When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve AI video generation

Example prompts

“/ai-video-calls-tavus”

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js
A credential in GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Customer Support: AI-powered video support agents
Sales Demos: Personalized video product demos
Training: Interactive video training sessions
Onboarding: Automated new user onboarding calls
Interviews: AI-assisted screening interviews

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. 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
- python3
- npx
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:
- api.gooseworks.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AI Video Calls Tavus loads about 741 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 210 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~741

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.
