What it does

To Video is an agent skill from sugarforever/boring-video-studio. Use when approved video-planning artifacts must be handed to HyperFrames for production, with optional ListenHub narration.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 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 Text to speech and voice and Motion graphics. It works with HeyGen. The repository describes itself as: 小木头的个人视频流水线 Agent Skill - VerySmallWoods Video. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3445d6. 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

    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

To Video loads about 743 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 384 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~743

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.

To video

Continue the approved HyperFrames review project into final production. Preserve reviewed pixels, timing, motion grammar, and evidence lineage while replacing low-fidelity material with production assets.

Process

  1. Confirm BEATS.md, NARRATION.md, SCENES.md, and STORYBOARD.md agree on stable beat and narration IDs. Recompute every artifact digest and confirm each immediate child records the current parent digest: article → beats → narration → scenes → storyboard, with the storyboard also matching its narration source. For content-driven work, also confirm approval digests match and lineage reaches an approved content/ARTICLE.md and an approved content/TOPIC.md when that contract exists. Return a conflict, digest mismatch, or stale approval to the skill that owns that artifact.
  2. Open the exact project and reviewed revision recorded by SCENES.md, STORYBOARD.md, and project state; fail back to the owning stage if they name different projects or stale revisions. Load /hyperframes, let it select the workflow, then read that workflow's current route contract. Carry presentation as an input; do not infer a workflow from faceless alone.
  3. Give the selected workflow the four planning artifacts, applicable content artifacts, source material, design constraints, presentation choice, collaboration preference, and voice choice. Continue implementation in that project instead of re-creating the reviewed direction or animatic. Treat the artifacts and recorded review decisions as project truth while allowing explicit revisions through HyperFrames' review loop. A material content revision returns to the owning content artifact and its approval gate before it propagates forward.
    • For terminal-hosted coding, shell, CLI, database, or TUI shots, REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use record-terminal and carry its evidence-backed, seek-safe replay, selected visual treatment, and verification contract into production.
    • Verify that direction-board and animatic decisions refer to the current project revision, and reopen only gates invalidated by later changes.
  4. When the user chooses ListenHub, wait for the selected HyperFrames workflow's voice gate, then use /listenhub-tts on that narration version. Give its audio and SRT back through /media-use. If the workflow later revises the narration, treat those outputs as stale and regenerate them at the next voice gate.
  5. Leave production inside the selected HyperFrames workflow through its own completion criterion.

The handoff is complete when HyperFrames has opened the reviewed project revision and accepted the planning artifacts and any requested ListenHub outputs into its state. Production starts from the approved direction board and full animatic; it does not restart their implementation.
