Adscene Video Editor
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 14, 2026.
Overview
This looks like a remote video-editing API skill, but its included README describes a different background-replacement skill and references missing code, so it needs review before use.
Review this skill before installing. Verify that the publisher fixes the README/SKILL mismatch and supplies any referenced code, do not fetch a missing handler.ts from an untrusted location, use a restricted API key, and test broad autonomous edits on non-critical video projects first.
Findings (5)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
A user could believe they are installing a narrow chroma-key/background tool when the active skill instructions expose broad video editing and export capabilities.
This README presents the package as a background-replacement skill, while SKILL.md presents a much broader autonomous video editor. The mismatch can mislead users about the scope of actions the skill may perform.

Reconcile the README, skill name, endpoints, and advertised capabilities before installation; users should verify the actual SKILL.md behavior rather than relying on the README.
Installation instructions may fail or cause users to source and run code that was not included in the reviewed artifacts.
The README instructs users to copy a handler.ts file and install a dependency, but the provided manifest contains no handler.ts and the registry says there is no install spec or code files. Following these docs could push users toward unreviewed missing code.
cp handler.ts ~/.openclaw/skills/background-replacement/ ... npm install axios
Publish a complete, consistent package or remove stale handler/dependency instructions; do not fetch or add a missing handler.ts from an untrusted source.
A vague prompt could result in multiple edits to a project, including deleting or replacing layers or generating exports.
The skill intentionally gives one free-form tool authority to perform multi-step editing actions, including project mutation and export. This is purpose-aligned for a video editor, but broad.
Pass a natural-language description in `params.prompt`... plans a DAG of canonical actions, executes through the safety gates... Insert / update / replace / delete layers... `EXPORT_VIDEO`
Use explicit prompts, test on copies of projects, and require user confirmation for destructive edits or final exports where possible.
Anyone with the key may be able to access or modify video projects allowed by that API credential.
The skill uses a bearer API key to authenticate to the configured Adscene API. This is expected for the integration, but it is sensitive authority.
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer {ADSCENE_API_KEY}`Use a least-privilege API key, keep it in environment configuration only, and rotate it if exposed.
Video project details and editing instructions may be processed by the configured service.
Prompts, project identifiers, and optional scene data are sent to a configured remote API endpoint. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it involves project data leaving the local agent.
POST {ADSCENE_API_URL}/api/v1/misc/openclaw/v1/execute ... "params": { ... }, "project_id": "optional-project-id", "scene": { ... }Set ADSCENE_API_URL only to a trusted endpoint and avoid sending confidential project data unless the provider’s handling is acceptable.
