videoagent-video-studio Skill (Pexo) for Claude: What It Does and How to Install It

Makes Claude generate short AI videos from text or images by running a Node script that calls a hosted video proxy.

Installs: 10.5K; on skills.sh
Stars: 817; on GitHub
Files: 22; besides SKILL.md
Updated: Aug 2026; last repo commit

This skill picks text-to-video or image-to-video, expands your prompt and runs node tools/generate.js, which returns a video URL. SKILL.md lists 7 model backends (minimax, kling, veo, hunyuan, pixverse, grok and seedance) and lets the proxy choose when you do not.

It says it needs zero API keys by default. The script sends your prompt, and any image URL, to a hosted proxy at video-gen-proxy.vercel.app, and fetches a free-tier token from it. You can point it at your own proxy instead.

Good for

Marketers who need short clips from a text description
Creators animating a still image
Developers comparing video models behind one command
Teams that want to host their own video proxy

Install videoagent-video-studio

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the videoagent-video-studio skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

/plugin marketplace add pexoai/pexo-skills
/plugin install pexo@pexo

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Pick one route. The plugin route installs the pexo plugin: 7 skills listed in marketplace.json (pexo-agent, videoagent-video-studio, videoagent-image-studio, videoagent-audio-studio, videoagent-director, seedance-2.0-prompter and veo-3.2-prompter). INSTALL.md says pexo-agent is set up with a Pexo API key in ~/.pexo/config, which this skill does not use. Install the whole skill folder, since SKILL.md runs tools/generate.js. Node.js is needed.

Watch out for

Your prompts go to a hosted proxy whose operator is not named
tools/generate.js defaults to https://video-gen-proxy.vercel.app. SKILL.md, the skill README and generate.js do not say who runs it, so treat it as a third party. It receives your prompt, duration, aspect ratio and any image URL. Avoid private text or image links, or set VIDEO_STUDIO_PROXY_URL to a proxy you run from the proxy/ folder. github.com
Your own proxy uses your video API key
The proxy README says FAL_KEY is required for the deployment, so generations through your proxy run on that key. Set limits in the deployment. github.com
It gets a free-tier token by itself
With no VIDEO_STUDIO_TOKEN set, the script requests a token from the proxy on each run. The README lists free-tier limits per token and per IP. github.com
The plugin route adds six more skills
The pexo plugin lists seven skills. One of them, pexo-agent, is set up with a Pexo API key in ~/.pexo/config per INSTALL.md. The skills CLI route installs only this skill. github.com

Technical details

Turning on read-only	No read-only mode. Each generation request goes to the proxy.
Talks to	video-gen-proxy.vercel.app (default proxy, hard-coded in tools/generate.js). The proxy URL you set in VIDEO_STUDIO_PROXY_URL, if any
Sign-in and keys	No key by default. VIDEO_STUDIO_TOKEN, if you set it, is sent as a Bearer token to the proxy.
Scopes	Claude can run node tools/generate.js The script posts your prompt, duration, aspect ratio and any image URL to a proxy The script posts to /api/token on the proxy to get a free-tier token when VIDEO_STUDIO_TOKEN is unset

Questions

How do I install videoagent-video-studio?

Use the install box at the top of this page. It shows the pexo plugin route from the repo's INSTALL.md and a skills CLI command for this skill. You need Node.js.

What does the videoagent-video-studio skill do?

It lets Claude generate short AI videos from text or an image. Claude improves your prompt, runs the Node script and sends you the video URL.

Do I need an API key?

SKILL.md says zero API keys by default, because requests go through a hosted proxy. The script fetches a free-tier token on its own. The README gives the free-tier limits as 100 generations per token per day and 3 tokens per IP per day.

Where do my prompts go?

To the proxy at video-gen-proxy.vercel.app, the default in tools/generate.js. The skill's files do not say who operates it. Set VIDEO_STUDIO_PROXY_URL to use your own proxy, and do not put private text or private image URLs in a prompt for the hosted one.

How long and what shape are the videos?

The default is 5 seconds at 16:9. SKILL.md lists aspect ratios of 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4, and typical lengths of 4 to 10 seconds.

videoagent-video-studio or pexo-agent?

This skill runs one script against a proxy. The repo README describes pexo-agent as the full agent that does multi-shot videos with post-production, and INSTALL.md says it is set up with a Pexo API key.

Is it safe?

Claude runs a Node script that sends your prompt, and any image URL, to a hosted proxy whose operator the skill's files do not name, and returns a link. The folder also holds a deployable proxy and test scripts. Read the permissions note before you use private material.
