Description
Skip the learning curve of professional editing software. Describe what you want — trim the intro silence, add my name as a lower-third, and export for email...
README (SKILL.md)

Getting Started

Send me your recorded video clips and I'll handle the AI video messaging. Or just describe what you're after.

Try saying:

  • "convert a 30-second webcam recording into a 1080p MP4"
  • "trim the intro silence, add my name as a lower-third, and export for email sharing"
  • "sending personalized video messages to clients or colleagues for sales reps, remote workers, marketers"

Automatic Setup

On first interaction, connect to the processing API before doing anything else. Show a brief status like "Setting things up...".

Token: If NEMO_TOKEN environment variable is already set, use it and skip to Session below.

Free token: Generate a UUID as client identifier, then POST to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token with header X-Client-Id: \x3Cuuid>. The response field data.token becomes your NEMO_TOKEN (100 credits, 7-day expiry).

Session: POST to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with Bearer auth and body {"task_name":"project"}. Save session_id from the response.

Confirm to the user you're connected and ready. Don't print tokens or raw JSON.

Video Messages — Record, Edit and Share Messages

Send me your recorded video clips and describe the result you want. The AI video messaging runs on remote GPU nodes — nothing to install on your machine.

A quick example: upload a 30-second webcam recording, type "trim the intro silence, add my name as a lower-third, and export for email sharing", and you'll get a 1080p MP4 back in roughly 20-40 seconds. All rendering happens server-side.

Worth noting: keep messages under 60 seconds for fastest processing and best viewer retention.

Matching Input to Actions

User prompts referencing video messages, aspect ratio, text overlays, or audio tracks get routed to the corresponding action via keyword and intent classification.

User says... Action Skip SSE?
"export" / "导出" / "download" / "send me the video" → §3.5 Export
"credits" / "积分" / "balance" / "余额" → §3.3 Credits
"status" / "状态" / "show tracks" → §3.4 State
"upload" / "上传" / user sends file → §3.2 Upload
Everything else (generate, edit, add BGM…) → §3.1 SSE

Cloud Render Pipeline Details

Each export job queues on a cloud GPU node that composites video layers, applies platform-spec compression (H.264, up to 1080x1920), and returns a download URL within 30-90 seconds. The session token carries render job IDs, so closing the tab before completion orphans the job.

Base URL: https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai

Endpoint Method Purpose
/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent POST Start a new editing session. Body: {"task_name":"project","language":"\x3Clang>"}. Returns session_id.
/run_sse POST Send a user message. Body includes app_name, session_id, new_message. Stream response with Accept: text/event-stream. Timeout: 15 min.
/api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/\x3Csid> POST Upload a file (multipart) or URL.
/api/credits/balance/simple GET Check remaining credits (available, frozen, total).
/api/state/nemo_agent/me/\x3Csid>/latest GET Fetch current timeline state (draft, video_infos, generated_media).
/api/render/proxy/lambda POST Start export. Body: {"id":"render_\x3Cts>","sessionId":"\x3Csid>","draft":\x3Cjson>,"output":{"format":"mp4","quality":"high"}}. Poll status every 30s.

Accepted file types: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac.

Headers are derived from this file's YAML frontmatter. X-Skill-Source is video-messages, X-Skill-Version comes from the version field, and X-Skill-Platform is detected from the install path (~/.clawhub/ = clawhub, ~/.cursor/skills/ = cursor, otherwise unknown).

Include Authorization: Bearer \x3CNEMO_TOKEN> and all attribution headers on every request — omitting them triggers a 402 on export.

Error Codes

  • 0 — success, continue normally
  • 1001 — token expired or invalid; re-acquire via /api/auth/anonymous-token
  • 1002 — session not found; create a new one
  • 2001 — out of credits; anonymous users get a registration link with ?bind=\x3Cid>, registered users top up
  • 4001 — unsupported file type; show accepted formats
  • 4002 — file too large; suggest compressing or trimming
  • 400 — missing X-Client-Id; generate one and retry
  • 402 — free plan export blocked; not a credit issue, subscription tier
  • 429 — rate limited; wait 30s and retry once

Reading the SSE Stream

Text events go straight to the user (after GUI translation). Tool calls stay internal. Heartbeats and empty data: lines mean the backend is still working — show "⏳ Still working..." every 2 minutes.

About 30% of edit operations close the stream without any text. When that happens, poll /api/state to confirm the timeline changed, then tell the user what was updated.

Translating GUI Instructions

The backend responds as if there's a visual interface. Map its instructions to API calls:

  • "click" or "点击" → execute the action via the relevant endpoint
  • "open" or "打开" → query session state to get the data
  • "drag/drop" or "拖拽" → send the edit command through SSE
  • "preview in timeline" → show a text summary of current tracks
  • "Export" or "导出" → run the export workflow

Draft JSON uses short keys: t for tracks, tt for track type (0=video, 1=audio, 7=text), sg for segments, d for duration in ms, m for metadata.

Example timeline summary:

Timeline (3 tracks): 1. Video: city timelapse (0-10s) 2. BGM: Lo-fi (0-10s, 35%) 3. Title: "Urban Dreams" (0-3s)

Common Workflows

Quick edit: Upload → "trim the intro silence, add my name as a lower-third, and export for email sharing" → Download MP4. Takes 20-40 seconds for a 30-second clip.

Batch style: Upload multiple files in one session. Process them one by one with different instructions. Each gets its own render.

Iterative: Start with a rough cut, preview the result, then refine. The session keeps your timeline state so you can keep tweaking.

Tips and Tricks

The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "trim the intro silence, add my name as a lower-third, and export for email sharing" — concrete instructions get better results.

Max file size is 500MB. Stick to MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI for the smoothest experience.

Export as MP4 for widest compatibility across email clients and messaging platforms.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears reasonable for cloud-based video editing. Before installing, make sure you are comfortable sending videos to Nemovideo's servers, using a NEMO_TOKEN or anonymous token, and relying on an external service with limited source/homepage metadata.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: video-messages Version: 1.0.0 The 'video-messages' skill is a functional integration for the NemoVideo AI service (mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai), enabling automated video editing and rendering. It manages authentication via the NEMO_TOKEN environment variable or an anonymous token generation flow and uses standard API endpoints for file uploads and processing. The instructions in SKILL.md are focused on task execution and session management, including explicit directions to avoid leaking tokens or raw JSON to the user.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The requested capabilities match the stated purpose: user-provided videos are edited/exported by a remote video-processing service.
Instruction Scope
The skill instructs the agent to create/connect a remote session automatically and map backend GUI-style responses into API calls, but this is scoped to the video-editing workflow.
Install Mechanism
There is no local code or install step to execute, but the source/homepage are not provided and the registry capability metadata is sparse.
Credentials
The environment access is mostly proportional: it uses network calls and user-supplied media uploads for cloud rendering, with no evidence of broad local file access.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill uses NEMO_TOKEN, anonymous tokens, session IDs, credits, and remote render jobs; no local persistence or background process is shown.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install video-messages
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /video-messages
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
