# IMA Video AI Creation
## ⚠️ MANDATORY PRE-CHECK: Read Knowledge Base First!
**If ima-knowledge-ai is not installed:** Skip all "Read …" steps below; use only this SKILL's default models and the **📥 User Input Parsing** tables for task_type, model_id, and parameters.
**BEFORE executing ANY video generation task, you MUST:**
1. **CRITICAL: Understand video modes** — Read `ima-knowledge-ai/references/video-modes.md`:
- **image_to_video** = first frame to video (输入图**成为第1帧**)
- **reference_image_to_video** = reference appearance to video (输入图是**视觉参考**,不是第1帧)
- These are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT concepts!
- Wrong mode choice = wrong result
2. **Check for visual consistency needs** — Read `ima-knowledge-ai/references/visual-consistency.md` if:
- User mentions: "系列"、"分镜"、"同一个"、"角色"、"续"、"多个镜头"
- Task involves: multi-shot videos, character continuity, scene consistency
- Second+ request about same subject (e.g., "旺财在游泳" after "生成旺财照片")
3. **Check workflow/model/parameters** — Read relevant `ima-knowledge-ai/references/` sections if:
- Complex multi-step video production
- Unsure which model to use
- Need parameter guidance (duration, resolution, reference strength)
**Why this matters:**
- AI video generation defaults to **独立生成** (independent generation) each time
- Without reference images, "same character/scene" will look completely different
- **Text-to-video CANNOT maintain visual consistency** — must use image-based modes
**Example failure case:**
```
User: "生成一只小狗,叫旺财"
→ You: generate dog image A
User: "生成旺财在游泳的视频"
→ ❌ Wrong: text_to_video "狗在游泳" (new dog, different from A)
→ ✅ Right: read visual-consistency.md + video-modes.md →
use image_to_video with image A as first frame
```
**How to check:**
```python
# Step 1: Read knowledge base
read("~/.openclaw/skills/ima-knowledge-ai/references/video-modes.md")
read("~/.openclaw/skills/ima-knowledge-ai/references/visual-consistency.md")
# Step 2: Identify if reference image needed
if "same subject" or "series" or "character continuity":
# Use image-based mode with previous result as reference
reference_image = previous_generation_result
# Choose mode based on requirement
if "reference becomes first frame":
use_image_to_video(prompt, reference_image)
else:
use_reference_image_to_video(prompt, reference_image, reference_strength=0.8)
else:
# OK to use text-to-video
use_text_to_video(prompt)
```
**No exceptions** — if you skip this check and generate visually inconsistent results, that's a bug.

## 📥 User Input Parsing (Model & Parameter Recognition)
**Purpose:** So that any agent (Claude or other models) parses user intent consistently, follow these rules when deriving **task_type**, **model_id**, and **parameters** from natural language. Do not guess — normalize first, then map.
### 1. User phrasing → task_type
| User intent / phrasing | task_type | Notes |
|------------------------|-----------|--------|
| Only text, no image | `text_to_video` | "生成一段…视频" / "text to video" |
| One image as **first frame** (图成为第1帧) | `image_to_video` | "把这张图动起来" / "用这张图做视频" / "图生视频" |
| One image as **reference** (视觉参考,非第1帧) | `reference_image_to_video` | "参考这张图生成" / "像这张风格/角色" |
| Two images (start + end) | `first_last_frame_to_video` | "首帧+尾帧" / "从A过渡到B" |
When in doubt: "把图动起来" / "图动" → `image_to_video`; "参考这张图" / "按这张风格" → `reference_image_to_video`.
### 2. Model name / alias → model_id (normalize then lookup)
Normalize user wording (case-insensitive, ignore spaces), then map to **model_id**:
| User says (examples) | For t2v → model_id | For i2v → model_id |
|----------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
| 万 / Wan / 万2.6 / wan2.6 | `wan2.6-t2v` | `wan2.6-i2v` |
| 可灵 / Kling / Kling O1 / 可灵O1 | `kling-video-o1` | `kling-video-o1` |
| Kling 2.6 / 可灵2.6 | `kling-v2-6` | `kling-v2-6` |
| 海螺 / Hailuo / 海螺2.3 | `MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3` | `MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3` |
| Hailuo 2.0 / 海螺2.0 | `MiniMax-Hailuo-02` | `MiniMax-Hailuo-02` |
| Vidu / Vidu Q2 | `viduq2` | (i2v: `viduq2-pro` for "Vidu Q2 Pro") |
| Veo / Google Veo / Veo 3.1 | `veo-3.1-generate-preview` | `veo-3.1-generate-preview` |
| Sora / Sora 2 Pro | `sora-2-pro` | `sora-2-pro` |
| Pixverse / Pixverse V5.5 | `pixverse` | `pixverse` |
| 最便宜 / 最省钱 / cheapest / budget | `viduq2` (5 pts) | `wan2.6-i2v` or per product list |
| 最好 / 最高质量 / best / premium | Prefer Kling O1 / Veo 3.1 | Same |
If the user names a model not in the table, match by **Name** in the "Supported Models" tables below and use its **model_id** for the chosen task_type.
