MiniMax provides two service endpoints for different regions:
Region
API Host
China Mainland(中国大陆)
https://api.minimaxi.com
Global(全球)
https://api.minimax.io
In OpenClaw — create a .env file in the skill directory (scripts load it automatically, no shell export needed):
~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/minimax-multimodal-toolkit/.env
MINIMAX_API_KEY=sk-cp-...
MINIMAX_API_HOST=https://api.minimaxi.com
Or configure via openclaw.json:
"skills": {
"entries": {
"minimax-multimodal-toolkit": {
"env": {
"MINIMAX_API_HOST": "https://api.minimaxi.com",
"MINIMAX_API_KEY": "sk-cp-..."
}
}
}
}
In other environments — set environment variables before running any script:
export MINIMAX_API_HOST="https://api.minimaxi.com"
export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your-key-here"
Keys start with sk-api- or sk-cp-, obtainable from https://platform.minimaxi.com (China) or https://platform.minimax.io (Global)
IMPORTANT — When credentials are missing:
Before running any script, check that both MINIMAX_API_HOST and MINIMAX_API_KEY are set.
If either is missing: ask the user for their region and API key, then help them configure using one of the methods above.
Output & Sending
Output Directory
**All generated files MUST be saved to minimax-output/ under the AGENT'S current working directory (NOT the skill directory).** Every script call MUST include an explicit --output / -o argument pointing to this location. Never omit the output argument or rely on script defaults.
Rules:
- Before running any script, ensure
minimax-output/exists in the agent's working directory (create if needed:mkdir -p minimax-output)
- Always use absolute or relative paths from the agent's working directory:
--output minimax-output/video.mp4
- Never
cdinto the skill directory to run scripts — run from the agent's working directory using the full script path
- Intermediate/temp files (segment audio, video segments, extracted frames) are automatically placed in
minimax-output/tmp/. They can be cleaned up when no longer needed:rm -rf minimax-output/tmp
Sending to Feishu (Native Bubbles)
**After generating any media file, send it as a native Feishu bubble using the message tool:**
message action=send media=<file-path>
**Do NOT use [[reply_to_current]] for media — always use the message tool with the media parameter.**

How to set: After user picks, remember their choice and use -v <voice_id> in all subsequent TTS calls.
IMPORTANT: Single voice vs Multi-segment — Choose the right approach
User intent
Approach
Single voice / no multi-character need
tts command — generate the entire text in one call
Multiple characters / narrator + dialogue
generate command with segments.json
Default behavior: When the user simply asks to generate speech/voice and does NOT mention multiple voices or characters, use the tts command directly with a single appropriate voice. Do NOT split into segments or use the multi-segment pipeline — just pass the full text to tts in one call.
Only use multi-segment generate when:
- The user explicitly needs multiple voices/characters
- The text requires narrator + character dialogue separation
- The text exceeds 10,000 characters (API limit per request) — in this case, split into segments with the same voice
Single-voice generation
# Generate TTS with chosen voice
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh tts "你想说的话" -v chunzhen_xuedi -o minimax-output/output.mp3
# Convert to .opus (required for native Feishu voice bubble)
ffmpeg -i minimax-output/output.mp3 -c:a libopus -b:a 128k -y minimax-output/output.opus
# Send as native voice bubble
message action=send media=minimax-output/output.opus
Multi-segment generation (multi-voice / audiobook / podcast)
Complete workflow — follow ALL steps in order:
- Write segments.json — split text into segments with voice assignments (see format and rules below)
- **Run
generatecommand** — this reads segments.json, generates audio for EACH segment via TTS API, then merges them into a single output file with crossfade
# Step 1: Write segments.json to minimax-output/
# (use the Write tool to create minimax-output/segments.json)
# Step 2: Generate audio from segments.json — this is the CRITICAL step
# It generates each segment individually and merges them into one file
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh generate minimax-output/segments.json \
-o minimax-output/output.mp3 --crossfade 200
# Step 3: Convert and send
ffmpeg -i minimax-output/output.mp3 -c:a libopus -b:a 128k -y minimax-output/output.opus
message action=send media=minimax-output/output.opus
Do NOT skip Step 2. Writing segments.json alone does nothing — you MUST run the generate command to actually produce audio.
Voice management
# List all available voices
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh list-voices
# Voice cloning (from audio sample, 10s–5min)
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh clone sample.mp3 --voice-id my-voice
# Voice design (from text description)
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh design "A warm female narrator voice" --voice-id narrator
Audio processing
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh merge part1.mp3 part2.mp3 -o minimax-output/combined.mp3
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh convert input.wav -o minimax-output/output.mp3

