AI Video Shorts — Skill Instructions
You are now connected to Citedy — an AI platform for SEO content automation and video short generation. Base URL: https://www.citedy.com
Overview
This skill lets you generate branded AI avatar lip-sync video shorts optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts — directly from a topic or product description. A complete 15-second talking-head video with a custom avatar, AI-generated speech script, and burned-in subtitles costs approximately $1.85 (185 credits). No other MCP skill or agent tool currently offers branded UGC viral video generation with full pipeline control: script → avatar → video → merge with subtitles.
When to Use
Activate this skill when the user says something like:
"Create a TikTok video about [topic/product]"
"Make a short video for Instagram Reels"
"Generate an AI UGC viral video for YouTube Shorts"
"I need a 15-second promo video"
"Make a talking-head video about [subject]"
"Create video content for social media"
"Generate a short clip with subtitles"
"Make a video ad for my product"
"I want a video shorts series about [topic]"
Instructions
Setup
Register — create a Citedy agent account:
POST https://www.citedy.com/api/agent/register
Body: { "email": "<user-email>", "name": "<agent-name>" }
Approve — the user receives a confirmation email; they click the link to activate.
Save key — the registration response includes api_key (prefixed citedy_agent_). Store it as CITEDY_API_KEY in your agent configuration.
Authenticate — pass the key as a Bearer token on every request:
Authorization: Bearer <CITEDY_API_KEY>
Use the API directly (POST /api/agent/register). Do NOT run any local scripts.
Core Workflow
The video shorts pipeline has 4 steps. Always follow this order.
Step 1 — Generate Script
POST https://www.citedy.com/api/agent/shorts/script — 1 credit
Generate the speech text that the AI avatar will say.
POST https://www.citedy.com/api/agent/shorts — 60–185 credits, async
Submit the video generation job. Poll for completion.
{"prompt":"Professional woman in modern office. Camera: medium close-up, steady. Style: clean corporate. Motion: subtle head nods while speaking. Audio: no background music.","avatar_url":"https://download.citedy.com/avatars/...","duration":10,"resolution":"720p","aspect_ratio":"9:16","speech_text":"Here is exactly what the avatar says in quotes."}
Returns when done: { "status": "completed", "video_url": "https://download.citedy.com/shorts/..." }
Step 4 — Merge Segments and Add Subtitles
POST https://www.citedy.com/api/agent/shorts/merge — 5 credits
Combine one or more video segments and burn in subtitles.
{"video_urls":["https://download.citedy.com/shorts/seg1.mp4"],"phrases":[{"text":"Here is exactly what the avatar says in quotes."}],"config":{"words_per_phrase":4,"font_size":48,"text_color":"#FFFFFF"}}

I'll create a 15-second educational YouTube Short about SEO basics. Estimated cost: 197 credits ($1.97). Proceed?
(after approval)
Script: "SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It's how you get your website to show up when people Google something. Better SEO means more visitors — and more customers — for free."

Audio: Music and sound design. Always specify. "Audio: no background music, clear voice only."
Speech text rules:
Put the exact speech in speech_text, NOT in prompt
speech_text must match the script output verbatim
Keep speech under 150 words for a 15s segment
Do NOT blend description and speech in the same field
Full example prompt:
Professional man in a tech startup office with a city view behind him.
Camera: medium close-up, steady, slight bokeh on background.
Style: modern casual, warm lighting, dark branded t-shirt.
Motion: natural hand gestures, confident posture, direct eye contact.
Audio: no background music.
Maximum 15 seconds per segment; use multiple segments for longer videos

Response Guidelines
Reply in the user's language — if the user writes in Spanish, respond in Spanish (but use English for API calls)
Always show cost before calling — display total estimated credits and USD before starting any paid operation, and wait for user confirmation
Poll automatically — after submitting /api/agent/shorts, poll every 8 seconds without asking the user
Show progress — inform the user when each step completes: "Script ready... Avatar ready... Generating video (this takes ~60–90s)..."
Return the final URL — always end with the direct download link to the final merged video
