Description
Generate captions for short-form videos using the ReelWords (reelwords.ai) Caption API. Use when a user asks to create caption jobs, render stylized subtitle...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims: call ReelWords APIs to create/poll caption jobs and optionally download results. Before installing: (1) ensure you trust https://reelwords.ai and are willing to give the skill an API key; (2) provide the key via REELWORDS_API_KEY or the suggested ~/.clawdbot/openclaw.json but avoid committing the key to source control; (3) install the Python dependency 'requests' (e.g., pip install requests) because the included script requires it; (4) run the script in a trusted environment since it performs network calls and will write the downloaded video to disk; (5) rotate the API key if you later revoke access. If you want extra assurance, inspect or run the script in a sandboxed environment before granting the key to production systems.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: video-captions-reelwords
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign, designed to interact with the ReelWords Caption API as described. The `SKILL.md` provides clear, helpful instructions, including security advice for handling API keys, and contains no prompt injection attempts. The `scripts/reelwords_caption_job.py` script correctly implements the stated functionality, securely retrieves the API key from environment variables or arguments, and directs all network traffic to `https://api.reelwords.ai`. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. File writing for downloaded videos is to a user-specified path, which is expected behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required env var (REELWORDS_API_KEY), and the included script all target ReelWords' caption API (api.reelwords.ai). No unrelated services, binaries, or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits actions to creating a caption job, polling status, and downloading the rendered video (or using the helper script). It only references the REELWORDS_API_KEY and an optional local OpenClaw config file for storing that key; it does not instruct reading unrelated files or exfiltrating data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only (no install spec) and therefore low risk, but the included Python script depends on the third-party 'requests' package while the skill only declares 'python3' as a required binary. The README does not provide an install step for Python dependencies (e.g., pip install requests).
Credentials
Only REELWORDS_API_KEY is requested, which is appropriate for the API usage described. No extra tokens, secrets, or unrelated environment variables are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (not force-included) and normal user-invocable/autonomous invocation defaults. The skill does not request elevated or cross-skill configuration changes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install video-captions-reelwords - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/video-captions-reelwords - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
