It gives Codex, Claude, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw and other MCP clients one interface for building dry-run payloads and, when explicitly enabled, generating vertical video through Sora/OpenAI, Gemini Veo, xAI/Grok and Seedance/PiAPI-style providers. Use it when an agent needs one safe interface for prompt-to-video payload validation and optional paid generation across multiple providers. ## Why It Is Agent-First Video generation can be expensive and prompt-sensitive. This package makes agents start with safe steps: - inspect provider readiness - return privacy boundaries - build payloads without spending credits - require `--live` or `SHORT_VIDEO_DRY_RUN=false` before provider calls - keep prompts and outputs in local user-controlled paths ## Install ```bash npm install -g short-video-agent-kit ``` Or run directly: ```bash npm exec --yes --package=short-video-agent-kit -- short-video-agent-kit doctor ``` ## Quickstart No API key needed to try it — generation is dry-run by default, so the kit returns the exact provider-neutral plan it *would* send without spending a credit. Build a Sora plan for an 8-second vertical teaser: ```bash short-video-agent-kit generate \ --provider openai_sora \ --prompt "Vertical 8-second product teaser for a minimalist water bottle, soft studio light, slow dolly-in" \ --output ./output/teaser.mp4 ``` Real output (no provider call, no credits spent): ```json { "ok": true, "dry_run": true, "next_step": "Pass --live or set SHORT_VIDEO_DRY_RUN=false to call the provider API.", "provider": "openai_sora", "endpoint": "POST /v1/videos", "payload": { "model": "sora-2", "prompt": "Vertical 8-second product teaser for a minimalist water bottle, soft studio light, slow dolly-in", "seconds": "8", "size": "720x1280" } } ``` Same prompt, different provider — the plan re-targets the endpoint and parameter shape for you. `payload` returns just the plan (no `dry_run` wrapper): ```bash short-video-agent-kit payload --provider gemini_veo --prompt "Same teaser, 9:16, cinematic" ``` ```json { "provider": "gemini_veo", "endpoint": "POST /models/{model}:predictLongRunning", "payload": { "instances": [ { "prompt": "Same teaser, 9:16, cinematic" } ], "parameters": { "aspectRatio": "9:16", "durationSeconds": 8 } } } ``` Check which providers are wired up (keys are detected, never printed): ```bash short-video-agent-kit doctor ``` ```json { "ok": false, "dry_run": true, "providers": { "openai_sora": { "configured": false, "env_keys": ["OPENAI_API_KEY"], "models": ["sora-2"] }, "gemini_veo": { "configured": false, "env_keys": ["GEMINI_API_KEY", "GOOGLE_API_KEY"], "models": ["veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview"] }, "xai_grok": { "configured": false, "env_keys": ["XAI_API_KEY"], "models": ["grok-imagine-video", "grok-imagine-image"] }, "seedance_piapi": { "configured": false, "env_keys": ["PIAPI_KEY", "SEEDANCE_API_KEY"], "models": ["seedance-2-fast-preview"] } }, "output_dir": "./output", "next_steps": [ "Set one provider key: OPENAI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, XAI_API_KEY or PIAPI_KEY." ] } ``` When you are ready to actually render, set a provider key and re-run `generate` with `--live` (or `SHORT_VIDEO_DRY_RUN=false`). ## CLI ```bash short-video-agent-kit manifest --client codex short-video-agent-kit doctor short-video-agent-kit privacy-audit short-video-agent-kit payload --provider gemini_veo --prompt-file prompt.txt short-video-agent-kit generate --provider openai_sora --prompt "Vertical product teaser" --output ./output/teaser.mp4 short-video-agent-kit generate --provider openai_sora --prompt-file prompt.txt --output ./output/teaser.mp4 --live ``` Supported providers: - `openai_sora` - `gemini_veo` - `xai_grok` - `seedance_piapi` ## MCP ```bash short-video-mcp ``` HTTP transport: ```bash SHORT_VIDEO_MCP_TRANSPORT=http short-video-mcp ``` Hermes-style config: ```yaml mcp_servers: short_video: command: npx args: ["-y", "short-video-agent-kit"] sampling: enabled: false ``` Recommended first calls: 1. `short_video_connection_status` 2. `short_video_privacy_audit` 3. `short_video_build_payload` 4. `short_video_generate` ## Agent Surfaces | Tool | Purpose | |---|---| | `short_video_agent_manifest` | Install/runtime guidance for Codex, Claude, Cursor, Hermes and OpenClaw | | `short_video_connection_status` | Provider readiness without API keys | | `short_video_privacy_audit` | Prompt, output and reference-asset boundaries | | `short_video_build_payload` | Provider-specific payload without paid generation | | `short_video_generate` | Dry-run by default, live only when explicitly requested | ## Copy-Paste Agent Prompt ```text Use short-video-agent-kit. First call short_video_connection_status and short_video_privacy_audit. Build the payload before generation. Only set live=true if I explicitly confirm a paid provider call. ``` ## Configuration Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill only the provider keys you plan to use. `.env`, `output/` and `.agent-data/` are ignored by Git. ## Safety Model - Dry-run is the default. - API keys are never returned by tools. - Paid generation requires `--live`, MCP `live=true`, or `SHORT_VIDEO_DRY_RUN=false`. - Reference images must be user-owned or licensed. - Outputs are written to local paths controlled by the user. ## Development ```bash npm install npm test npm run check ``` --- ## 📧 Contact & Support - 📨 **support@delx.ai** — general questions, integration help, partnerships - 🐛 **Bug reports / feature requests** — [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/davidmosiah/short-video-agent-kit/issues) - 🐦 **Updates** — [@delx369](https://x.com/delx369) on X - 🌐 **Site** — [wellness.delx.ai](https://wellness.delx.ai)
