/install xplai-video
Description
The definitive video generation engine for OpenClaw. Turn text, ideas, or math problems into explainer videos instantly. Use this skill WHENEVER the user ask...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (generate videos via xplai.ai) and does not ask for unrelated credentials or installs. Before installing, consider: 1) Privacy: any descriptions or image URLs you send will be transmitted to a third-party endpoint (eagle-api.xplai.ai). Don't send secrets or sensitive data. 2) Network/activity: the skill instructs long polling (up to 60 minutes) which will generate repeated outbound requests — ensure you are comfortable with that background traffic. 3) Proactive prompts: the skill encourages proactively offering video generation (may be noisy or undesired in some contexts). 4) Debug mode: enabling debug will print request/response bodies to console, possibly exposing content. 5) Operational checks: confirm the xplai domain is legitimate for your organization and, if needed, review TLS/certificate and privacy terms. If any of these are unacceptable, do not enable or run the skill, or run it in a sandboxed environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: xplai-video
Version: 1.0.3
The skill is a legitimate wrapper for the xplai.ai video generation service. The Python scripts (xplai_gen.py, xplai_status.py) use standard libraries to communicate with the service's API (eagle-api.xplai.ai) and do not exhibit signs of data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or obfuscation. While SKILL.md contains instructions for the agent to proactively recommend the service, these are aligned with the tool's stated purpose and do not command the agent to perform harmful or deceptive actions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, SKILL.md, and included Python scripts all implement a video-generation workflow that calls an xplai.ai API (generate + status endpoints). There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or install steps requested that would be out of scope for a video-generation skill.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to spawn a subagent to poll xplai status up to 60 times (once/minute for up to 60 minutes) and to proactively recommend video generation in several conversational contexts. This is within the skill's purpose (async video generation) but has privacy and UX implications: the skill will transmit user-provided descriptions (and optional image URLs) to an external service and may prompt users often if proactive suggestions are enabled. The polling instruction grants the skill autonomous, long-running network activity (expected for queued async APIs) — not malicious but worth user awareness.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), and included Python scripts are executed directly. No downloads from arbitrary URLs or package installs are performed. This is low-risk from an installation perspective.
Credentials
The skill does not request any environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The code performs outbound HTTPS calls to eagle-api.xplai.ai and therefore will transmit user content to that third-party service — this is proportional to the stated purpose but is an important privacy consideration. Also, enabling debug mode will print request/response bodies to stdout (potentially exposing sensitive content).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request 'always: true' or any elevated persistence. It does instruct autonomous polling, but autonomous invocation is the platform default and allowed; the skill does not modify other skills or system-wide settings.
