narrator-ai-cli Skill

You have access to narrator-ai-cli, a CLI tool for the Narrator AI video narration API. Always use --json flag for all commands to get structured output you can parse.

Prerequisites

The CLI must be configured before use. Check with:

narrator-ai-cli config show

If not configured, set up with:

narrator-ai-cli config set app_key <app_key>

Server defaults to https://openapi.jieshuo.cn — no need to configure.

Core Rules

1. ALWAYS use --json for all commands. Parse the JSON output to extract values for next steps.
2. NEVER fabricate data — never guess file IDs, movie info, or voice IDs. Always query from CLI commands.
3. ASK user to choose when there are multiple options (pre-built vs custom, which template, which movie, etc.).
4. Poll task status — tasks are async. After creation, poll with narrator-ai-cli task query <task_id> --json until status is 2 (success) or 3 (failed).
5. video-composing order_num source differs by path:
   • Standard Path: use generate-writing's task_order_num (NOT clip-data's)
   • Fast Path: use fast-clip-data's task_order_num
6. dubbing list returns id and type — pass id as dubbing, pass type as dubbing_type. They are two separate fields.
7. negative_oss_key = video_oss_key — always set negative_oss_key to the same value as video_oss_key in episodes_data.
8. search-movie may take 60+ seconds — this is normal (Gradio backend).

Decision Points (ASK USER)

Before starting any workflow, you need to help the user make the following choices. Present the options and let the user decide. Do NOT pick for them.

Decision 1: Which workflow path?

ASK: "请选择工作流路径："

• 二创文案: 爆款学习 → 生成解说文案 → 生成剪辑数据 → 合成视频 → 视觉模板(可选)
  • Based on existing reference video style, generates adapted narration
  • Suitable when: user wants to recreate content based on reference material
• 原创文案 (faster & cheaper): 快速文案 → 快速剪辑数据 → 合成视频 → 视觉模板(可选)
  • Generates original narration from movie info + narration template
  • Three sub-modes: 热门影视(hot drama), 原声混剪(original mix), 冷门/新剧(new drama)
  • Suitable when: user wants original narration, faster speed, lower cost

Decision 2: Narration style — pre-built template or custom learning?

ASK: "解说风格：使用预置模板还是自定义学习？"

• Option A: Pre-built template (recommended, 90+ templates across 12 genres)

  narrator-ai-cli task narration-styles --json
  # or filter: narrator-ai-cli task narration-styles --genre <genre> --json
  

  Show the list to user, let them pick one. The id field is the learning_model_id.

• Option B: Custom learning (popular-learning task, Standard Path only) Requires user to provide a reference video + SRT. The output learning_model_id is used in generate-writing.

Decision 3: Movie source files — pre-built material or user upload?

ASK: "电影素材：使用预置素材还是自己上传的文件？"

• Option A: Pre-built materials (93 movies ready to use)

  narrator-ai-cli material list --json
  # or search: narrator-ai-cli material list --search "<movie_name>" --json
  # or filter: narrator-ai-cli material list --genre <genre> --json
  

  Show results to user. Each entry has video_id and srt_id.

  • Use video_id as video_oss_key AND negative_oss_key
  • Use srt_id as srt_oss_key

• Option B: User's uploaded files

  narrator-ai-cli file list --json
  # or search: narrator-ai-cli file list --search "<keyword>" --json
  # or transfer by link: narrator-ai-cli file transfer --link "<url>" --json
  

  User picks video and SRT files from their cloud storage.

Decision 4: BGM — pre-built track or user upload?

ASK: "背景音乐：使用预置BGM还是自己上传的音频？"

• Option A: Pre-built BGM (146 tracks)

  narrator-ai-cli bgm list --json
  # or search: narrator-ai-cli bgm list --search "<keyword>" --json
  

  Show results to user. The id field is the bgm parameter value.

• Option B: User's uploaded audio

  narrator-ai-cli file list --json
  

  User picks an audio file. Use its file_id as the bgm parameter.

Decision 5: Dubbing voice — which voice and language?

ASK: "配音角色：请选择配音语言和角色"

# First show available languages
narrator-ai-cli dubbing languages --json

# Then list voices for chosen language
narrator-ai-cli dubbing list --lang <language> --json

# Or filter by genre recommendation
narrator-ai-cli dubbing list --tag <genre_tag> --json

Show results to user. From the selected voice:

• id field → pass as dubbing parameter
• type field → pass as dubbing_type parameter

There is no "custom upload" option for dubbing — always pick from the pre-built list. (Users can create custom voices via voice-clone task separately.)

Decision 6: Visual template (optional)?

ASK: "是否需要应用视觉模板？（可选步骤）"

• Yes: Pick a template

  narrator-ai-cli task templates --json
  

  Show results to user, let them pick. The name field goes into template_name list.
• No: Skip magic-video step.

Workflow Path 1: 二创文案

popular-learning(optional) -> generate-writing -> clip-data -> video-composing -> magic-video(optional)

Step 1: Get learning_model_id

Based on Decision 2:

# Option A: Pre-built template (recommended)
narrator-ai-cli task narration-styles --json
# -> user picks one -> learning_model_id = selected item's "id"

# Option B: Custom learning
narrator-ai-cli task create popular-learning --json -d '{
  "video_srt_path": "<srt_file_id from material or file list>",
  "video_path": "<video_file_id from material or file list>"
}'
# Poll until done -> extract learning_model_id from results

Step 2: Generate Writing

# 2a. Search movie info (for confirmed_movie_json / story_info)
narrator-ai-cli task search-movie "<movie_name>" --json
# Show 3 results to user, let them pick one

# 2b. Get source files (based on Decision 3)
# Option A: narrator-ai-cli material list --search "<movie_name>" --json
# Option B: narrator-ai-cli file list --json
# -> user picks video and SRT files

