What it does

Video Downloader is an agent skill from idiotLeoLYJ/Daliu-Awesome-Skills. Download videos from Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, and Bilibili by sharing link. Invoke when user provides a share link from these platforms and asks to download/save the video locally.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `_meta.json` and `downloader.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production. It works with Douyin, Bilibili and Xiaohongshu. The repository describes itself as: 大刘(公众号:爱 AI 的大刘)的自建高质量 Skills 合集.

When your agent uses it

  • Provides a share link from these platforms and asks to download/save the video locally
  • Tasks that involve Video production

Example prompts

  • “/video-downloader”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8860202. 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 script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

    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:

    • v.douyin.com
    • bilibili.com

    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 Downloader loads about 475 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 75 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~475

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

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.
