What it does

Video Gen is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. AI video generation via Seedance 2.0 and Kling. Use when the user wants to generate a video clip — text-to-video, image-to-video, first/last-frame transitions, reference-guided generation, or generatively editing / extending an existing clip.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/kling.md` and `references/seedance2.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation. It works with Seedance. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to generate a video clip — text-to-video
  • First/last-frame transitions
  • Reference-guided generation
  • Generatively editing / extending an existing clip

Example prompts

  • “/video-gen”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Align scope with the user
  2. Write the prompt
  3. Submit one, wait, confirm
  4. Iterate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 91b77ea. 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 typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Gen loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,897 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,897 words (~3,778 tokens).

“Submits one video generation job per call and returns a jobId. Job management (wait / status) belongs to track_progress; this skill does not place videos on the timeline automatically.”
