What it does
The `book-sales-video` skill walks an agent through a whole short-video workflow about a book. There are two routes: from a title the agent writes original copy, or it takes finished copy from a Feishu table. It then verifies facts about the book, splits the text into semantic shots, voices it in one pass with Doubao TTS and searches Pexels for an opening clip. The result is a draft in local OpenChatCut where every image, caption and sound stays a separate editable item. Subtitles are bilingual, and the title and author stay on screen to the end. A human reviews once, after the text and storyboard; after that the skill runs without questions.
Who it is for. Book bloggers and short-video makers working in Chinese who release many book videos and want one repeatable template.
Good fit when
- A blogger gets a new book weekly and wants a recommendation clip fast.
- The copy already sits in a Feishu table and only voice and visuals remain.
- Subtitles are needed in two languages, broken by meaning groups.
- A finished voiceover should become a timeline that is edited by hand afterwards.
Not a fit when
- You want a plain book review without video.
- You have no access to Doubao, Pexels or WeChat Read.
- Video is assembled in another editor, not in OpenChatCut.
Example request
Use $book-sales-video: make a clip about this book, show the copy and storyboard first, and after I approve build the draft in OpenChatCut.Limitations
The chain depends on external services: Python with `requests`, FFmpeg, a Pexels key, Doubao TTS setup, the WeChat Read skill and OpenChatCut Desktop; Feishu adds `lark-cli` with read-only access. Copy, voiceover and interface are Chinese. Images come from the Codex image generator. Keep keys in the system keychain or a secure store, never in chat or Git. Installation is manual; there is no `npx` command. The last commit is from August 2026, so service APIs may have drifted.
How to disable. Delete the `book-sales-video` folder from `$CODEX_HOME/skills` and revoke the Pexels, Doubao and lark-cli credentials.
FAQ
What does check_environment.py verify?
Installed programs, commands, API settings and Feishu read access. Gaps appear in the `actions` field, and secrets never appear in output.
How many times does it ask for confirmation?
Once, after the finished copy and storyboard. Voice, images, subtitles and assembly then run without questions.
What if Feishu holds several records for the book?
It asks you to choose one and never takes the first by default.
How many voiceover files are produced?
One: `audio/narration.wav`. Shot, subtitle and sound timing follow its real duration.
Is there a package installer?
No, the README clones the repository and copies the folder into the Codex skills directory.
