What it does
Direct Video Creation is an agent skill from openvetta/open-vetta. Turn creative intent into a production-ready AI video brief, treatment, script/beat plan, shot cards, animatic/keyframe plan, node workflow, and model-profile prompts. Use for text-to-video, image-to-video, multi-shot or dialogue scenes, reference-video transformation, video editing or continuation, product/logo/jewelry/fashion/social/UGC films, fight scenes, character stories, cooking tutorials, music videos, award or freeze effects, talking-character clips, drone or one-shot footage, long-form-to-short clipping…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 32 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/animate-still-method.md` and `references/animatic-keyframes.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first AI agent for coding and real work. BYOK models, MCP, skills, plugins, workflows, and private knowledge bases. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Dialogue scenes
- Reference-video transformation
- Product/logo/jewelry/fashion/social/UGC films
- Character stories
Example prompts
- “/direct-video-creation”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Inspect the project and capabilities.
- If no concept, story, or scene exists, invoke $develop-creative-concept first.
- Classify the request as treatment/script, storyboard/animatic, text-to-video, image-to-video, reference transformation, edit/continuation…
- Build the brief and shot plan before adding generation nodes.
- Generate a low-cost proof shot when direction is uncertain; expand only after the direction is accepted.
- Review the actual output with $review-content-quality before recommending a retry.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b983179. 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.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.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
Direct Video Creation loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~24k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 168 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 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.

Direct AI video creation
Use $operate-content-workflow for all inspection and mutations. This skill supplies creative decisions; runtime capabilities remain the source of truth for what can be executed.
Route the task
- Inspect the project and capabilities.
- If no concept, story, or scene exists, invoke
$develop-creative-conceptfirst. - Classify the request as treatment/script, storyboard/animatic, text-to-video, image-to-video, reference transformation, edit/continuation, single shot, or multi-shot sequence.
- Build the brief and shot plan before adding generation nodes.
- Generate a low-cost proof shot when direction is uncertain; expand only after the direction is accepted.
- Review the actual output with
$review-content-qualitybefore recommending a retry.

Brief requirements
Record purpose, audience, publishing surface, duration, ratio, subject, environment, style, continuity anchors, action, camera, pacing, audio intent, references, constraints, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. Infer reversible defaults; ask only when a missing choice changes cost, supplied references, or the core deliverable.
Keep each generator focused on one visually coherent shot unless the inspected mode explicitly supports multiple timestamped stages or shots in one generation. In that mode, put consecutive time windows inside the video prompt. Otherwise create independent shot nodes and return their intended order. Name the changed variable in every intentional variation.
Choose a generation mode
- Select the method from the authorities the shot must preserve, using
video-strategy-selection.mdbefore considering model availability. - Use the strategy-specific prompt plan kind required by that method, even when
strategy="automatic". - Use first/last-frame behavior only when the inspected mode exposes distinct frame roles and both static endpoint plans are feasible.
- Use omni-reference or video transformation only when the inspected input slots accept the required media kinds.
- Prefer a short low-cost validation shot before a larger set when creative direction is uncertain.
When materializing the plan on the canvas, use $operate-content-workflow's high-level configure_video_shot contract. Pass concrete asset IDs for asset collections, reference upstream image/video generators by future output, and let capability resolution compile business roles to provider slots. Use low-level configure_generation only to preserve or repair an existing technical role configuration. Never express first frame, last frame, visual reference, motion reference, or source video as an unlabelled edge.