# 2c. Create task
narrator-ai-cli task create generate-writing --json -d '{
  "learning_model_id": "<from step 1>",
  "learning_srt": "",
  "native_video": "",
  "native_srt": "",
  "playlet_name": "<movie_name>",
  "playlet_num": "1",
  "target_platform": "抖音",
  "vendor_requirements": "",
  "task_count": 1,
  "target_character_name": "<ASK user for main character name>",
  "story_info": "",
  "episodes_data": [{"video_oss_key": "<video_id>", "srt_oss_key": "<srt_id>", "negative_oss_key": "<video_id>", "num": 1}]
}'
# Poll -> extract task_order_num and results.file_ids[0]

Step 3: Generate Clip Data

# 3a. Get BGM (based on Decision 4)
# Option A: narrator-ai-cli bgm list --json -> user picks -> bgm = selected "id"
# Option B: narrator-ai-cli file list --json -> user picks audio -> bgm = selected "file_id"

# 3b. Get dubbing voice (Decision 5)
# narrator-ai-cli dubbing list --lang <lang> --json -> user picks
# -> dubbing = selected "id", dubbing_type = selected "type"

# 3c. Create task
narrator-ai-cli task create clip-data --json -d '{
  "order_num": "<task_order_num from step 2>",
  "bgm": "<from Decision 4>",
  "dubbing": "<id from Decision 5>",
  "dubbing_type": "<type from Decision 5>"
}'
# Poll -> extract results.file_ids[0]

Step 4: Video Composing

IMPORTANT: order_num is from step 2 (generate-writing), NOT step 3 (clip-data).

narrator-ai-cli task create video-composing --json -d '{
  "order_num": "<task_order_num from step 2 (generate-writing)>",
  "bgm": "<same bgm as step 3>",
  "dubbing": "<same dubbing as step 3>",
  "dubbing_type": "<same dubbing_type as step 3>"
}'
# Poll -> extract video URLs from results

Step 5 (Optional): Magic Video

Based on Decision 6:

# List visual templates
narrator-ai-cli task templates --json
# -> user picks template name

# Apply template
narrator-ai-cli task create magic-video --json -d '{
  "task_id": "<task_id from step 4>",
  "template_name": ["<selected template name>"]
}'

Workflow Path 2: 原创文案 (faster & cheaper)

search-movie -> fast-writing -> fast-clip-data -> video-composing -> magic-video(optional)

Step 0: Prepare

# Get narration style template (Decision 2)
narrator-ai-cli task narration-styles --json
# -> user picks one -> learning_model_id

# Search movie info (required for target_mode=1)
narrator-ai-cli task search-movie "<movie_name>" --json
# -> show 3 results, user picks one -> confirmed_movie_json

Step 1: Fast Writing (原创文案)

ASK user to choose a mode:

• Mode 1 - 热门影视 (Hot Drama): generates original narration from movie info. Requires confirmed_movie_json from search-movie.
• Mode 2 - 原声混剪 (Original Mix): mixes original audio with narration. Requires episodes_data[{srt_oss_key, num}].
• Mode 3 - 冷门/新剧 (New/Niche Drama): for lesser-known content. Requires episodes_data[{srt_oss_key, num}].

# Mode 1 example (most common):
narrator-ai-cli task create fast-writing --json -d '{
  "learning_model_id": "<from Decision 2>",
  "target_mode": "1",
  "playlet_name": "<movie_name>",
  "model": "flash",
  "language": "Chinese (中文)",
  "perspective": "third_person",
  "confirmed_movie_json": <user-selected search result>
}'

# Mode 2/3 example:
narrator-ai-cli task create fast-writing --json -d '{
  "learning_model_id": "<from Decision 2>",
  "target_mode": "2",
  "playlet_name": "<movie_name>",
  "episodes_data": [{"srt_oss_key": "<srt_file_id>", "num": 1}]
}'
# Poll -> extract task_id and results.file_ids[0]

Step 2: Fast Clip Data

# 2a. Get BGM (Decision 4)
# Option A: narrator-ai-cli bgm list --json -> user picks
# Option B: narrator-ai-cli file list --json -> user picks audio

# 2b. Get dubbing voice (Decision 5)
# narrator-ai-cli dubbing list --lang <lang> --json -> user picks

# 2c. Get source files (Decision 3)
# Option A: narrator-ai-cli material list --search "<movie_name>" --json
# Option B: narrator-ai-cli file list --json

# 2d. Create task
narrator-ai-cli task create fast-clip-data --json -d '{
  "task_id": "<task_id from step 1>",
  "file_id": "<results.file_ids[0] from step 1>",
  "bgm": "<from Decision 4>",
  "dubbing": "<id from Decision 5>",
  "dubbing_type": "<type from Decision 5>",
  "episodes_data": [{"video_oss_key": "<video_id>", "srt_oss_key": "<srt_id>", "negative_oss_key": "<video_id>", "num": 1}]
}'
# Poll -> extract task_order_num

Step 3: Video Composing

IMPORTANT: In 原创文案 path, order_num comes from fast-clip-data's task_order_num.

narrator-ai-cli task create video-composing --json -d '{
  "order_num": "<task_order_num from step 2 (fast-clip-data)>",
  "bgm": "<same bgm as step 2>",
  "dubbing": "<same dubbing as step 2>",
  "dubbing_type": "<same dubbing_type as step 2>"
}'
# Poll -> extract video URLs from results

Step 4 (Optional): Magic Video

Based on Decision 6:

narrator-ai-cli task templates --json
# -> user picks template

narrator-ai-cli task create magic-video --json -d '{
  "task_id": "<task_id from step 3>",
  "template_name": ["<selected template name>"]
}'