### 3. User phrasing → duration / resolution / aspect_ratio
| User says (examples) | Parameter | Normalized value | Fallback if unsupported |
|----------------------|-----------|------------------|--------------------------|
| 5秒 / 5s / 5 second | duration | 5 | — |
| 10秒 / 10s | duration | 10 | — |
| 15秒 / 15s | duration | 15 | — |
| 1分钟 / 1 min | duration | — | Use 15 if model max is 15s; tell user "当前最长15秒" |
| 横屏 / 16:9 / 横向 | aspect_ratio | 16:9 | — |
| 竖屏 / 9:16 / 竖向 | aspect_ratio | 9:16 | — |
| 1:1 / 方形 | aspect_ratio | 1:1 | — |
| 720P / 720p | resolution | 720P | — |
| 1080P / 1080p / 高清 | resolution | 1080P | — |
| 4K / 4k | resolution | 4K | Only if model supports (e.g. Veo 3.1) |
If the user does not specify duration/resolution/aspect_ratio, use **form_config defaults** from the product list for the chosen model (e.g. 5s, 720P or 1080P, 16:9).

## ⚙️ How This Skill Works
**For transparency:** This skill uses a bundled Python script (`scripts/ima_video_create.py`) to call the IMA Open API. The script:
- Sends your prompt to IMA's servers (two domains, see below)
- Uses `--user-id` **only locally** as a key for storing your model preferences
- Returns a video URL when generation is complete
### 🌐 Network Endpoints Used
This skill connects to **two domains** owned by IMA Studio for complete functionality:
| Domain | Purpose | What's Sent | Authentication |
|--------|---------|-------------|----------------|
| `api.imastudio.com` | Main API (task creation, status polling) | Prompts, model params, task IDs | Bearer token (IMA API key) |
| `imapi.liveme.com` | Image upload service (OSS token generation) | Image files (for i2v/ref tasks), IMA API key | IMA API key + APP_KEY signature |
**Why two domains?**
- `api.imastudio.com`: IMA's video generation API (handles task orchestration)
- `imapi.liveme.com`: IMA's media storage infrastructure (handles large file uploads)
- Both services are **owned and operated by IMA Studio**
**Privacy implications:**
- Your IMA API key is sent to **both domains** for authentication
- Image files are uploaded to `imapi.liveme.com` to obtain CDN URLs (for image_to_video, first_last_frame_to_video, reference_image_to_video tasks)
- Video generation happens on `api.imastudio.com` using the CDN URLs
- For text_to_video tasks (no image input), only `api.imastudio.com` is contacted
**Security verification:**
```bash
# List all network endpoints in the code:
grep -n "https://" scripts/ima_video_create.py
# Expected output:
# 57: DEFAULT_BASE_URL = "https://api.imastudio.com"
# 58: DEFAULT_IM_BASE_URL = "https://imapi.liveme.com"
```
**If you're concerned about the two-domain architecture:**
1. Review IMA Studio's privacy policy at https://imastudio.com/privacy
2. Contact IMA technical support to confirm domain ownership: [email protected]
3. Use a test/scoped API key first (see security notice below)
### ⚠️ Credential Security Notice
**Your IMA API key is sent to TWO domains:**
1. `api.imastudio.com` — Main video generation API
2. `imapi.liveme.com` — Image upload service (only when using image-to-video tasks)
**Both domains are owned by IMA Studio**, but if you're concerned about credential exposure:
✅ **Best practices:**
- Use a **test/scoped API key** for initial testing (create at https://imastudio.com/api-keys)
- Set a low quota (e.g., 100 credits) for the test key
- Rotate your key after testing if needed
- Contact IMA support to confirm domain ownership: [email protected]
❌ **Do NOT:**
- Use a production key if you're uncomfortable with the two-domain architecture
- Share your API key with others
- Commit your API key to version control
**What gets sent to IMA servers:**
- ✅ Your video prompt/description
- ✅ Model selection (Wan/Hailuo/Kling/etc.)
- ✅ Video parameters (duration, resolution, etc.)
- ✅ Image files (for image-to-video tasks, uploaded to `imapi.liveme.com`)
- ✅ IMA API key (for authentication to both domains)
- ❌ NO user_id (it's only used locally)
**What's stored locally:**
- `~/.openclaw/memory/ima_prefs.json` - Your model preferences (< 1 KB)
- `~/.openclaw/logs/ima_skills/` - Generation logs (auto-deleted after 7 days)
### Agent Execution (Internal Reference)
> **Note for users:** You can review the script source at `scripts/ima_video_create.py` anytime.
> The agent uses this script to simplify API calls. Network requests go to two IMA Studio domains: `api.imastudio.com` (API) and `imapi.liveme.com` (image uploads).
Use the bundled script internally to ensure correct parameter construction:
```bash
# Text to video
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/ima_video_create.py \
--api-key $IMA_API_KEY \
--task-type text_to_video \
--model-id wan2.6-t2v \
--prompt "a puppy runs across a sunny meadow, cinematic" \
--user-id {user_id} \
--output-json
# Image to video
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/ima_video_create.py \
--api-key $IMA_API_KEY \
--task-type image_to_video \
--model-id wan2.6-i2v \
--prompt "camera slowly zooms in" \
--input-images https://example.com/photo.jpg \
--user-id {user_id} \
--output-json
# First-last frame to video
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/ima_video_create.py \
--api-key $IMA_API_KEY \
--task-type first_last_frame_to_video \
--model-id kling-video-o1 \
--prompt "smooth transition" \
--input-images https://example.com/first.jpg https://example.com/last.jpg \
--user-id {user_id} \
--output-json
```
The script outputs JSON — parse it to get the result URL and pass it to the user via the UX protocol messages below.
