What it does

Openrouter Text2video is an agent skill from QinghongLin/data2story-skill. Generate videos via OpenRouter using ByteDance Seedance 2.0.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `config.json` and `scripts/generate_video.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Model routing and gateways and AI video generation. It works with OpenRouter and Seedance. The repository describes itself as: Data Journalist Agent: Transforming Data into Verifiable Multimodal Story. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Model routing and gateways
  • Tasks that involve AI video generation

Example prompts

  • “/openrouter-text2video”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in OPENROUTER_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. POST /api/v1/videos → returns {id, polling_url, status: "pending"}
  2. GET /api/v1/videos/{id} every 5s until status == "completed"
  3. GET /api/v1/videos/{id}/content → raw MP4 bytes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 63a55c1. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPENROUTER_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Openrouter Text2video loads about 490 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 172 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~490

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Generate videos via OpenRouter using ByteDance Seedance 2.0.

openrouter-text2video

Text → video via OpenRouter. Default model: bytedance/seedance-2.0.

Uses the async video-generation endpoint: submit job → poll → download.

Usage

Resolve TOOL_DIR = the directory containing this SKILL.md. Commands below use TOOL_DIR as a symbolic placeholder; replace it with the resolved, quoted path before running Bash.

bash
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-...

python3 TOOL_DIR/scripts/generate_video.py \
  --prompt "A slow dolly push through a retro-futuristic arcade, neon signs reflecting in a puddle" \
  --duration 5 \
  --aspect-ratio 16:9 \
  --resolution 720p \
  --download PROJECT_DIR/assets/hero.mp4

Flags

--duration5Seconds
--aspect-ratio16:916:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, 9:21

--generate-audiooffGenerate audio with video (if model supports)
--poll-interval5Seconds between polls
--max-wait600Max total wait time

Flow

  1. POST /api/v1/videos → returns {id, polling_url, status: "pending"}
  2. GET /api/v1/videos/{id} every 5s until status == "completed"
  3. GET /api/v1/videos/{id}/content → raw MP4 bytes

Pricing

Seedance 2.0: ~$7/M tokens with (height × width × duration × 24) / 1024 token formula. A 5-second 720p 16:9 clip ≈ 145k tokens ≈ $1.

Notes

  • Supports text-to-video, image-to-video (first/last frame control via frame_images), and reference-to-video.
  • This script only wires text-to-video. Extend the body to add frame_images or input_references for advanced modes.
