Video Captioning by ReelWords
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
The skill coherently uses ReelWords to caption videos and shows no hidden or purpose-mismatched behavior, but it does require an API key and sends video job data to an external service.
This appears safe to install if you trust ReelWords and are comfortable sending your video URLs and caption preferences to its API. Keep the API key private, monitor account usage or credits, review the included Python helper before running it, and choose a non-sensitive output path for downloaded videos.

Your ReelWords API key may be used to create caption jobs, retrieve job status, download outputs, and potentially consume credits.
The skill needs a ReelWords API key to create and retrieve caption jobs. This is expected for the service, but it gives the agent account-backed API authority when invoked.
Provide the API key to the process as `REELWORDS_API_KEY`... Auth header is `x-api-key: <token>`.
Use a dedicated or limited ReelWords key if available, store it securely, monitor usage, and rotate the key if it is exposed.
Video URLs and caption job metadata leave your local environment and are processed by ReelWords.
The skill clearly discloses that video URLs, caption preferences, and result links are exchanged with the ReelWords API.
Base URL: `https://api.reelwords.ai`... `videoUrl` (required)... `result.downloadUrl`
Only use video URLs and content you are comfortable sharing with ReelWords, and treat returned signed download URLs as potentially sensitive.
You have less external provenance information for the skill package, even though the provided helper code is reviewable.
The skill includes local helper code but does not provide a source repository or homepage. The included code is visible and no remote install is instructed, so this is a provenance note rather than a concern.
Source: unknown; Homepage: none; No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill.
Review the included script before running it and obtain any needed Python dependencies from trusted sources.
If an existing file path is chosen for output, the helper may overwrite it with the downloaded video.
The helper can write a downloaded video to a user-specified local path. This is purpose-aligned and user-directed, but users should choose the output path carefully.
p.add_argument("--out", default=None, help="If set, download the rendered video to this path")... with open(out_path, "wb") as f:Use a safe, explicit output filename and avoid pointing `--out` at important existing files.