**🚨 CRITICAL: How to send the video to user (Feishu/Discord/IM)**
```python
# ✅ CORRECT: Use the remote URL directly
video_url = json_output["url"]
message(
action="send",
media=video_url, # Direct HTTPS URL → renders inline video player
caption="✅ 视频生成成功!\n• 模型:[Model Name]\n• 耗时:[X]s\n• 消耗积分:[N pts]"
)
# ❌ WRONG: Download to local file first
# curl -o /tmp/video.mp4 {video_url}
# message(media="/tmp/video.mp4") # Shows as file attachment (📎 path), NOT playable
```
**Why this matters:**
- ✅ Remote URL → Feishu renders inline video player with ▶ button
- ❌ Local file path → Feishu shows file attachment (📎 /tmp/...), not playable
**Always use the remote URL directly. Never download the video to local storage.**

## 🔒 Security & Transparency Policy
> **This skill is community-maintained and open for inspection.**
### ✅ What Users CAN Do
**Full transparency:**
- ✅ **Review all source code**: Check `scripts/ima_video_create.py` and `ima_logger.py` anytime
- ✅ **Verify network calls**: Network requests go to two IMA Studio domains: `api.imastudio.com` (API) and `imapi.liveme.com` (image uploads). See "🌐 Network Endpoints Used" section above for full details.
- ✅ **Inspect local data**: View `~/.openclaw/memory/ima_prefs.json` and log files
- ✅ **Control privacy**: Delete preferences/logs anytime, or disable file writes (see below)
**Configuration allowed:**
- ✅ **Set API key** in environment or agent config:
- Environment variable: `export IMA_API_KEY=ima_your_key_here`
- OpenClaw/MCP config: Add `IMA_API_KEY` to agent's environment configuration
- Get your key at: https://imastudio.com
- ✅ **Use scoped/test keys**: Test with limited API keys, rotate after testing
- ✅ **Disable file writes**: Make prefs/logs read-only or symlink to `/dev/null`
**Data control:**
- ✅ **View stored data**: `cat ~/.openclaw/memory/ima_prefs.json`
- ✅ **Delete preferences**: `rm ~/.openclaw/memory/ima_prefs.json` (resets to defaults)
- ✅ **Delete logs**: `rm -rf ~/.openclaw/logs/ima_skills/` (auto-cleanup after 7 days anyway)
### ⚠️ Advanced Users: Fork & Modify
If you need to modify this skill for your use case:
1. **Fork the repository** (don't modify the original)
2. **Update your fork** with your changes
3. **Test thoroughly** with limited API keys
4. **Document your changes** for troubleshooting
**Note:** Modified skills may break API compatibility or introduce security issues. Official support only covers the unmodified version.
### ❌ What to AVOID (Security Risks)
**Actions that could compromise security:**
- ❌ Sharing API keys publicly or in skill files
- ❌ Modifying API endpoints to unknown servers
- ❌ Disabling SSL/TLS certificate verification
- ❌ Logging sensitive user data (prompts, IDs, etc.)
- ❌ Bypassing authentication or billing mechanisms
**Why this matters:**
1. **API Compatibility**: Skill logic aligns with IMA Open API schema
2. **Security**: Malicious modifications could leak credentials or bypass billing
3. **Support**: Modified skills may not be supported
4. **Community**: Breaking changes affect all users
### 📋 Privacy & Data Handling Summary
**What this skill does with your data:**
| Data Type | Sent to IMA? | Stored Locally? | User Control |
|-----------|-------------|-----------------|--------------|
| Video prompts | ✅ Yes (required for generation) | ❌ No | None (required) |
| API key | ✅ Yes (authentication header) | ❌ No | Set via env var |
| user_id (optional CLI arg) | ❌ **Never** (local preference key only) | ✅ Yes (as prefs file key) | Change `--user-id` value |
| Model preferences | ❌ No | ✅ Yes (~/.openclaw) | Delete anytime |
| Generation logs | ❌ No | ✅ Yes (~/.openclaw) | Auto-cleanup 7 days |
**Privacy recommendations:**
1. **Use test/scoped API keys** for initial testing
2. **Note**: `--user-id` is **never sent to IMA servers** - it's only used locally as a key for storing preferences in `~/.openclaw/memory/ima_prefs.json`

### 🔧 For Skill Maintainers Only
**Version control:**
- All changes must go through Git with proper version bumps (semver)
- CHANGELOG.md must document all changes
- Production deployments require code review
**File checksums (optional):**
```bash
# Verify skill integrity
sha256sum SKILL.md scripts/ima_video_create.py
```
If users report issues, verify file integrity first.

## 🧠 User Preference Memory
> User preferences have **highest priority** when they exist. But preferences are only saved when users **explicitly express** model preferences — not from automatic model selection.
