Video Generation
Default path (minimize tool calls)
Do not read_file / ls this skill on every request. Do not run models.py unless handling fallback after failed.
python <skill_dir>/scripts/submit.py "<compact_json>" → get task_idpython <skill_dir>/scripts/poll_until_done.py <task_id> — one exec, timeout=600python <skill_dir>/scripts/download.py "<video_url>" "<short_name>" "" "<task_id>" — must pass task_id as 4th arg- Single
message(media) with local file path — see Silent policy
Exactly 4 tool calls. Do NOT add read_file, list_dir, write_file, or any other calls. Do NOT write your own scripts or call APIs directly — always use the provided .py scripts.
Image upload is automatic. When user sends an image for image-to-video, submit.py handles all URL resolution internally — no env vars or manual URL construction needed.
Nanobot limits: exec is capped at 600s per call. poll_until_done.py defaults to 540s internal wait. If it times out while still processing, run python <skill_dir>/scripts/poll_until_done.py <same_task_id> 480 again (vary the second arg so the command is not identical — do not re-submit). Consider raising agents.defaults.maxToolIterations in ~/.deskclaw/nanobot/config.json from 20 to 35–40 so long flows do not hit max iterations.
Silent policy
No user-visible status text until the final delivery: no "please wait", "polling", or intermediate narration. Only the final message() with media (and minimal content if required).
Token & URLs
- Token: auto from
~/.deskclaw/deskclaw-settings.json → authToken, or NODESTUDIO_TOKEN.
- NodeStudio base:
NODESTUDIO_URL (default https://nostudio-api.deskclaw.me).
- Naming: Models are Seedance 2.0 (
pro), Seedance 2.0 Fast (fast), and Seedance 1.5 Pro (1.5-pro).
Models (no pre-flight models.py)
| model_id | Name | Resolution | Duration | Ref imgs / vids / auds | Notes |
|---|
fast | Seedance 2.0 Fast | 480p / 720p | 4–15s | 9 / 3 / 3 | Default when user has no preference |
pro | Seedance 2.0 | 480p / 720p | 4–15s | 9 / 3 / 3 | Higher quality, slower |
1.5-pro | Seedance 1.5 Pro | 480p / 720p / 1080p | 4–12s | 2 / 0 / 0 | Supports 1080p |
Selection rules (in order):
- User explicitly names a model → use it.
- User asks for "best quality" / "highest" / "最好" / "最高画质" → use
pro.
- User asks for "1080p" or "高清" → use
1.5-pro (only model supporting 1080p).
- User has no preference → use
fast.
- If the chosen model fails, fall back:
fast → pro → 1.5-pro; only call models.py if all fail.
Do not run models.py before the first submit.py.
Build JSON (compact, no spaces after : or ,)
Required: prompt.
Image-to-video
When the user sends an image, the message contains . Pass the relative path as image_url:
{"prompt":"...","image_url":"media/agent_main_desk-xxx/abc123.jpg"}
submit.py automatically resolves local paths: public API → presign-upload to CDN; local API → gateway /files/.... Do not set DESKCLAW_GATEWAY_HOST, construct URLs, or retry with different env vars — the script handles everything.
Parameters
| Intent | Fields |
|---|
| Portrait | "aspect_ratio":"9:16" |
| Landscape | "16:9" (default) |
| Square / ultrawide | "1:1" / "21:9" |
| Duration | default 5 |
| No audio | "generate_audio":false |
| Resolution | "720p" or "480p" |
Submit
python <skill_dir>/scripts/submit.py "<json_body>"
Windows note: Use " (double quotes) for the JSON argument, with internal \" escaping. Single quotes do not work on Windows cmd.
Poll
python <skill_dir>/scripts/poll_until_done.py <task_id> [max_seconds]
- Default
max_seconds 540 (stays under 600s nanobot exec kill).
- Pass
exec(..., timeout=600).
- Do not run
poll.py in parallel with poll_until_done.py.
progress 50 while processing is normal (placeholder), not a stall.
Resume: If output contains poll_until_done_timeout and task not failed, re-run with same task_id and a different second arg (e.g. 400). Never duplicate the exact same command string (gateway may block).
Fallback (only on failed)
python <skill_dir>/scripts/models.py → pick next alias from list (fast → pro).submit.py again → poll_until_done.py new task_id.
Download
NANOBOT_SESSION_KEY='agent:main:desk-xxx' python <skill_dir>/scripts/download.py "<video_url>" "<short_name>" "" "<task_id>"
- 4th arg
task_id is required — enables re-poll for signed URL and API proxy fallback when CDN returns Access Denied.
- 3rd arg is output_dir (empty string
"" = auto from session key).
- Script saves to workspace
outputs/ and prints {"status":"ok","path":"..."}.
- If download fails, returns
{"status":"download_failed",...}.
Present (single message)
Silent until here. message({ "content": "…", "media": ["<local_path>"] }).
Critical rules:
media must contain the local file path returned by download.py (path field). Never put a remote URL in media.- Never put CDN URLs in
content — they are not publicly accessible and will show Access Denied to the user.
- If download failed, say "视频生成成功但下载失败，请稍后重试" in
content, leave media empty. Do NOT paste the raw URL.
- Model name: Use Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.0 Fast, or Seedance 1.5 Pro.
Error Handling
| Case | Action |
|---|
| 401/403 | Re-auth |
| 429 | 视频生成的积分已经用完了，请充值；如果充值后还无法使用，请联系管理员。 |
failed | Fallback above |
| Poll timeout | Resume poll_until_done.py same task_id, different max_seconds |
Rules
- Python scripts only:
submit.py, poll_until_done.py, poll.py, download.py, models.py (fallback only).
- Do NOT write custom scripts, Python files, or call APIs with
curl / urllib yourself.
- Do NOT
read_file the scripts — just exec() them.
- Do NOT set or change
DESKCLAW_GATEWAY_HOST — the scripts auto-detect the correct upload method.
- Do NOT call
mcp_deskclaw_restart_gateway — gateway restarts break the current session.
- If
submit.py returns an error about image upload, report it to the user and stop. Do not retry with different env vars.
- JSON compact in arguments.
