Summary

AI video generation and management for Sora models with character references, editing, and batch workflows.

  • Supports video creation, editing, extension, character reference uploads, and asset downloads (video/thumbnail/spritesheet) via bundled CLI with structured prompt augmentation
  • Defaults to sora-2 model; supports sora-2-pro for higher fidelity and larger resolutions up to 1920x1080
  • Handles async job polling, local multi-job queues, and official Batch API planning for offline rendering pipelines
  • Enforces content guardrails: no real people, copyrighted material, or content unsuitable for under-18 audiences; requires OPENAI_API_KEY and Sora API access

Sora Video Generation Skill

Creates or manages Sora video jobs for the current project (product demos, marketing spots, cinematic shots, social clips, UI mocks). Defaults to sora-2 with structured prompt augmentation and prefers the bundled CLI for deterministic runs. Note: $sora is a skill tag in prompts, not a shell command.

When to use

  • Generate a new video clip from a prompt
  • Create a reusable character reference from a short non-human source clip
  • Edit an existing generated video with a targeted prompt change
  • Extend a completed video with a continuation prompt
  • Poll status, list jobs, or download assets (video/thumbnail/spritesheet)
  • Run a local multi-job queue now, or plan a true Batch API submission for offline rendering

Decision tree

  • If the user has a short non-human reference clip they want to reuse across shots → create-character
  • If the user has a completed video and wants the next beat/continuation → extend
  • If the user has a completed video and wants a targeted change while preserving the shot → edit
  • If the user has a video id and wants status or assets → status, poll, or download
  • If the user needs many renders immediately inside Codex → create-batch (local fan-out, not the Batch API)
