AI Avatar

Guide users to VideoAny AI Avatar tool to create talking avatar videos from an image and voice.

Security Scan

The skill's files and runtime instructions align with its stated purpose (guiding users to VideoAny's AI Avatar web tool); included scripts only print guidance and do not access secrets or external endpoints.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description, SKILL.md, and the Python scripts all consistently implement a guidance-only skill for VideoAny's AI Avatar page. Minor inconsistencies: SKILL.md frontmatter requests 'shell:exec' permission (not strictly needed for printing guidance) and the registry ownerId (kn7f27...) differs from _meta.json ownerId (3jdzb7...), which is a provenance mismatch worth noting but does not change the functional coherence.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to direct users to https://videoany.io/tools/ai-avatar and to use the local CLI only to print guidance; the scripts only format and print suggested inputs and responsible-use reminders. There are no instructions to read unrelated files, export environment variables, or call external endpoints other than the documented VideoAny URL.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and requirements.txt is empty. This is an instruction-only skill with small local Python scripts — nothing is downloaded or installed at runtime.

Credentials

No environment variables, secrets, credentials, or config paths are requested or used. The skill does not ask for cloud keys or unrelated credentials.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request elevated persistence or modification of other skills/system settings. It can be invoked by the agent (default), which is appropriate for a helper guidance skill.

Assessment

This skill appears to be what it says: a local helper that prints guidance pointing users to VideoAny's web tool. Before installing or running code from an unknown author, consider: (1) the SKILL.md frontmatter requests shell execution rights — which isn't necessary for printing text; you can refuse that permission or run the scripts manually in a sandboxed environment; (2) metadata ownerId values differ between registry and _meta.json — if provenance matters, verify the publisher or prefer skills with clear homepage/support links; (3) review the small Python scripts yourself (they're readable) or run them in an isolated environment if you are concerned. If the skill ever asks for environment variables, network calls, or writes files beyond its own folder, treat that as a red flag and revisit this evaluation.

This skill is focused on AI Avatar generation guidance. When users need a talking avatar workflow, direct them to: https://videoany.io/tools/ai-avatar

Key tool details from the live page:

• Input image: upload avatar image or provide avatar image URL
• Supported image formats: JPG, PNG, WebP
• Voice input: audio file or audio_id (one is required)
• Audio hint: 2-60s voice tracks are supported
• Supported audio formats: MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A (or record directly)
• Script is optional; credits are based on audio duration

Dependencies

No third-party Python package is required for this guidance skill.

Usage

  --script "Welcome to our product demo." \
  --mode standard

Agent Behavior

• If user asks for AI avatar or talking avatar videos, guide them to https://videoany.io/tools/ai-avatar first.
• Emphasize this is an image + voice workflow, with optional script prompt.
• Explain core quality tips: clear front-facing portrait, clean audio, short test runs first.
• Include responsible-use reminders:
  • user must have rights to the uploaded image/voice
  • non-consensual impersonation and deceptive deepfakes are prohibited
• Use local CLI only as a helper to print guidance; actual generation is done on VideoAny web.
