README (SKILL.md)
Live Photo Maker
- Take a local video file as input.
- If needed, make an optimized version for iPhone wallpaper use:
- upscale gently with
ffmpeg - keep portrait aspect ratio
- avoid aggressive recompression unless necessary
- upscale gently with
- Extract a high-quality cover frame as JPG.
- Use
makeliveto build a.pvtLive Photo package from the JPG + video pair. - If the user needs chat delivery, package the
.pvtbundle as ZIP because.pvtis a macOS package directory and many messengers cannot send it directly. - Explain that the ZIP should be unzipped on macOS and the
.pvtimported into Photos.
Main features
- turns a local video into an Apple Photos-importable Live Photo
- can optimize video size for iPhone wallpaper use
- generates a high-quality cover frame automatically
- produces a
.pvtpackage and optional ZIP for transfer - works well for iPhone lock-screen wallpaper workflows
Notes
- Install missing dependencies yourself when safe:
pipx,makelive,ffmpeg. - The video quality inside the Live Photo usually stays close to the source. Perceived softness is often caused by low source resolution or lock-screen scaling.
- Prefer sending both the original Live package path and the ZIP when useful.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: convert a local video into a .pvt Live Photo package. Before installing/using it, ensure you run it locally and have the needed host tools installed: ffmpeg (for transcoding/frame extraction), makelive (to create the .pvt), and ditto (macOS-only tool used to zip the package). Note the package is macOS-oriented — ditto and importing into Photos assume macOS. The skill metadata currently omits the required binaries and OS guidance; treat that as an informational mismatch. If you are concerned about supply-chain risk, inspect or obtain makelive from a trusted source (pipx/pypi or the project's repo) before installing. Also confirm output paths to avoid accidental overwrites of important files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the implementation: the script uses ffmpeg to transcode and extract a frame, makelive to build a .pvt package, and ditto to create a ZIP. However, the skill metadata declared no required binaries while the script requires ffmpeg, makelive, and ditto (the latter is macOS-specific). This mismatch should be corrected so users know what must be present.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to operate only on a local video, generate an optimized MP4 and JPG cover, run makelive, and ZIP the package for transfer. It does not direct reading unrelated files, accessing environment variables, or sending data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only) and the included shell script is small and local. SKILL.md suggests installing ffmpeg, makelive, and pipx but does not pull code from arbitrary URLs or run downloads; risk from install mechanism is low.
Credentials
The skill requests no credentials or environment variables and the runtime script does not read any secret-bearing env vars or config paths.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. It runs only when invoked and does not request elevated or persistent privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install live-photo-maker - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/live-photo-maker - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