### Storage: `~/.openclaw/memory/ima_prefs.json`
```json
{
"user_{user_id}": {
"text_to_video": { "model_id": "wan2.6-t2v", "model_name": "Wan 2.6", "credit": 25, "last_used": "..." },
"image_to_video": { "model_id": "wan2.6-i2v", "model_name": "Wan 2.6", "credit": 25, "last_used": "..." },
"first_last_frame_to_video": { "model_id": "kling-video-o1", "model_name": "Kling O1", "credit": 48, "last_used": "..." },
"reference_image_to_video": { "model_id": "kling-video-o1", "model_name": "Kling O1", "credit": 48, "last_used": "..." }
}
}
```
### Model Selection Flow (Every Generation)
**Step 1: Get knowledge-ai recommendation** (if installed)
```python
knowledge_recommended_model = read_ima_knowledge_ai() # e.g., "Wan 2.6"
```
**Step 2: Check user preference**
```python
user_pref = load_prefs().get(f"user_{user_id}", {}).get(task_type) # e.g., {"model_id": "kling-video-o1", ...}
```
**Step 3: Decide which model to use**
```python
if user_pref exists:
use_model = user_pref["model_id"] # Highest priority
else:
use_model = knowledge_recommended_model or fallback_default
```
**Step 4: Check for mismatch (for later hint)**
```python
if user_pref exists and knowledge_recommended_model != user_pref["model_id"]:
mismatch = True # Will add hint in success message
```
### When to Write (User Explicit Preference ONLY)
**✅ Save preference when user explicitly specifies a model:**
| User says | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| `用XXX` / `换成XXX` / `改用XXX` | Switch to model XXX + save as preference |
| `以后都用XXX` / `默认用XXX` / `always use XXX` | Save + confirm: `✅ 已记住!以后视频生成默认用 [XXX]` |
| `我喜欢XXX` / `我更喜欢XXX` | Save as preference |
**❌ Do NOT save when:**
- Agent auto-selects from knowledge-ai → not user preference
- Agent uses fallback default → not user preference
- User says generic quality requests (see "Clear Preference" below) → clear preference instead
### When to Clear (User Abandons Preference)
**🗑️ Clear preference when user wants automatic selection:**
| User says | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| `用最好的` / `用最合适的` / `best` / `recommended` | Clear pref + use knowledge-ai recommendation |
| `推荐一个` / `你选一个` / `自动选择` | Clear pref + use knowledge-ai recommendation |
| `用默认的` / `用新的` | Clear pref + use knowledge-ai recommendation |
| `试试别的` / `换个试试` (without specific model) | Clear pref + use knowledge-ai recommendation |
| `重新推荐` | Clear pref + use knowledge-ai recommendation |
**Implementation:**
```python
del prefs[f"user_{user_id}"][task_type]
save_prefs(prefs)
```
---
## ⭐ Model Selection Priority
**Selection flow:**
1. **User preference** (if exists) → Highest priority, always respect
2. **ima-knowledge-ai skill** (if installed) → Professional recommendation based on task
3. **Fallback defaults** → Use table below (only if neither 1 nor 2 exists)
**Important notes:**
- User preference is only saved when user **explicitly specifies** a model (see "When to Write" above)
- Knowledge-ai is **always consulted** (even when user pref exists) to detect mismatches
- When mismatch detected → add gentle hint in success message (does NOT interrupt generation)
> The defaults below are FALLBACK only. User preferences have highest priority, then knowledge-ai recommendations.
> **Always default to the newest and most popular model. Do NOT default to the cheapest.**
| Task | Default Model | model_id | version_id | Cost | Why |
|------|--------------|----------|------------|------|-----|
| text_to_video | **Wan 2.6** | `wan2.6-t2v` | `wan2.6-t2v` | 25 pts | 🔥 Most popular, balanced cost |
| text_to_video (premium) | **Hailuo 2.3** | `MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3` | `MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3` | 38 pts | Higher quality |
| text_to_video (budget) | **Vidu Q2** | `viduq2` | `viduq2` | 5 pts | Lowest cost t2v |
| image_to_video | **Wan 2.6** | `wan2.6-i2v` | `wan2.6-i2v` | 25 pts | 🔥 Most popular i2v, 1080P |
| image_to_video (premium) | **Kling 2.6** | `kling-v2-6` | `kling-v2-6` | 40-160 pts | Premium Kling i2v |
| first_last_frame_to_video | **Kling O1** | `kling-video-o1` | `kling-video-o1` | 48 pts | Newest Kling reasoning model |
| reference_image_to_video | **Kling O1** | `kling-video-o1` | `kling-video-o1` | 48 pts | Best reference fidelity |
**Selection guide (production credits, sorted by popularity):**
- **🔥 Most popular text-to-video** → **Wan 2.6** (25 pts, balanced cost & quality)
- Premium text-to-video → **Hailuo 2.3** (38 pts, higher quality)
- Budget text-to-video → **Vidu Q2** (5 pts) or **Hailuo 2.0** (12 pts)
- **🔥 Most popular image_to_video** → **Wan 2.6** (25 pts)
- first_last_frame / reference → **Kling O1** (48 pts)
- User specifies cheapest → **Vidu Q2** (5 pts) — only if explicitly requested

## 🆕 Special Case: Pixverse Model Parameter (v1.0.7+)
**Auto-Inference Logic for Pixverse V5.5/V5/V4:**
- **Problem**: Pixverse V5.5, V5, V4 lack `model` field in `form_config` from Product List API
- **Backend Requirement**: Backend requires `model` parameter (e.g., `"v5.5"`, `"v5"`, `"v4"`)
- **Auto-Fix**: System automatically extracts version from `model_name` and injects it
- Example: `model_name: "Pixverse V5.5"` → auto-inject `model: "v5.5"`
- Example: `model_name: "Pixverse V4"` → auto-inject `model: "v4"`
- **Note**: V4.5 and V3.5 include `model` in `form_config` (no auto-inference needed)
- **Relevant Task Types**: All video modes (text_to_video, image_to_video, first_last_frame_to_video, reference_image_to_video)
**Error Prevention:**
- Without auto-inference: `err_code=400017 err_msg=Invalid value for model`
- With auto-inference (v1.0.7+): Pixverse V5.5/V5/V4 work seamlessly ✅
**Why This Matters:**
Some Pixverse models (V5.5/V5/V4) have inconsistent `form_config` in the Product List API response. The auto-inference ensures all Pixverse versions work correctly without requiring users to manually specify the `model` parameter.

