At a glance

Upload, stream, search, edit, transcribe, and generate AI video and audio using the VideoDB SDK.

  • Works in 3 steps: Install the skill → Run setup → Install the SDK

What it does

Videodb Skills is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Upload, stream, search, edit, transcribe, and generate AI video and audio using the VideoDB SDK.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 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 Transcription and AI video generation. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Transcription
  • Tasks that involve AI video generation

Example prompts

  • “/videodb-skills”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in VIDEO_DB_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install the skill
  2. Run setup
  3. Install the SDK

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • 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:

    • youtube.com

    Also links to:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • VIDEO_DB_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Videodb Skills loads about 939 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~939

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.

VideoDB Skills

Purpose

The only video skill your agent needs. Upload any video, connect real-time streams, search inside by what was said or shown, build complex editing workflows with overlays, generate AI media, add subtitles, and get instant streaming links — all via the VideoDB Python SDK.

When to Use This Skill

  • User wants to upload and process videos from YouTube, URLs, or local files
  • User needs to search for moments by speech or visual scenes
  • User asks for transcription, subtitles, or subtitle styling
  • User wants to edit clips — trim, combine, add text/image/audio overlays
  • User needs AI-generated media (images, video, music, sound effects, voiceovers)
  • User wants to transcode, change resolution, or reframe for social platforms
  • User needs real-time screen or audio capture with AI transcription
  • User asks for playable streaming links for any video output

Setup

Step 1: Install the skill
bash
npx skills add video-db/skills
Step 2: Run setup
/videodb setup

The agent guides API key setup ($20 free credits, no credit card), installs the SDK, and verifies the connection.

Alternatively, set the API key manually:

bash
export VIDEO_DB_API_KEY=sk-xxx
Step 3: Install the SDK
bash
pip install "videodb[capture]" python-dotenv
