VideoClaw

Tells an agent how to start and call the VideoClaw backend and web frontend on localhost, check that the chosen model providers have API keys, and move a project through a staged flow with a user confirmation stop at each step (plot and visuals, model settings, script, characters and scenes, storyboard, reference images, video clips), ending with an editing step that joins the clips. The agent has to show each stage's output and wait for approval before continuing. Outside that flow it can call language, vision, image and video models one at a time, or run one-shot pipelines for artistic short videos, action transfer and digital-human talking videos. It needs the full VideoClaw project on the same machine, which the agent can set up and start, plus keys for the model providers you pick, such as DashScope, Volcengine ARK or Kling.

• 01From the README

  The install command quoted from the repository README.

  $ clawhub install video-clawCopy

• 02skills CLI, for Claude Code, Codex and others

  The open skills CLI from Vercel Labs installs a skill from a GitHub repo into the folder each agent expects. It asks which skills and which agents you want, and it installs for the current project unless you add the -g flag, which installs for your user account. Add --list to see what a repo contains before you install anything.

  $ npx skills add HITsz-TMG/VideoClawCopy

• 03Claude Code, skills folder

  Copy the skill's folder, the one that holds SKILL.md, into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every project on your machine, or into .claude/skills/ in a repository to use it there and share it by committing it. Claude Code picks up changes to these folders during a session. If the folder did not exist when the session started, run /reload-skills.

• 04Claude Code, plugin marketplace

  Some repos publish a plugin marketplace, a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json file. Add it in Claude Code, then install a plugin from it with /plugin install plugin-name@marketplace-name. Plugins can bundle hooks and MCP servers along with skills, so read the details panel before you confirm.

  $ /plugin marketplace add HITsz-TMG/VideoClawCopy

• 05Codex, skills folder or $skill-installer

  Codex reads skills from .agents/skills in your working folder and its parent folders up to the repository root, and from $HOME/.agents/skills for every repository. Copy the skill's folder into one of them, or run $skill-installer inside Codex and ask it to install from the repo. Codex detects new skills automatically and needs a restart only if one does not appear.

The first command is quoted from the author's README. The others are the standard ways to install a skill from a GitHub repository. They are templates and may not apply here, for example if the repo has no plugin marketplace, so follow the README first.
