🧠 Narrator AI CLI Skill — Teach Your AI Agent to Create Movie Narration Videos
Install this Skill in your AI agent (OpenClaw, Windsurf, WorkBuddy, etc.), then just say "create a movie narration video" — the AI handles the rest.
What is this?
A machine-readable skill file (SKILL.md) that teaches AI agents how to use the narrator-ai-cli tool for automated video narration production.
You say: "Create a narration video for Pegasus in a comedy style"
AI executes: Search movie → Select template → Choose BGM → Pick voice → Generate script → Compose video → Return download link
How CLI and Skill work together
| CLI (command-line tool) | Skill (capability description) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A set of executable commands | Instructions that teach AI how to use those commands |
| Analogy | Kitchen tools | A recipe book |
| Works alone? | Yes, in terminal manually | No, requires CLI |
In short: CLI is the hands. Skill is the brain. Together, the AI agent can produce videos end-to-end.
Quick Start
Step 1: Install the CLI tool
pip install "narrator-ai-cli @ git+https://github.com/NarratorAI-Studio/narrator-ai-cli.git"
See narrator-ai-cli for detailed installation options.
Step 2: Configure API key
narrator-ai-cli config set app_key <your_app_key>

Step 3: Install the Skill
The skill consists of SKILL.md and the references/ directory — both are required. Clone the repo directly into your agent's skills folder:
OpenClaw:
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills
git clone https://github.com/NarratorAI-Studio/narrator-ai-cli-skill.git \
~/.openclaw/skills/narrator-ai-cli
Windsurf / Claude Code:
mkdir -p /path/to/your/project/.skills
git clone https://github.com/NarratorAI-Studio/narrator-ai-cli-skill.git \
/path/to/your/project/.skills/narrator-ai-cli
Cursor:
mkdir -p /path/to/your/project/.cursor/rules
git clone https://github.com/NarratorAI-Studio/narrator-ai-cli-skill.git \
/path/to/your/project/.cursor/rules/narrator-ai-cli
Any markdown-reading agent:
mkdir -p /path/to/agent/skills
git clone https://github.com/NarratorAI-Studio/narrator-ai-cli-skill.git \
/path/to/agent/skills/narrator-ai-cli
WorkBuddy / QClaw (Tencent):
Upload SKILL.md and the entire references/ folder through the skill management UI, keeping the directory structure intact (references/ must remain a subfolder alongside SKILL.md — do not flatten the files).
💡 Tip: To update the skill later, just run
git pullinside the cloned directory.
Step 4: Start talking!
Once installed, use natural language:
- "Create a narration video for The Shawshank Redemption"
- "Show me what movies are available"
- "Make 5 narration videos for different action movies"
- "Use a comedy template and generate a narration"
