What it does

Video Director is an agent skill from Jamailar/Beav. Canonical entrypoint for every AI chat request that asks to make, generate, plan, or edit a video, including promotional films, ads, short videos, product videos, reference-image videos, image-to-video, first/last-frame transitions, storyboard/keyframes, character talking-head videos, 宣传片, 广告片, 短视频, 视频, 口播视频, 分镜图, 图片转视频, and 商品宣传片. Do not invoke cosyvoice-ssml or tts-director as the first response to a video request. This skill must draft a script and shot table, generate storyboard contact-sheet preview images…

Its SKILL.md is about 9.6k 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, Comics and storyboards and Text to speech and voice. It works with Xiaohongshu. The repository describes itself as: 小红书 AI 运营工作台|小红书采集、评论区下载、素材库、选题、AI写作、小红书全域解决方案,开箱即用,一键安装,小红书AI工作台,自媒体素材库,AI写作+图片自动编排,小红书版OpenClaw、自媒体资产底座+AI工作台,支持小红书图文+小红书评论区下载、小红书AI创作工具、自媒体版WorkBuddy、抖音、小红书爬虫数据采集.

Workflow steps

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

  1. plan_draft: Clarify the intended video mode from the user's goal and assets, then draft a concise but detailed video script and shot table.
  2. storyboard_preview: Immediately after the shot table exists, generate storyboard contact-sheet preview image(s) with…
  3. user_review: Show the script, storyboard preview image(s), and explicit video specs together. Ask the user to confirm or revise the whole…
  4. production_prep: After confirmation, decide whether this should be a <=15s single upstream clip, a long video_sequence request, or a…
  5. tts_if_needed: If the confirmed task is a character talking-head / 口播 video, complete the TTS-first workflow below.
  6. video_generate: Only after confirmation and any required TTS audio is complete, call Operate(resource="video", operation="generate"…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f35befd. 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

    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 Director loads about 9.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 163 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,554 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~163
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9.6k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 4,554 words (~9,618 tokens).

“Use this skill before calling Operate(resource="video", operation="generate", input={ ... }) for video work.”
