output/aliyun-wan-animate-move/videos/
  • Override base dir with OUTPUT_DIR.

Anti-patterns

  • Do not use model names other than wan2.2-animate-move.
  • Do not call this API synchronously -- async header is required.
  • Do not use multiple people in image or video -- single person only.
  • Video URLs expire after 24 hours; download and persist immediately.
  • Do not use images with occluded faces or extreme proportions.

Workflow

  1. Confirm user intent: transfer motion from reference video to character image.
  2. Select service mode: wan-std (fast/cheap) or wan-pro (high quality).
  3. Prepare image URL and video URL with valid formats and dimensions.
  4. Create async task and poll for results.
  5. Download and save generated video before URL expiration.
