A skill your agent uses whenever the user asks to create, improve, audit, or split prompts for AI video generators (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Runway, Luma, Pika, Sora, any image-to-video system).
Submits text-to-video or image-to-video jobs to xAI Grok Imagine through 9Router, then polls the job and downloads the finished MP4.

At a glance
Submits text-to-video or image-to-video jobs to xAI Grok Imagine through 9Router, then polls the job and downloads the finished MP4.
- Generating a short video from a text prompt
- SKILL.md covers Endpoints (async job flow), Examples, CLI one-shot and Notes & limits
- Calls curl; needs NINEROUTER_KEY
- Turning a still image into a video clip
What it does
This skill covers an asynchronous job flow across four endpoints: submitting a generation, editing an existing video, extending one, and polling a request ID's status. Request fields such as model, prompt, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution, and an image or video reference pass through to xAI unchanged.
It needs a 9Router URL, and a key if auth is enabled, plus a connected xAI account using either Grok Build OAuth or a direct xAI API key, which are billed separately. A bundled CLI one-shot command submits the job, polls it with progress output, and atomically renames the downloaded file on success.
When your agent uses it
- Generating a short video from a text prompt
- Turning a still image into a video clip
- Editing or extending an existing generated video
Example prompts
- “Generate a 9:16 video of a neon city at night using Grok Imagine.”
- “Turn this product photo into a 5-second video.”
- “Extend my generated video by another few seconds.”
Requirements
- 9Router URL and key
- A connected xAI account (OAuth or API key)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce4460e. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.x.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
NINEROUTER_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
9Router Video Generation loads about 992 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 319 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Generate videos via 9Router /v1/videos/generations using xAI Grok Imagine (grok-imagine-video). Async job flow - submit, poll request_id until done, download MP4. Use when the user wants to create, generate, or render a video, text-to-video (txt2vid), or image-to-video.
9Router — Video Generation (xAI Grok Imagine)
Requires NINEROUTER_URL (and NINEROUTER_KEY if auth enabled). See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decolua/9router/refs/heads/master/skills/9router/SKILL.md for setup.
Requires a connected xAI account in the 9Router dashboard — either Grok Build OAuth (SuperGrok / X Premium+ subscription sign-in) or a direct xAI API key from console.x.ai. The two are separate auth types with separate billing; the dashboard shows which one each connection uses.
Endpoints (async job flow)
Video generation is asynchronous: the POST returns a request_id immediately, then you poll until the job is done or failed.
| Endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|
POST /v1/videos/generations | text-to-video / image-to-video |
POST /v1/videos/edits | edit an existing video |
POST /v1/videos/extensions | extend an existing video |
GET /v1/videos/{request_id} | poll job status |
Request fields (passed through to xAI unchanged — see https://docs.x.ai/developers/rest-api-reference/inference/videos):
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
model | no | xai/grok-imagine-video (prefix is stripped before upstream) |
prompt | yes for T2V | video description |
duration | no | seconds |
aspect_ratio | no | 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3 |
resolution | no | 480p, 720p, 1080p |
image | no | { "url": "https://… or data:image/…;base64,…" } for image-to-video |
video | edits/extensions | { "url": "…mp4" } or { "file_id": "…" } |
Examples
Submit a job:
curl -X POST "$NINEROUTER_URL/v1/videos/generations" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $NINEROUTER_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"xai/grok-imagine-video","prompt":"A cinematic tracking shot through a neon city at night","duration":8,"aspect_ratio":"16:9","resolution":"720p"}'
# → {"request_id":"abc123"} (response header x-9router-connection-id: <id>)Poll until done (echo the connection header back so the same account polls the job):
curl "$NINEROUTER_URL/v1/videos/abc123" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $NINEROUTER_KEY" \
-H "x-connection-id: <id from create response>"
# → {"status":"pending","progress":42}
# → {"status":"done","video":{"url":"https://…mp4","duration":8},"model":"grok-imagine-video"}
# → {"status":"failed","error":{"code":"…","message":"…"}}Download: fetch video.url from the done response.
CLI one-shot
9router xai video \
--prompt "A cinematic tracking shot through a neon city at night" \
--output video.mp4
# options: --model --duration --aspect-ratio --resolution --image --timeout --port --api-keySubmits, polls with progress, downloads to video.mp4.part, atomically renames on success. Ctrl+C cancels cleanly; non-zero exit on failure.
Notes & limits
- Jobs are account-bound upstream: poll with the same connection that created the job (
x-connection-idheader, value from the create response'sx-9router-connection-id). - Creation POSTs are never auto-retried (a retry could create and bill two videos). Only a 401→token-refresh→single-retry is performed, which upstream rejects before job creation.
- Video models are tagged
kind: "video"and are excluded from chat model lists and chat fallback combos. - Grok Build subscription OAuth tokens are sent to the same
api.x.ai/v1/videosendpoints as API keys; whether a given subscription tier includes video-generation quota is controlled by xAI and is not verified by 9Router — a403/permission_deniedfrom upstream means the connected account has no video access.
