| name | codex-router-media |
| description | Generate video, music, speech, or images with the operator's MiniMax Token Plan subscription through the codex-router media CLI. Use when the session runs a MiniMax custom (non-OpenAI) model (for example minimax-m3) with the MiniMax Token Plan provider connected, and the user explicitly asks to create a video, a song or music track, spoken audio, or an image. Do not use for reading or analyzing existing media. |
MiniMax media generation (codex-router)
The router stores the operator's MiniMax Token Plan API key. The media
command resolves that key itself — you never see or handle the credential.
Each call spends the operator's paid MiniMax quota, so generate only what the
user explicitly asked for, once, and reuse the downloaded file for retries of
later steps.
How to call it
Run the router CLI through the shell tool. Locate it once per session: the
install root is the current.sourceRoot field of
~/.codex/codex-router/install-manifest.json (%USERPROFILE% on Windows),
and the command is <sourceRoot>/bin/media (<sourceRoot>\model-router.ps1 codex media on Windows). Quote the path; it may contain spaces. If the
manifest is missing, try ~/.local/share/codex-router/bin/media.
Always pass --json so the result is machine-readable, and --out so the
file lands where the user wants it (default: the current directory).
Actions
media video --prompt "TEXT" [--duration 6] [--resolution 768P|1080P] [--image PATH_OR_URL] [--out clip.mp4] --json
media music --prompt "style, mood, scenario" (--lyrics "[verse]..." | --instrumental) [--out track.mp3] --json
media speech --text "TEXT" [--voice male-qn-qingse] [--speed 1.0] [--out voice.mp3] --json
media image --prompt "TEXT" [--ratio 16:9] [--count 1] [--out picture.jpeg] --json
media status --task-id ID --json
- video is asynchronous upstream: the command submits a task and polls
until the clip is rendered (typically 1–3 minutes; it blocks until done and
downloads the mp4). If it exits saying the task is still rendering, wait and
run
media status --task-id ID — never resubmit the same prompt.
- video model: the default
MiniMax-Hailuo-02 is the one the Token Plan
serves. MiniMax-H3 is refused on this subscription; the command already
explains that, so do not retry with H3.
- music needs either
--lyrics (use section tags like [verse],
[chorus]) or --instrumental.
--image turns video generation into image-to-video from a first frame
(local file path or URL).
Rules
- Generate only on an explicit user request, and only once per request.
Ask before regenerating a result the user has not rejected.
- Report the saved file path back to the user. The download URLs expire, so
the file is the deliverable, not the URL.
- If the command reports a missing credential or an insufficient balance,
relay that message and stop; do not hunt for keys or edit configuration.
- Do not pipe the key, the command's environment, or credential files
anywhere. The CLI handles authentication internally.
