Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a cloud-based explainer-video frontend and requires a NEMO_TOKEN (it can also obtain a short-lived anonymous token from https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai). Before installing: (1) confirm you are comfortable uploading potentially sensitive video/audio to the external domain mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai and review that service's privacy/terms; (2) avoid providing long-lived or unrelated credentials — NEMO_TOKEN is the only required credential; (3) ask the publisher why the frontmatter lists a local config path (~/.config/nemovideo/) and why the skill probes install/config directories — if you don't want filesystem probing, decline installation; (4) prefer ephemeral/anonymous tokens rather than putting a persistent NEMO_TOKEN in your environment; (5) if you need stronger assurance, request the service's homepage, privacy policy, and code or host provenance before using with sensitive footage.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: video-explainer
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a functional wrapper for a cloud-based video processing service (nemovideo.ai). It manages authentication via the NEMO_TOKEN environment variable or an anonymous token generation process, and it facilitates video uploads and rendering tasks through a documented API. While it includes telemetry headers (X-Skill-Platform) and sends user data to a third-party backend (mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai), these behaviors are transparently documented and directly aligned with the stated purpose of providing a cloud-rendered video explainer service.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and instructions align with a cloud-based video processing service and the single required credential (NEMO_TOKEN) is appropriate. However the SKILL.md frontmatter requests a config path (~/.config/nemovideo/) while the registry metadata above stated no required config paths — this mismatch is incoherent and could indicate the skill expects local config files not declared elsewhere.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions tell the agent to upload user-provided video files and to call external API endpoints (session creation, SSE, upload, render, credits, state). That is expected for the stated purpose. Concerns: (1) the skill instructs detecting install paths (~/.clawhub/, ~/.cursor/skills/) to set X-Skill-Platform header — that requires probing specific filesystem locations; (2) it will POST to an anonymous-token endpoint and treat the returned token as NEMO_TOKEN if none is present. Both behaviors expand what the agent will read/access beyond just in-chat file uploads and should be noted. The SKILL.md also instructs to not expose tokens, but the agent will still handle and transmit them to the external API.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — lowest install risk. Nothing is written to disk by an installer in the skill package itself.
Credentials
Only NEMO_TOKEN is declared as required (primaryEnv). That fits the cloud API workflow. The skill will also obtain an anonymous token from the remote API if NEMO_TOKEN is absent. No other unrelated secrets are requested. Still, a token grants the backend permission to process uploaded media, so the privacy/credential impact is real and should be considered.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install hooks — good. But the skill instructs probing common install/config paths (~/.clawhub/, ~/.cursor/skills/, and a possible ~/.config/nemovideo/) to determine X-Skill-Platform and possibly read local config. Probing these paths is more intrusive than strictly necessary for a single-use cloud upload and could leak information about local environment layout.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install video-explainer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/video-explainer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
