Animate Image

What it does

Example prompts

• “/animate-image”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Resolve the brand with brand_list and the project or creative with ads_creative_read (include renders to get source_render_id and the…
2. 2Clarify the motion goal, duration (5 or 10 seconds), and whether the user wants the source image as the start frame or the end frame.
3. 3Write a motion prompt describing camera movement, subject movement, environment movement, pacing, and what must remain unchanged. Do not…
4. 4Call ads_creative_edit with dry_run: true and confirm the quoted credits with the user before generating.
5. 5Call ads_creative_edit once without dry_run. Save the returned job_id.
6. 6Poll job_get with kind: "animate" every few seconds until status is complete or failed. Never re-submit a running job; it double-bills.
7. 7Return result.output_url and the source image used. If it fails, report result.error before proposing a retry.

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

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

  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:

  • mcp.gooseworks.ai

  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

Animate Image loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 492 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~49

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1k

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

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.