### Step 1 — Pre-Generation Notification (with Cost Transparency)
**Before calling the create API**, send this message immediately:
```
🎬 开始生成视频,请稍候…
• 模型:[Model Name]
• 预计耗时:[X ~ Y 秒](约 [X/60 ~ Y/60] 分钟)
• 消耗积分:[N pts]
视频生成需要一定时间,我会每隔一段时间汇报进度 🙏
```
**Cost transparency (critical for video):**
- For balanced/default models (25 pts): "使用 Wan 2.6(25 积分,最新 Wan)"
- For premium models (>50 pts):
- If auto-selected: "使用 Wan 2.6(25 积分)。若需更高质量可选 Kling 2.1 Master(150 积分)"
- If user explicit: "使用高端模型 Kling 2.1 Master(150 积分),质量最佳"
- For budget (user explicit): "使用 Vidu Q2(5 积分,最省钱选项)"
> Adapt language to match the user. For expensive models (>50 pts), always mention cheaper alternatives unless user explicitly requested premium quality.
> Adapt language to match the user. English → `🎬 Starting video generation, this may take [X~Y] seconds. I'll update you on progress…`
---
### Step 2 — Progress Updates
Poll the task detail API every **8s**.
Send a progress update message every `[Send Progress Every]` seconds per the table above.
```
⏳ 视频生成中… [P]%
已等待 [elapsed]s,预计最长 [max]s
```
**Progress formula:**
```
P = min(95, floor(elapsed_seconds / estimated_max_seconds * 100))
```
- **Cap at 95%** — never show 100% until the API returns `success`
- If `elapsed > estimated_max`: keep P at 95% and append `「快了,稍等一下…」`
- Example: elapsed=120s, max=180s → P = min(95, floor(120/180*100)) = min(95, 66) = **66%**
- Example: elapsed=200s, max=180s → P = **95%**(冻结 + 「快了,稍等一下…」)
---
### Step 3 — Success Notification (Push video via message tool)
When task status = `success`:
**3.1 Send video player first** (Feishu will render inline player):
```python
# Get result URL from script output or task detail API
result = get_task_result(task_id)
video_url = result["medias"][0]["url"]
# Build caption
caption = f"""✅ 视频生成成功!
• 模型:[Model Name]
• 耗时:预计 [X~Y]s,实际 [actual]s
• 消耗积分:[N pts]
[视频描述]"""
# Add mismatch hint if user pref conflicts with knowledge-ai recommendation
if user_pref_exists and knowledge_recommended_model != used_model:
caption += f"""
💡 提示:当前任务也许用 {knowledge_recommended_model} 也会不错({reason},{cost} pts)"""
# Send video with caption
message(
action="send",
media=video_url, # ⚠️ Use HTTPS URL directly, NOT local file path
caption=caption
)
```
**Mismatch hint example:**
```
✅ 视频生成成功!
• 模型:Midjourney(你的偏好模型)
• 耗时:45s
• 消耗积分:8 pts
💡 提示:当前任务也许用 Wan 2.6 也会不错(写实风格更合适,25 pts)
[视频]
```
**Important:**
- Hint is **non-intrusive** — does NOT interrupt generation
- Only shown when user pref conflicts with knowledge-ai recommendation
- User can ignore the hint; video is already delivered
**3.2 Then send link as text** (for copying/sharing):
```python
# Send link message immediately after
message(
action="send",
message=f"""🔗 视频链接(方便复制分享):
{video_url}"""
)
```
**Critical:**
- Use the **remote HTTPS URL** directly as `media` parameter. Do NOT download to local file first.
- Send video first (for inline playback), then send link text (for copying/sharing).
> For Feishu: Direct video URL → inline video player with play button. Local file path → file attachment (📎 path).
---
### Step 4 — Failure Notification
When task status = `failed` or any API/network error, send:
```
❌ 视频生成失败
• 原因:[natural_language_error_message]
• 建议改用:
- [Alt Model 1]([特点],[N pts])
- [Alt Model 2]([特点],[N pts])
需要我帮你用其他模型重试吗?
```
**⚠️ CRITICAL: Error Message Translation**
**NEVER show technical error messages to users.** Always translate API errors into natural language.
**API key & credits:** 密钥与积分管理入口为 imaclaw.ai(与 imastudio.com 同属 IMA 平台)。Key and subscription management: imaclaw.ai (same IMA platform as imastudio.com).
