## What it does

The skill walks the agent through two phases. Phase A builds the base portrait: an anthropomorphic animal in the chosen outfit, holding a selfie stick at the chosen location, rendered with `muapi image generate` on `nano-banana` or `nano-banana-pro` at 9:16. The image comes back to you for approval before anything moves.

Phase B animates that still with `muapi video generate` or `muapi video from-image` on `veo3.1-fast-image-to-video`. The shot opens in selfie mode, the camera drifts gimbal-smooth, and there is a quick zoom on the annoyed face. Dialogue for lip-sync comes from the `script` input; the shipped default is a Hindi line about the heat in Noida. Animal, location and clothing are inputs too, defaulting to a monkey, Noida streets and a red t-shirt.

You need `MUAPI_API_KEY` set before the first call. If it is missing, run `muapi auth configure` first. For model IDs that have no CLI alias yet, the skill falls back to a raw POST against `https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/<endpoint>` with an `x-api-key` header, then polls with `muapi predict wait <request_id>`. Nothing runs without that key.

## When to use it
- produce a vertical clip of a talking animal
- get a photorealistic portrait of a beast with a selfie stick
- voice a character with a line in another language
- build a busy street background with stalls and passers-by

# Animal Vlogger Video

**Create a hilarious and ultra-realistic video of an anthropomorphic animal acting like a human vlogger in a real-world setting.**

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| `animal_type` | text | no | monkey | The type of animal vlogging (e.g., monkey, dog, cat, bear). |
| `location` | text | no | busy streets of Noida, India | The setting for the vlog. |
| `clothing` | text | no | a bright red t-shirt | What the animal is wearing. |
| `script` | text | no | क्या यार, कहाँ फंस गया नॉएडा में आके? इससे तो बैंगलोर ही अच्छा था. यहाँ तो बड़ी गर्मी है भाई. पसीने ही छूट गए मेरे तो. | The dialogue for lip-sync. |


## Steps

### Phase A — Generate Vlogger Image

Submit the plan with ONE step to create the base image of the animal vlogger:

1. **Image Generation** — `muapi image generate` (model=`nano-banana` or `nano-banana-pro`):
   - Prompt: `Ultra-realistic, cinematic portrait of an expressive {{animal_type}} wearing {{clothing}}, holding a selfie stick on the {{location}}. The {{animal_type}} is anthropomorphic, walking upright, and looks like a believable vlogger. Sweating slightly in the heat, highly detailed, photorealistic. Background shows a bustling street, people eating at stalls, vibrant urban details.`
   - Aspect ratio: 9:16 (for vertical vlog style)

After generating the image, present it to the user.

### Phase B — Video Generation

Once the image is approved, submit a second the plan with ONE step to animate it with lip-sync:

1. **Video Generation** — `muapi video generate` or `muapi video from-image` (model=`veo3.1-fast-image-to-video`):
   - Reference Image: The generated image from Phase A.
