Research, make and post

The full loop in one skill: find what works, make a video like it, post it. Everything runs through the Revid MCP server (https://www.revid.ai/api/mcp). Install it once, see revid-api-foundations.

When to use this skill

• The user wants a video posted ("make a TikTok about X and post it Friday").
• The user asks what to post, or wants the video based on what already performs.
• For a video the user will post themselves, use revid-prompt-to-video.
• For a script the user already wrote, use revid-script-to-video.

Steps

1. Research. Call search_viral_videos with the topic as query, viralOnly: true, and the platforms the user posts on. Searches cost no credits. Read 5 to 10 results: the hook (first line of the transcript), the length, the format, the engagement. Tell the user in two or three lines which pattern you will use and why.
2. Write. Draft a 20 to 45 second script that uses the strongest hook pattern for the user's own subject. Never copy a creator's words. Show the script and wait for an OK unless the user said to go ahead.
3. Price. Call calculate_credits with the exact payload you will render and tell the user the cost in credits.
4. Make. Call render_video:

   {
     "workflow": "script-to-video",
     "source": { "text": "<the approved script>" },
     "aspectRatio": "9:16",
     "voice": { "enabled": true },
     "captions": { "enabled": true },
     "music": { "generateMusic": true }
   }
   

   Use prompt-to-video with source.prompt instead when the user wants Revid to write the script. Keep the returned pid.
5. Wait. Poll get_project_status with the pid every 20 to 30 seconds until it returns videoUrl. Most videos take a few minutes; motion graphics take longer. Share the link and let the user watch it.
6. Post. Call list_social_accounts, pick the account the user named, then:
   • schedule_publish with scheduledTime (ISO 8601 with offset, for example 2026-10-30T18:00:00+01:00) for a set time, or without it for the next free slot of the user's posting queue;
   • publish_now to post right away. Write a caption with 3 to 5 hashtags from the research. Accounts flagged tokenInvalid: true must be reconnected in Revid first.
7. Confirm. Call get_publish_status with the returned contentId and give the user the post link once it is live.

Rules

• Posting is public: always confirm the account, the caption and the time with the user before publish_now or schedule_publish, unless they gave all three already.
• Rendering needs an active Revid plan. A 402 SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED answer carries an upgrade.url: pass it to the user.
• Never call render_video twice for the same video: poll the first pid instead.
