At a glance

Generate viral video content via Magic Hour text-to-video API.

  • Works in 3 steps: Verify API key → Select project → Select idea
  • The user runs /generate
  • SKILL.md covers Before you start, Generation workflow, Build detailed prompt and Input dependencies, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls python; reaches docs.magichour.ai; needs MAGIC_HOUR_API_KEY

What it does

Generate is an agent skill from swaroop2004/Proven-Viral-Content-System. Generate viral video content via Magic Hour text-to-video API. Builds detailed prompts from project ideas, shows best-effort credit estimate, requires spend confirmation, polls job status, and saves outputs. Use when the user runs /generate or wants to create videos from saved ideas.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/magichour-api.md` and `references/prompt-templates.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation. The repository describes itself as: Research, brainstorm, and generate viral video content for Instagram, YouTube, X, and TikTok.

When your agent uses it

  • The user runs /generate
  • Wants to create videos from saved ideas

Example prompts

  • “/generate”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in MAGIC_HOUR_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify API key
  2. Select project
  3. Select idea

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00705ce. 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:

    • python

    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:

    • docs.magichour.ai

    Also links to:

    • manicule.link
    • magichour.ai

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

  • Credentials

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

    • MAGIC_HOUR_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Generate loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:25
    gic Hour API key not configured. Add to `.env`:
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:126
    | 401 | Invalid API key — check `.env` |

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 365 words (~1,047 tokens).

“Turn saved content ideas into Magic Hour videos.”