| Technical Error | ❌ Never Say | ✅ Say Instead (Chinese) | ✅ Say Instead (English) |
|----------------|-------------|------------------------|------------------------|
| `401 Unauthorized` 🆕 | Invalid API key / 401 Unauthorized | ❌ API密钥无效或未授权<br>💡 **生成新密钥**: https://www.imaclaw.ai/imaclaw/apikey | ❌ API key is invalid or unauthorized<br>💡 **Generate API Key**: https://www.imaclaw.ai/imaclaw/apikey |
| `4008 Insufficient points` 🆕 | Insufficient points / Error 4008 | ❌ 积分不足,无法创建任务<br>💡 **购买积分**: https://www.imaclaw.ai/imaclaw/subscription | ❌ Insufficient points to create this task<br>💡 **Buy Credits**: https://www.imaclaw.ai/imaclaw/subscription |
| `"Invalid product attribute"` / `"Insufficient points"` | Invalid product attribute | 生成参数配置异常,请稍后重试 | Configuration error, please try again later |
| `Error 6006` (credit mismatch) | Error 6006 | 积分计算异常,系统正在修复 | Points calculation error, system is fixing |
| `Error 6010` (attribute_id mismatch) | Attribute ID does not match | 模型参数不匹配,请尝试其他模型 | Model parameters incompatible, try another model |
| `error 400` (bad request) | error 400 / Bad request | 视频参数设置有误,请调整时长或分辨率 | Video parameter error, adjust duration or resolution |
| `resource_status == 2` | Resource status 2 / Failed | 视频生成遇到问题,建议换个模型试试 | Video generation failed, try another model |
| `status == "failed"` (no details) | Task failed | 这次生成没成功,要不换个模型试试? | Generation unsuccessful, try a different model? |
| `timeout` | Task timed out / Timeout error | 视频生成时间过长已超时,建议用更快的模型 | Video generation took too long, try a faster model |
| Network error / Connection refused | Connection refused / Network error | 网络连接不稳定,请检查网络后重试 | Network connection unstable, check network and retry |
| Rate limit exceeded | 429 Too Many Requests / Rate limit | 请求过于频繁,请稍等片刻再试 | Too many requests, please wait a moment |
| Prompt moderation (Sora 2 Pro only) | Content policy violation | 提示词包含敏感内容(如人物),Sora 不支持,请换其他模型 | Prompt contains restricted content (e.g. people), Sora doesn't support it, try another model |
| Model unavailable | Model not available / 503 Service Unavailable | 当前模型暂时不可用,建议换个模型 | Model temporarily unavailable, try another model |
| Image upload failed (image_to_video only) | Image upload error | 输入图片处理失败,请检查图片格式或换张图 | Input image processing failed, check format or try another image |
| Duration/resolution not supported | Parameter not supported | 该模型不支持此时长或分辨率,请调整参数 | Model doesn't support this duration or resolution, adjust parameters |
**Generic fallback (when error is unknown):**
- Chinese: `视频生成遇到问题,请稍后重试或换个模型试试`
- English: `Video generation encountered an issue, please try again or use another model`
**Best Practices:**
1. **Focus on user action**: Tell users what to do next, not what went wrong technically
2. **Be reassuring**: Use phrases like "建议换个模型试试" instead of "生成失败了"
3. **Avoid blame**: Never say "你的提示词有问题" → say "提示词需要调整一下"
4. **Provide alternatives**: Always suggest 1-2 alternative models in the failure message
5. **Video-specific**:
- For Sora content policy errors, recommend Wan 2.6 or Kling O1 (more permissive)
- For timeout errors, recommend faster models (Vidu Q2, Hailuo 2.0)
- For image input errors, suggest checking image format (HTTPS URL, valid JPEG/PNG)
6. **🆕 Include actionable links (v1.0.8+)**: For 401/4008 errors, provide clickable links to API key generation or credit purchase pages
**🆕 Enhanced Error Handling (v1.0.8):**
The Reflection mechanism (3 automatic retries) now provides **specific, actionable suggestions** for common errors:
- **401 Unauthorized**: System suggests generating a new API key with clickable link
- **4008 Insufficient Points**: System suggests purchasing credits with clickable link
- **500 Internal Server Error**: Automatic parameter degradation (resolution: 1080P → 720P → 540P, duration: 15 → 10 → 5)
- **6009 No Rule Match**: Automatic parameter completion from credit_rules
- **6010 Attribute Mismatch**: Automatic credit_rule reselection
- **Timeout**: Helpful info with dashboard link for background task status
- **🆕 Pixverse Model Parameter (v1.0.7+)**: Auto-inference for missing `model` parameter (V5.5/V5/V4)
All error handling is **automatic and transparent** — users receive natural language explanations with next steps.
**Failure fallback table:**
| Failed Model | First Alt | Second Alt |
|-------------|-----------|------------|
| Kling 2.1 Master | Wan 2.6(3pts,速度快) | Hailuo 2.0(5pts) |

## ⚠️ MANDATORY: Always Query Product List First
> **CRITICAL**: You MUST call `/open/v1/product/list` BEFORE creating any task.
> The `attribute_id` field is REQUIRED in the create request. If it is `0` or missing, you get:
> `"Invalid product attribute"` → `"Insufficient points"` → task fails completely.
