Short Video Agent Kit

If this agent-first tool helps your workflow, please star the repo. Stars make this agent-first tooling easier for other builders to discover and help Delx keep shipping open infrastructure.

Provider-neutral short-form AI video toolkit for agents. 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

npm install -g short-video-agent-kit

Or run directly:

npm exec --yes --package=short-video-agent-kit -- short-video-agent-kit doctor

CLI

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

short-video-mcp

HTTP transport:

SHORT_VIDEO_MCP_TRANSPORT=http short-video-mcp

Hermes-style config:

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

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.
