AC ark-seedance-video-generation
End-to-end Volcengine Ark Seedance video generation using ARK_API_KEY and the bundled Node.js runner. Use when an agent needs to generate videos, handle text-to-video or image-to-video requests, poll task status, list or delete tasks, download generated assets, and follow a controlled SOP for model selection, local-media disclosure, and artifact handling.
As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 70Failures and branches. 7 branches
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 67 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1168 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low The response is described with custom markup (4 tags): a typed call is more reliable
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