> **NEVER construct a create request from the model table alone. Always fetch the product first.**
### How to get attribute_id
```python
# Step 1: Query product list for the target category
GET /open/v1/product/list?app=ima&platform=web&category=text_to_video
# (or image_to_video / first_last_frame_to_video / reference_image_to_video)
# Step 2: Walk the V2 tree to find your model (type=3 leaf nodes only)
for group in response["data"]:
for version in group.get("children", []):
if version["type"] == "3" and version["model_id"] == target_model_id:
attribute_id = version["credit_rules"][0]["attribute_id"]
credit = version["credit_rules"][0]["points"]
model_version = version["id"] # = version_id
model_name = version["name"]
form_defaults = {f["field"]: f["value"] for f in version["form_config"]}
```
### Quick Reference: Known attribute_ids
⚠️ **Production warning**: `attribute_id` and `credit` values change frequently. Always call `/open/v1/product/list` at runtime; table below is pre-queried reference (2026-02-27).
| Model | Task | model_id | attribute_id | credit | Notes |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|--------|-------|

| All others | any | — | → query `/open/v1/product/list` | — | Always runtime query |
### Common Mistakes (and resulting errors)
| Mistake | Error |
|---------|-------|
| `attribute_id` is 0 or missing | `"Invalid product attribute"` → Insufficient points |
| `attribute_id` outdated (production changed) | Same errors; always query product list first |
| **`attribute_id` doesn't match parameter combination** | **Error 6010: "Attribute ID does not match the calculated rule"** |
| `prompt` at outer level instead of `parameters.parameters.prompt` | Prompt ignored |
| `cast` missing from inner `parameters` | Billing validation failure |
| `credit` wrong / missing | Error 6006 |
| `model_name` or `model_version` missing | Wrong model routing |
**⚠️ Critical for Google Veo 3.1 and multi-rule models:**
Models like Google Veo 3.1 have **multiple `credit_rules`**, each with a different `attribute_id` for different parameter combinations:
- `720p + 4s + optimized` → attribute_id A
- `720p + 8s + optimized` → attribute_id B
- `4K + 4s + high` → attribute_id C
The script automatically selects the correct `attribute_id` by matching your parameters (`duration`, `resolution`, `compression_quality`, `generate_audio`) against each rule's `attributes`. If the match fails, you get error 6010.
**Fix**: The bundled script now checks these video-specific parameters for smart credit_rule selection. Always use the script, not manual API construction.
---
## Core Flow
```
1. GET /open/v1/product/list?app=ima&platform=web&category=<type>
→ REQUIRED: Get attribute_id, credit, model_version, form_config defaults
[image_to_video / first_last_frame / reference_image tasks only]
2. Upload input image(s) → get public HTTPS URL(s)
→ See "Image Upload" section below
3. POST /open/v1/tasks/create
→ Must include: attribute_id, model_name, model_version, credit, cast, prompt (nested!)
4. POST /open/v1/tasks/detail {task_id: "..."}
→ Poll every 8s until medias[].resource_status == 1
→ Extract url (mp4) and cover (thumbnail) from completed media
```
> Video generation is slower than image — poll every **8s** and set timeout to **600s**.
---
## Image Upload (Required for Video Tasks with Image Input)
**The IMA Open API does NOT accept raw bytes or base64 images. All input images must be public HTTPS URLs.**
For `image_to_video`, `first_last_frame_to_video`, `reference_image_to_video`: when a user provides an image (local file, base64, or non-public URL), upload it first to get a URL.
```python
def prepare_image_url(source) -> str:
"""Convert any image source to a public HTTPS URL.
- If source is already a public HTTPS URL: return as-is
- If source is a local file path or bytes: upload to hosting first
"""
if isinstance(source, str) and source.startswith("https://"):
return source # already public, use directly
# Option 1: IMA OSS (requires OSS credentials)
# objectName = f"aiagent/src/d/{date}/in/{uuid}.jpg"
# bucket.put_object(objectName, image_bytes)
# return f"https://ima.esxscloud.com/{objectName}"
# Option 2: Any public image hosting (imgbb example)
import base64, requests
if isinstance(source, str):
with open(source, "rb") as f:
b64 = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()
else:
b64 = base64.b64encode(source).decode()
r = requests.post("https://api.imgbb.com/1/upload",
data={"key": IMGBB_API_KEY, "image": b64})
r.raise_for_status()
return r.json()["data"]["url"]
# For first_last_frame: prepare both frames
first_url = prepare_image_url("/path/to/first.jpg")
last_url = prepare_image_url("/path/to/last.jpg")
src_img_url = [first_url, last_url] # index 0 = first, index 1 = last
```
> **Note**: URLs must be publicly accessible — not localhost, private network, or auth-gated endpoints.

## Supported Task Types
| category | Capability | Input |
|----------|------------|-------|
| `text_to_video` | Text → Video | prompt |
| `image_to_video` | Image → Video | prompt + upload_img_src |
| `first_last_frame_to_video` | First+Last Frame → Video | prompt + src_img_url[2] |
| `reference_image_to_video` | Reference Image → Video | prompt + src_img_url[1+] |
---
## Detail API status values
| Field | Type | Values |
|-------|------|--------|
| **`resource_status`** | int or `null` | `0`=处理中, `1`=可用, `2`=失败, `3`=已删除;`null` 当作 0 |
| **`status`** | string | `"pending"`, `"processing"`, `"success"`, `"failed"` |
| `resource_status` | `status` | Action |
|-------------------|----------|--------|
| `0` or `null` | `pending` / `processing` | Keep polling |
| `1` | `success` (or `completed`) | Stop when **all** medias are 1; read `url` / `cover` |
| `1` | `failed` | Stop, handle error |
| `2` / `3` | any | Stop, handle error |
> **Important**: Treat `resource_status: null` as 0. Stop only when **all** medias have `resource_status == 1`. Check `status != "failed"` when rs=1.
---
## API 1: Product List
```
GET /open/v1/product/list?app=ima&platform=web&category=text_to_video
```
Returns a **V2 tree structure**: `type=2` nodes are model groups, `type=3` nodes are versions (leaves). Only `type=3` nodes contain `credit_rules` and `form_config`.
