Reel to Skill

Use this when the user provides a TikTok/Instagram Reel/X video/short-form video link and wants a skill from it.

Workflow

  1. Download the video locally with scripts/download_transcribe.py.
  2. Transcribe the audio.
  3. Extract the repeatable procedure, decision rules, examples, and caveats.
  4. Create a skill folder under skills/\x3Cskill-name>/.
  5. Keep SKILL.md concise and procedural.
  6. Do not hardcode API keys, cookies, tokens, or user secrets into the skill.

Script

Run:

python3 skills/reel-to-skill/scripts/download_transcribe.py "\x3Curl>" --out /tmp/reel-skill

The script uses:

  • yt-dlp for downloading
  • ffmpeg for audio extraction
  • OpenAI transcription if OPENAI_API_KEY is available

If transcription is unavailable, extract frames and ask the user for a transcript or use available audio tooling.

Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable running yt-dlp and ffmpeg on user-selected video URLs. If OPENAI_API_KEY is set, the extracted audio will be sent to OpenAI for transcription; unset the key to avoid that. Always review the generated skill before using it because it is derived from untrusted video content.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: reel-to-skill Version: 1.0.0 The skill is designed to automate the conversion of social media videos into OpenClaw skills by downloading content via `yt-dlp` and transcribing audio using the OpenAI API. The script `scripts/download_transcribe.py` uses safe subprocess calls (passing arguments as a list rather than a shell string) and correctly handles the `OPENAI_API_KEY` by sending it only to the official OpenAI transcription endpoint. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or command injection vulnerabilities was found.

Capability Assessment
ℹ Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose matches the artifacts: download a user-provided short-video URL, extract/transcribe audio, analyze the workflow, and create an OpenClaw skill. The local commands and optional provider transcription are expected for that purpose.
ℹ Instruction Scope
Use is scoped to cases where the user provides a social-video link and wants a skill from it. Because the resulting skill is derived from untrusted video/transcript content, users should review the generated SKILL.md before relying on it.
ℹ Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and metadata declares no required binaries, but the script expects yt-dlp and ffmpeg to already be available. This is a setup/provenance note rather than suspicious behavior.
ℹ Credentials
The script optionally uses OPENAI_API_KEY and uploads the extracted audio to OpenAI for transcription. This is disclosed and proportionate to the transcription feature.
ℹ Persistence & Privilege
The workflow creates a new skill folder under skills/<skill-name>/, which is expected for a skill-generation tool but creates persistent agent instructions that should be reviewed.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install reel-to-skill
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /reel-to-skill
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
