Security Scan

The skill's instructions clearly rely on the CellCog SDK and an API key, but the registry metadata does not declare those dependencies or required environment variables — this mismatch is a coherence issue you should resolve before installing.

Purpose & Capability

The skill's name and description (Seedance / CellCog video generation) match the SKILL.md content: it instructs the agent to use the CellCog SDK to orchestrate Seedance and other models. However, the SKILL.md frontmatter lists a dependency 'cellcog' and the text requires setting CELLCOG_API_KEY, but the registry metadata lists no required env vars or declared dependency — an inconsistency.

Instruction Scope

The runtime instructions are focused on creating video tasks via the CellCog client and on install/auth steps. They do not instruct the agent to read arbitrary files or exfiltrate unrelated data. One item to note: examples use notify_session_key values (e.g., 'agent:main:main') which cause interaction with agent sessions — expected for an orchestration skill but worth confirming intended behavior.

Install Mechanism

This is an instruction-only skill (no install spec), so nothing is automatically downloaded by the skill itself. The SKILL.md tells users to run '/cellcog-setup', 'clawhub install cellcog', or 'pip install -U cellcog' — normal for an SDK-based integration, but installing third‑party pip packages runs code from PyPI and should be vetted separately.

Credentials

SKILL.md explicitly tells users to set CELLCOG_API_KEY (and references authentication/setup flows), but the registry metadata declares no required environment variables or a primary credential. The skill will need at least one API key to function; the omission is a mismatch that could confuse users and hide a credential requirement.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always:true and does not claim elevated persistence. Autonomous invocation is allowed (default) which is normal for skills; nothing in the file attempts to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings.

What to consider before installing

Before installing or enabling this skill: 1) Ask the publisher to correct the registry metadata to declare the 'cellcog' dependency and a required primary env var (e.g., CELLCOG_API_KEY) so you know what credentials are needed. 2) Only provide an API key you control and understand the billing/privacy implications — the skill calls an external video-generation service and will upload prompt/content. 3) Review the 'cellcog' SDK (pip package) source or verify publisher trustworthiness before running pip install, since packages execute code at install time. 4) Confirm how notify_session_key/agent modes are used so you know which agent sessions get notifications or outputs. 5) If you have low tolerance for data leakage, test the integration in an isolated account/project with limited credentials or a throwaway API key first.

Seedance Cog - Seedance × CellCog

Seedance × CellCog. ByteDance's #1 video model meets the frontier of multi-agent coordination.

Seedance generates the smoothest motion in AI video — cinematic 1080p with physics that look real. CellCog orchestrates it with scripting, voice synthesis, lipsync, scoring, and editing to produce complete videos from a single prompt. Not just clips — full productions.

How to Use

For your first CellCog task in a session, read the cellcog skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.

OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)

All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):

from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
print(result["message"])

CellCog Video Orchestration

CellCog doesn't just generate video clips — it orchestrates a full production pipeline:

Script Writing → Scene Planning → Frame Generation → Voice Synthesis
     → Lipsync → Background Music → Sound Design → Editing → Final Output

6-7 foundation models work together in a single request:

• Seedance for video generation
• Frontier LLMs for scripting
• TTS models for voice synthesis
• Lipsync models for speaker alignment
• Music generation for scoring
• Automated editing for pacing and transitions

Tips for Better Videos

1. Describe the story: "A video about our app" → "A 60-second video showing a stressed founder discovering our app, their workflow transforming, ending with them confidently presenting to investors"

2. Specify duration: "30-second social ad" vs. "2-minute explainer" sets the pacing.

3. Set the mood: "Upbeat and energetic", "calm and professional", "dramatic and cinematic"

4. Mention music preferences: "Uplifting corporate background", "lo-fi beats", "cinematic orchestral" — or let CellCog choose.

5. For spokesperson videos: Describe the presenter's appearance and tone of voice.

If CellCog is not installed

Run /cellcog-setup (or /cellcog:cellcog-setup depending on your tool) to install and authenticate. OpenClaw users: Run clawhub install cellcog instead. Manual setup: pip install -U cellcog and set CELLCOG_API_KEY. See the cellcog skill for SDK reference.