**How to pick a version:**
1. Traverse nodes to find `type=3` leaves
2. Use `model_id` and `id` (= `model_version`) from the leaf
3. Pick `credit_rules[].attribute_id` matching desired quality
4. Use `form_config[].value` as default `parameters` values (duration, resolution, aspect_ratio, etc.)
---
## API 2: Create Task
```
POST /open/v1/tasks/create
```

### image_to_video
Input image goes in top-level `src_img_url` and `parameters.input_images`:
```json
{
"task_type": "image_to_video",
"enable_multi_model": false,
"src_img_url": ["https://example.com/scene.jpg"],
"parameters": [{
"attribute_id": "<from credit_rules>",
"model_id": "<model_id>",
"model_name": "<model_name>",
"model_version": "<version_id>",
"app": "ima",
"platform": "web",
"category": "image_to_video",
"credit": "<points>",
"parameters": {
"prompt": "bring this landscape alive",
"n": 1,
"input_images": ["https://example.com/scene.jpg"],
"cast": {"points": "<points>", "attribute_id": "<attribute_id>"}
}
}]
}
```
### first_last_frame_to_video
Provide exactly 2 images: index 0 = first frame, index 1 = last frame:
```json
{
"task_type": "first_last_frame_to_video",
"src_img_url": ["https://example.com/first.jpg", "https://example.com/last.jpg"],
"parameters": [{
"category": "first_last_frame_to_video",
"parameters": {
"prompt": "smooth transition",
"n": 1,
"input_images": ["https://example.com/first.jpg", "https://example.com/last.jpg"],
"cast": {"points": "<points>", "attribute_id": "<attribute_id>"}
}
}]
}
```
### reference_image_to_video
Provide 1 or more reference images in `src_img_url`:
```json
{
"task_type": "reference_image_to_video",
"src_img_url": ["https://example.com/ref.jpg"],
"parameters": [{
"category": "reference_image_to_video",
"parameters": {
"prompt": "dynamic video based on reference",
"n": 1,
"input_images": ["https://example.com/ref.jpg"],
"cast": {"points": "<points>", "attribute_id": "<attribute_id>"}
}
}]
}
```
**Key fields**:
| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `parameters[].credit` | ✅ | Must equal `credit_rules[].points`. Error 6006 if wrong. |
| `parameters[].parameters.prompt` | ✅ | Prompt must be nested here, NOT at top level. |
| `parameters[].parameters.cast` | ✅ | `{"points": N, "attribute_id": N}` — mirror of credit. |
| `parameters[].parameters.n` | ✅ | Number of outputs (usually `1`). |
| top-level `src_img_url` | image tasks | Image URL(s); 2 images for first_last_frame. |
| `parameters[].parameters.input_images` | image tasks | Must mirror `src_img_url`. |
| `parameters[].parameters.duration` | text_to_video | Video duration in seconds (from form_config). |
| `parameters[].parameters.resolution` | text_to_video | e.g. `"1080P"` (from form_config). |
| `parameters[].parameters.aspect_ratio` | text_to_video | e.g. `"16:9"` (from form_config). |
Response: `data.id` = task ID for polling.

## API 3: Task Detail (Poll)
```
POST /open/v1/tasks/detail
{"task_id": "<id from create response>"}
```
Poll every **8s** for video tasks. Completed response:
```json
{
"id": "task_abc",
"medias": [{
"resource_status": 1,
"url": "https://cdn.../output.mp4",
"cover": "https://cdn.../cover.jpg",
"duration_str": "5s",
"format": "mp4"
}]
}
```
Output fields: `url` (mp4), `cover` (first-frame thumbnail JPEG), `duration_str`, `format`.
---
## Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| Polling too fast for video | Use 8s interval, not 2–3s |
| Missing `duration`/`resolution`/`aspect_ratio` | Read defaults from `form_config` |
| Wrong `credit` value | Must exactly match `credit_rules[].points` (error 6006) |
| `src_img_url` and `input_images` mismatch | Both must contain the same image URL(s) |
| Only 1 image for first_last_frame | Requires exactly 2 images (first + last) |
| Placing `prompt` at param top-level | `prompt` must be inside `parameters[].parameters` |
---

This skill enables AI video generation via the IMA Open API and a bundled Python helper. It supports four modes: text-to-video, image-to-video, first_last_frame_to_video, and reference_image_to_video, with multiple production models available. Defaults prioritize the newest and most popular models (not the cheapest) and user preferences are stored locally for consistent behavior.
The skill calls IMA Studio endpoints to create a generation task, upload images when required, and poll until the video is ready. For image uploads the skill uses IMA's media service to get CDN URLs, then the main API creates and processes the video task. The script returns a remote HTTPS video URL which should be sent directly to users so platforms render an inline video player.
Which model is chosen by default?
If the user has no saved preference, the skill chooses the newest and most popular model for each task (e.g., Wan 2.6 for text/image-to-video; Kling O1 for first/last and reference tasks).
What API keys are required and where are they sent?
An ima_* API key is required. The key authenticates requests to the main API and, when uploading images, to the media upload service. Both services are operated by IMA Studio.
How should the generated video be delivered to users?
Send the remote HTTPS video URL returned by the API directly. That allows supported platforms to render an inline video player; downloading the file first prevents inline playback.
