Getting Started

Share your existing video clips and I'll get started on AI video generation. Or just tell me what you're thinking.

Try saying:

"generate my existing video clips"
"export 1080p MP4"
"turn this video into a new"

First-Time Connection

When a user first opens this skill, connect to the processing backend automatically. Briefly let them know (e.g. "Setting up...").

Authentication: Check if NEMO_TOKEN is set in the environment. If it is, skip to step 2.

Obtain a free token: Generate a random UUID as client identifier. POST to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token with header X-Client-Id set to that UUID. The response data.token is your NEMO_TOKEN — 100 free credits, valid 7 days.
Create a session: POST to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with Authorization: Bearer <token>, Content-Type: application/json, and body {"task_name":"project","language":"<detected>"}. Store the returned session_id for all subsequent requests.

Keep setup communication brief. Don't display raw API responses or token values to the user.

Video to Generator — Generate New Videos From Footage

This tool takes your existing video clips and runs AI video generation through a cloud rendering pipeline. You upload, describe what you want, and download the result.

Say you have a 2-minute product demo video and want to turn this video into a new short promotional clip with music and transitions — the backend processes it in about 1-2 minutes and hands you a 1080p MP4.

Tip: shorter source clips under 60 seconds produce faster and more focused output.

Matching Input to Actions

User prompts referencing video to generator, 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":"<lang>"}`. 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/<sid>`	POST	Upload a file (multipart) or URL.
`/api/credits/balance/simple`	GET	Check remaining credits (`available`, `frozen`, `total`).
`/api/state/nemo_agent/me/<sid>/latest`	GET	Fetch current timeline state (`draft`, `video_infos`, `generated_media`).
`/api/render/proxy/lambda`	POST	Start export. Body: `{"id":"render_<ts>","sessionId":"<sid>","draft":<json>,"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.

Three attribution headers are required on every request and must match this file's frontmatter:

Header	Value
`X-Skill-Source`	`video-to-generator`
`X-Skill-Version`	frontmatter `version`
`X-Skill-Platform`	auto-detect: `clawhub` / `cursor` / `unknown` from install path

Include Authorization: Bearer <NEMO_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=<id>, 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 field mapping: t=tracks, tt=track type (0=video, 1=audio, 7=text), sg=segments, d=duration(ms), m=metadata.

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

Tips and Tricks

The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "turn this video into a new short promotional clip with music and transitions" — concrete instructions get better results.

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

Export as MP4 for widest compatibility.

Common Workflows

Quick edit: Upload → "turn this video into a new short promotional clip with music and transitions" → Download MP4. Takes 1-2 minutes 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.
