Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and focused on ffmpeg-based editing with no hidden network calls or secret access. Before installing or running: (1) verify ffmpeg/ffprobe are installed (brew install ffmpeg or your distro package); (2) inspect the included scripts (they are plain shell and call ffmpeg); (3) ensure small utilities used by scripts (realpath, mktemp, bc) exist on your system or adjust the scripts; (4) run operations on trusted or sandboxed files first (ffmpeg processes input media and malformed files can crash tools); and (5) note the source/homepage is unspecified — if provenance matters, request a named maintainer or upstream link before wider use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: video-editor
Version: 1.0.0
The video-editor skill bundle provides a collection of shell scripts that wrap ffmpeg for common media processing tasks such as trimming, merging, and resizing videos. The scripts (e.g., cut.sh, merge.sh, resize.sh) use standard shell quoting for arguments and follow the logic described in the SKILL.md documentation. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found; the bundle functions as a legitimate utility for video editing.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, and the included shell scripts all focus on ffmpeg-based editing (cut, merge, convert, extract audio, subtitles, resize, crop, speed). The declared required binaries (ffmpeg, ffprobe) are appropriate for the stated purpose; scripts perform only video/audio processing using ffmpeg.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions direct the agent to run the included scripts and ffmpeg commands; the scripts operate only on user-supplied file paths and temporary files. Minor scope issues: scripts call common system utilities that are not listed in metadata (realpath, mktemp, bc). The SKILL.md troubleshooting examples also reference external utilities (file, iconv). There are no instructions to read unrelated files, access credentials, or send data off-host.
Install Mechanism
No custom install routine or remote downloads are present. The metadata suggests installing ffmpeg via a well-known brew formula (ffmpeg). This is proportionate and expected for an ffmpeg-based skill.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. Scripts do not attempt to read env vars or secret/config files. Credential access is not requested or implied.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide privileges or modify other skills. It is user-invocable and can be invoked autonomously per platform defaults, which is normal for a utility skill.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install video-editor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/video-editor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
