The skill lets an agent create, remix, and manage short video clips through OpenAI’s Sora API. Its listed use cases are cinematic shots, b-roll, and rapid iteration on video concepts. The agent can discover it by the name sora or phrases such as “openai video” and “cinematic clip”.

The catalogue entry exposes the skill during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into the active agent’s skills directory. Check the selected platform’s installation path before using it, since the location of SKILL.md differs between agents.
