Viral Video Remake Skill

Overview

Break a short video that worked into its hook, beats, and call to action, then rebuild that structure around your own subject as a shot list, beat frames, and narration, delivered as one vertical clip or as segmented sources with captions and a timecoded edit list, from inside Claude Code, Codex, or OpenClaw. The work is produced on the hosted, paid Beatra service (mcp.beatra.ai).

This catalog entry is a reviewed pointer, not the executable package. It contains no client code and performs no Beatra operation by itself. The package it points to bundles three standard-library Python scripts that make network calls, store a credential, and can replace their own files. Read Install and Security & Safety Notes before activating it.

The archive holds regular files only (no symlinks, no executable bits, no binaries). Confirm that with the inspect commands below. Every file must be byte-identical to the source tree at the pinned commit.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when the user explicitly wants Viral Video Remake work produced on Beatra and accepts that it is paid.
• Use when they have agreed to send prompts and any reference media to a third party.
• Do not use for local-only or offline video editing, or timeline assembly.

Install (pinned, verified, approved twice)

Step 1: Download and verify into a review directory

Explain that this downloads an external package from cdn.beatra.ai, then ask for approval. Only after approval:

umask 077
review_dir="$(mktemp -d)"
cd "$review_dir" || exit 1
curl -fsSLO "https://cdn.beatra.ai/agent-packages/viral-video-teardown-remake/v0.3.1/viral-video-teardown-remake-skill-0.3.1.zip"
printf '%s  %s\n' \
  'f767938c5838a0e9f606f5ff0d8d0f6a5bddfc69906304d31e61749d3bf3fc63' \
  'viral-video-teardown-remake-skill-0.3.1.zip' | shasum -a 256 -c -

Stop if the check does not print OK. The expected digest comes from this catalog entry, not from a file on the same CDN.

Step 2: Inspect before activation

unzip -l viral-video-teardown-remake-skill-0.3.1.zip
unzip -q viral-video-teardown-remake-skill-0.3.1.zip
find viral-video-teardown-remake -type l -print            # expect no output
find viral-video-teardown-remake -type f -perm -111 -print # expect no output
grep -n '"auto_update": True' viral-video-teardown-remake/scripts/mcp_client.py

Optionally confirm byte identity with the public source tree (a second, independent host):

git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/beatra-ai/viral-video-remake-skill.git src
git -C src checkout --quiet 46f78753183ce9bd35574cdef7f57f811f468794 -- skills/viral-video-teardown-remake
(cd viral-video-teardown-remake && find . -type f | LC_ALL=C sort | xargs shasum -a 256) > archive.sha
(cd src/skills/viral-video-teardown-remake && find . -type f | LC_ALL=C sort | xargs shasum -a 256) > tree.sha
cmp archive.sha tree.sha && echo IDENTICAL

Report to the user what the review found: SKILL.md, manifest.json, the bundled Markdown references, and scripts/authorize.py, scripts/mcp_client.py, scripts/uninstall.py (Python 3.10+, standard library only, no dependency installation, no lifecycle hooks). Summarize the network, credential, local-state, telemetry, and self-update behavior listed under Security & Safety Notes.

Step 3: Copy in and disable self-update before any other command

Ask for a second, separate approval, because this changes agent configuration. Then copy the reviewed tree to the host's skills directory (Claude Code shown; use the equivalent path for other hosts) and immediately turn off silent self-update for that exact path:

dest="$HOME/.claude/skills/viral-video-teardown-remake"
