What it does

Hunyuan Video is an agent skill from VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. Use this operating skill for Tencent-Hunyuan/HunyuanVideo text-to-video setup, checkpoint layout, inference commands, Gradio launch, and CUDA/FP8/xDiT troubleshooting.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/architecture-and-models.md`, `references/repo-provenance.md` and `references/repo-routing-metadata.json`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Model hubs and datasets and AI video generation. It works with Gradio and CUDA. The repository describes itself as: A Skill Library for Automated Machine Learning.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Model hubs and datasets
  • Tasks that involve AI video generation

Example prompts

  • “/hunyuan-video”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. If the user is blocked before generation because dependencies, CUDA, model files, or text encoders are missing, read…
  2. If the user needs a single-GPU sampling command, API call, prompt/seed/shape explanation, or output-file behavior, read…
  3. If the user mentions multi-GPU, torchrun, xDiT, ulysses-degree, ring-degree, FP8, flash-attn, xfuser, or memory planning, read…
  4. If the user wants the browser UI, Gradio, SERVER_NAME, SERVER_PORT, or web-demo troubleshooting, read sub-skills/web-demo/SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac3fe1a. 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:

    • python

    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

Hunyuan Video loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 460 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 460 words (~1,146 tokens).

“Use this skill when a task involves Tencent-Hunyuan/HunyuanVideo text-to-video generation, checkpoint setup, command construction, Gradio launch, or CUDA/FP8/xDiT troubleshooting. HunyuanVideo is a PyTorch repository for a large 13B-class video diffusion model with a 3D VAE, MLLM/CLIP text encoders, single-GPU sampling…”
