What it does
Video is an agent skill from guaardvark/guaardvark. Generate video clips on the user's own GPU through Guaardvark: text-to-video, image-to-video, first+last frame animation, clips with their own soundtrack and dialogue (MiniMax H3), short looping animations, and batch runs. Use when the user asks to make, render, animate, or batch-generate video locally.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation and Music and audio generation. It works with MiniMax, Model Context Protocol and ComfyUI. The repository describes itself as: Self-hosted AI studio on your own GPU: chat with your files (RAG), screen and browser agents, coding swarms, LoRA training, an MCP server for Claude Code and Cursor, and local… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to make
- Batch-generate video locally
Example prompts
- “/video”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2a33110. 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
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Video loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 449 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.

- Generate video clips on the user's own GPU through Guaardvark: text-to-video, image-to-video, first+last frame animation, clips with their own soundtrack and dialogue (MiniMax H3), short looping animations, and batch runs.

Video with Guaardvark
Read setup first if the backend or the comfyui plugin state is unknown.
Video needs a 16 GB-class NVIDIA card. Clips take minutes, so every route is queued.
Pick the model
GET ${GUAARDVARK_URL:-http://localhost:5000}/api/batch-video/models lists the registry with
is_downloaded / is_ready (and missing_files), capabilities (modes t2v/i2v, max_frames, native_fps,
aspect_ratios, min_steps, speed_profiles, audio_out), vram_mb, size_gb, license. Installed on a typical box:
| id | what it is | notes |
|---|---|---|
wan22-5b | Wan 2.2 TI2V-5B, t2v + i2v, 24 fps, up to 121 frames | the everyday default |
wan22-14b / wan22-14b-i2v | Wan 2.2 14B MoE, 16 fps, 81 frames | best quality; speed_profile: lightx2v-4 for 4-step Lightning |
ltx23-distilled-fp8 | LTX-2.3 distilled, 8 steps, 161 frames | fastest long clips |
minimax-h3-int8 | MiniMax H3, text / first / last / first+last frame, generates its own stereo soundtrack and spoken lines | pass audio: true; ~6.5 min for 5 s on a 16 GB card |
cogvideox-5b / -i2v | CogVideoX, 8 fps, 49 frames | legacy |
The active default is GET /api/settings/active_video_model (resolved.t2v, resolved.i2v, resolved.scene).
Never pass a step count below the model's min_steps; the server raises it and the result would be smeared anyway.
One clip: MCP generate_video
prompt: scene, subject, motion, style, and any spoken lines (H3 speaks them).model,duration_s(clamped to the model),aspect_ratio(one the model declares),style(cinematic, realistic, anime, 3d_animation, ...),num_inference_steps,speed_profile.audio: trueforces a soundtrack-capable model (H3) and fails on a silent family.first_image/last_image: document id or path; last frame needs a first+last mode model.reference_images/reference_audio: lock a person, look or voice (reference build only).wait_for_resultdefault false: the tool returns a batch id and a Studio deep link at once. Give the user the link; pollget_generation_status(batch_id=...)(MCP) orGET /api/batch-video/status/<batch_id>if they ask you to wait.wait_for_result: trueblocks for the clip, up to 30 minutes.

Looping animation: MCP generate_animation
Frame-morph GIF/MP4 via img2img: prompt, motion, frames 2-24, strength 0.1-0.5, format gif|mp4|both.
Use for short loops and stickers, not for cinema clips. Over MCP it answers at once with a job id

wait_for_result: true to wait up to 60 s for them.

B=${GUAARDVARK_URL:-http://localhost:5000}
# text to video, one clip per prompt
curl -s -X POST $B/api/batch-video/generate/text -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{

interpolation_multiplier (RIFE frame interpolation), combine_frames, lora_name +
lora_strength, adapters, guides (per-prompt audio/image anchors on models that declare them),
last_frame_paths (image route), storyboard_concept / storyboard_shots.

retry POST $B/api/batch-video/retry/<batch_id>.
Rules
- Quote the model and the queued batch id back to the user. Never claim a clip is done until the status route says so.
- The GPU is exclusive: while video renders, chat models are evicted. Warn before queuing a long batch.
- The Studio page (Video Gen) shows the same queue; the user may prefer to watch it there.

Video is an agent skill from guaardvark/guaardvark. Generate video clips on the user's own GPU through Guaardvark: text-to-video, image-to-video, first+last frame animation, clips with their own soundtrack and dialogue (MiniMax H3), short looping animations, and batch runs.
When should I use Video?
Video fits situations like: the user asks to make; batch-generate video locally.
How do I install Video in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add guaardvark/guaardvark --skill video -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/video in guaardvark/guaardvark) into .claude/skills/video in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Video in Codex?
Run `npx skills add guaardvark/guaardvark --skill video -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/video in guaardvark/guaardvark) into .agents/skills/video in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Video in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add guaardvark/guaardvark --skill video -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/video, .gemini/skills/video, .github/skills/video and .opencode/skills/video in your project.
What does Video need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Video needs the command-line tools its instructions call (curl).
Does Video access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Video safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Video use?
Video is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Video use?
About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Video?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Video: ComfyUI Local Driver (SlavaSexton/ComfyUI-Agent-Kit, 105 stars), VRGDG H3 Short Film Pipeline (vrgamegirl19/comfyui-vrgamedevgirl, 763 stars), H3 Video (agent-next/video-agent, 120 stars) and Blockrun (BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp, 391 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Video?
guaardvark (a GitHub user) maintains it in guaardvark/guaardvark, which has 257 GitHub stars. The repository holds 15 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 9, 2026.
