Output#

Each run produces:

• {title}.mp4 — Final video file
• {title}.txt — Script/lyrics
• {title}_meta.json — YouTube metadata (title, desc, tags)
• {title}_assets/ — Audio segments, temp files

Security Notes#

This skill intentionally accesses:

• ELEVENLABS_API_KEY from environment (for TTS API calls)
• External HTTPS requests to api.elevenlabs.io (text-to-speech service)
• Subprocess execution of ffmpeg (video assembly)

These behaviors are required for core functionality and are declared in SKILL.md metadata.
