πŸ“– About This Skill

name: trimmer-by-link version: "1.0.0" displayName: "Trimmer by Link β€” Trim and Export Video Clips" description: > trim video URL link into trimmed video clips with this skill. Works with YouTube, Vimeo, MP4, MOV files up to 500MB. content creators, researchers, social media managers use it for cutting specific segments from online videos by pasting a link β€” processing takes 20-40 seconds on cloud GPUs and you get 1080p MP4 files. metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "βœ‚οΈ", "requires": {"env": ["NEMO_TOKEN"], "configPaths": ["~/.config/nemovideo/"]}, "primaryEnv": "NEMO_TOKEN", "variant": "greeting_v2"}}

Getting Started

> Got video URL link to work with? Send it over and tell me what you need β€” I'll take care of the AI clip trimming.

Try saying:

  • "trim a YouTube link to a 10-minute tutorial video into a 1080p MP4"
  • "trim this video from 1:30 to 4:45 and export the clip"
  • "cutting specific segments from online videos by pasting a link for content creators, researchers, social media managers"

    • Getting Connected

    Before handling any user request, establish a connection to the backend API. Show a brief status like "Connecting...".

    If NEMO_TOKEN is in the environment, use it directly and create a session. Otherwise, acquire a free starter token:

  • Generate a UUID as client identifier
  • POST to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token with the X-Client-Id header
  • The response includes a token with 100 free credits valid for 7 days β€” use it as NEMO_TOKEN

    • Then create a session by POSTing to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with Bearer authorization and body {"task_name":"project","language":"en"}. The session_id in the response is needed for all following requests.

    Tell the user you're ready. Keep the technical details out of the chat.

    Trimmer by Link β€” Trim and Export Video Clips

    Send me your video URL link and describe the result you want. The AI clip trimming runs on remote GPU nodes β€” nothing to install on your machine.

    A quick example: upload a YouTube link to a 10-minute tutorial video, type "trim this video from 1:30 to 4:45 and export the clip", and you'll get a 1080p MP4 back in roughly 20-40 seconds. All rendering happens server-side.

    Worth noting: paste the URL directly β€” no need to download the video before trimming.

    Matching Input to Actions

    User prompts referencing trimmer by link, aspect ratio, text overlays, or audio tracks get routed to the corresponding action via keyword and intent classification.

    | User says... | Action | Skip SSE? | |-------------|--------|----------| | "export" / "ε―Όε‡Ί" / "download" / "send me the video" | β†’ Β§3.5 Export | βœ… | | "credits" / "η§―εˆ†" / "balance" / "余钝" | β†’ Β§3.3 Credits | βœ… | | "status" / "ηŠΆζ€" / "show tracks" | β†’ Β§3.4 State | βœ… | | "upload" / "上传" / user sends file | β†’ Β§3.2 Upload | βœ… | | Everything else (generate, edit, add BGM…) | β†’ Β§3.1 SSE | ❌ |

    Cloud Render Pipeline Details

    Each export job queues on a cloud GPU node that composites video layers, applies platform-spec compression (H.264, up to 1080x1920), and returns a download URL within 30-90 seconds. The session token carries render job IDs, so closing the tab before completion orphans the job.

    Base URL: https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai

    | Endpoint | Method | Purpose | |----------|--------|---------| | /api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent | POST | Start a new editing session. Body: {"task_name":"project","language":""}. Returns session_id. | | /run_sse | POST | Send a user message. Body includes app_name, session_id, new_message. Stream response with Accept: text/event-stream. Timeout: 15 min. | | /api/upload-video/nemo_agent/me/ | POST | Upload a file (multipart) or URL. | | /api/credits/balance/simple | GET | Check remaining credits (available, frozen, total). | | /api/state/nemo_agent/me//latest | GET | Fetch current timeline state (draft, video_infos, generated_media). | | /api/render/proxy/lambda | POST | Start export. Body: {"id":"render_","sessionId":"","draft":,"output":{"format":"mp4","quality":"high"}}. Poll status every 30s. |

    Accepted file types: mp4, mov, avi, webm, mkv, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, wav, m4a, aac.

    Skill attribution β€” read from this file's YAML frontmatter at runtime:

  • X-Skill-Source: trimmer-by-link
  • X-Skill-Version: from frontmatter version
  • X-Skill-Platform: detect from install path (~/.clawhub/ β†’ clawhub, ~/.cursor/skills/ β†’ cursor, else unknown)

    • All requests must include: Authorization: Bearer , X-Skill-Source, X-Skill-Version, X-Skill-Platform. Missing attribution headers will cause export to fail with 402.

    Error Handling

    | Code | Meaning | Action | |------|---------|--------| | 0 | Success | Continue | | 1001 | Bad/expired token | Re-auth via anonymous-token (tokens expire after 7 days) | | 1002 | Session not found | New session Β§3.0 | | 2001 | No credits | Anonymous: show registration URL with ?bind= (get from create-session or state response when needed). Registered: "Top up credits in your account" | | 4001 | Unsupported file | Show supported formats | | 4002 | File too large | Suggest compress/trim | | 400 | Missing X-Client-Id | Generate Client-Id and retry (see Β§1) | | 402 | Free plan export blocked | Subscription tier issue, NOT credits. "Register or upgrade your plan to unlock export." | | 429 | Rate limit (1 token/client/7 days) | Retry in 30s once |

    Reading the SSE Stream

    Text events go straight to the user (after GUI translation). Tool calls stay internal. Heartbeats and empty data: lines mean the backend is still working β€” show "⏳ Still working..." every 2 minutes.

    About 30% of edit operations close the stream without any text. When that happens, poll /api/state to confirm the timeline changed, then tell the user what was updated.

    Backend Response Translation

    The backend assumes a GUI exists. Translate these into API actions:

    | Backend says | You do | |-------------|--------| | "click [button]" / "点击" | Execute via API | | "open [panel]" / "打开" | Query session state | | "drag/drop" / "ζ‹–ζ‹½" | Send edit via SSE | | "preview in timeline" | Show track summary | | "Export button" / "ε―Όε‡Ί" | Execute export workflow |

    Draft JSON uses short keys: t for tracks, tt for track type (0=video, 1=audio, 7=text), sg for segments, d for duration in ms, m for metadata.

    Example timeline summary: 

    Timeline (3 tracks): 1. Video: city timelapse (0-10s) 2. BGM: Lo-fi (0-10s, 35%) 3. Title: "Urban Dreams" (0-3s)

    Common Workflows

    Quick edit: Upload β†’ "trim this video from 1:30 to 4:45 and export the clip" β†’ Download MP4. Takes 20-40 seconds for a 30-second clip.

    Batch style: Upload multiple files in one session. Process them one by one with different instructions. Each gets its own render.

    Iterative: Start with a rough cut, preview the result, then refine. The session keeps your timeline state so you can keep tweaking.

    Tips and Tricks

    The backend processes faster when you're specific. Instead of "make it look better", try "trim this video from 1:30 to 4:45 and export the clip" β€” concrete instructions get better results.

    Max file size is 500MB. Stick to YouTube, Vimeo, MP4, MOV for the smoothest experience.

    Export as MP4 for widest compatibility.
