Usage Guidance
This skill sends the article URL (and optionally scraped article text) to revid.ai using your REVID_API_KEY. Before installing, consider: 1) privacy — any article content you send goes to a third party (don't send private/sensitive content). 2) API key security — store REVID_API_KEY securely and avoid exposing it in shared scripts. 3) copyright — ensure you have rights to repurpose the article into a video. 4) network trust — the skill communicates with https://www.revid.ai; if you need stricter controls, review the provider's privacy/retention policies or run server-side prefetching and use the alternate script-to-video flow described in the docs.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: revid-article-to-short
Version: 1.3.1
The skill bundle is a legitimate integration for the Revid.ai API, designed to convert article URLs into short videos. The provided files, including SKILL.md and examples/run.sh, contain standard API request logic, polling loops using curl and jq, and clear instructions for the AI agent that align with the stated purpose without any evidence of malicious intent or data exfiltration.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (article → short) align with the runtime instructions and examples which call revid.ai's /render and /status endpoints. The only required config is REVID_API_KEY, which is appropriate for a third‑party render API.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs validating the URL, POSTing a JSON payload to revid.ai, and polling or using a webhook. It does not direct the agent to read unrelated files, other credentials, or system paths. The fallback advice to pre-fetch an article body is scoped to the same task.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk by the skill itself. Example scripts use curl/jq but those are examples only and not installed by the skill.
Credentials
Only REVID_API_KEY is required and declared; that is proportional to calling the revid.ai API. No unrelated secrets or environment variables are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system changes or elevated privileges. It does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings.
