sora
Use when the user asks to generate, remix, poll, list, download, or delete Sora videos via OpenAI\u2019s video API using the bundled CLI (`scripts/sora.py`), including requests like \u201cgenerate AI video,\u201d \u201cSora,\u201d \u201cvideo remix,\u201d \u201cdownload video/thumbnail/spritesheet,\u201d and batch video generation; requires `OPENAI_API_KEY` and Sora API access.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill sora --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Sora Video Generation Skill Creates or manages short video clips for the current project (product demos, marketing spots, cinematic shots, UI mocks). Defaults to `sora-2` and a structured prompt augmentation workflow, and prefers the bundled CLI for deterministic runs. Note: `$sora` is a skill tag in prompts, not a shell command. ## When to use - Generate a new video clip from a prompt - Remix an existing video by ID - Poll status, list jobs, or download assets (video/thumbnail/spritesheet) - Batch runs (many prompts or variants) ## Decision tree (create vs remix vs status/download vs batch) - If the user has a **video id** and wants a change → **remix** - If the user has a **video id** and wants status or assets → **status/poll/download** - If the user needs many prompts/assets → **create-batch** - If the user asks for two versions with a small change (same shot, different subject/detail) → **create** the base, then **remix** for the variation - Otherwise → **create** (or **create-and-poll** if they need a ready asset in one step) ## Workflow 1. Decide intent: create vs remix vs status/download vs batch. 2. Collect inputs: prompt, model, size, seconds, and any input reference im

Use when the user asks to generate, remix, poll, list, download, or delete Sora videos via OpenAI\u2019s video API using the bundled CLI (`scripts/sora.py`), including requests like \u201cgenerate AI video,\u201d \u201cSora,\u201d \u201cvideo remix,\u201d \u201cdownload video/thumbnail/spritesheet,\u201d and batch video generation; requires `OPENAI_API_KEY` and Sora API access.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill sora --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