{ "text": "Welcome.", "voice_id": "male-qn-qingse", "emotion": "happy" }
]
Leave emotion empty for speech-2.8 models (auto-matched from text).
IMPORTANT: Multi-Segment Script Generation Rules (Audiobooks, Podcasts, etc.)
When generating segments.json for audiobooks, podcasts, or any multi-character narration, you MUST split narration text from character dialogue into separate segments with distinct voices.
Rule: Narration and dialogue are ALWAYS separate segments.
A sentence like "Tom said: The weather is great today!" must be split into two segments:
- Segment 1 (narrator voice):
"Tom said:"
- Segment 2 (character voice):
"The weather is great today!"
Example — Audiobook with narrator + 2 characters:
[
{ "text": "Morning sunlight streamed into the classroom as students filed in one by one.", "voice_id": "narrator-voice", "emotion": "" },
{ "text": "Tom smiled and turned to Lisa:", "voice_id": "narrator-voice", "emotion": "" },
{ "text": "The weather is amazing today! Let's go to the park after school!", "voice_id": "tom-voice", "emotion": "happy" },
{ "text": "Lisa thought for a moment, then replied:", "voice_id": "narrator-voice", "emotion": "" },
{ "text": "Sure, but I need to drop off my backpack at home first.", "voice_id": "lisa-voice", "emotion": "" },
{ "text": "They exchanged a smile and went back to listening to the lecture.", "voice_id": "narrator-voice", "emotion": "" }
]
Key principles:
- Narrator uses a consistent neutral narrator voice throughout
- Each character has a dedicated voice_id, maintained consistently across all their dialogue
- Split at dialogue boundaries —
"He said:"is narrator, the quoted content is the character
- Do NOT merge narrator text and character speech into a single segment
- For characters without pre-existing voice_ids, use voice cloning or voice design to create them first, then reference the created voice_id in segments
Music Generation
Entry point: scripts/music/generate_music.sh
IMPORTANT: Instrumental vs Lyrics — When to use which
Scenario
Mode
Action
BGM for video / voice / podcast
Instrumental (default)
Use --instrumental directly, do NOT ask user
User explicitly asks to "create music" / "make a song"
Ask user first
Ask whether they want instrumental or with lyrics
When adding background music to video or voice content, always default to instrumental mode (--instrumental). Do not ask the user — BGM should never have vocals competing with the main content.
When the user explicitly asks to create/generate music as the primary task, ask them whether they want:
- Instrumental (pure music, no vocals)
- With lyrics (song with vocals — user provides or you help write lyrics)
# Instrumental (for BGM or when user chooses instrumental)
bash scripts/music/generate_music.sh \
--instrumental \
--prompt "ambient electronic, atmospheric" \
--output minimax-output/ambient.mp3 --download
message action=send media=minimax-output/ambient.mp3
# Song with lyrics (when user chooses vocal music)
bash scripts/music/generate_music.sh \
--lyrics "[verse]\nHello world\n[chorus]\nLa la la" \
--prompt "indie folk, melancholic" \
--output minimax-output/song.mp3 --download
message action=send media=minimax-output/song.mp3
Music Model
Default model: music-2.5
music-2.5 does not support --instrumental directly. When instrumental music is needed, the script automatically applies a workaround:
- Sets lyrics to
[intro] [outro](empty structural tags, no actual vocals), appendspure music, no lyricsto the prompt
This produces instrumental-style output without requiring manual intervention. You can always use --instrumental and the script handles the rest.
Image Generation
Entry point: scripts/image/generate_image.sh
Model: image-01 — photorealistic image generation from text prompts, with optional character reference for image-to-image.
IMPORTANT: Mode Selection — t2i vs i2i
User intent
Mode
Generate image from text description (default)
t2i — text-to-image
Generate image with a character reference photo (keep same person)
i2i — image-to-image
Default behavior: When the user asks to generate/create an image without mentioning a reference photo, use t2i mode (default). Only use i2i mode when the user provides a character reference image or explicitly asks to base the image on an existing person's appearance.
IMPORTANT: Aspect Ratio — Infer from user context
Do NOT always default to 1:1. Analyze the user's request and choose the most appropriate aspect ratio:

Video Generation
IMPORTANT: Single vs Multi-Segment — Choose the right script
User intent
Script to use
Default / no special request
scripts/video/generate_video.sh (single segment, 6s, 768P)
User explicitly asks for "long video", "multi-scene", "story", or duration > 10s
scripts/video/generate_long_video.sh (multi-segment)
Default behavior: Always use single-segment generate_video.sh with duration 6s and resolution 768P unless the user explicitly asks for a long video or multi-scene video. Do NOT automatically split into multiple segments — a single 6s video is the standard output. Only use generate_long_video.sh when the user clearly needs multi-scene or longer content.
Entry point (single video): scripts/video/generate_video.sh
Entry point (long/multi-scene): scripts/video/generate_long_video.sh
Video Model Constraints (MUST follow)
Supported resolutions and durations by model:

6s only
Key rules:
- Default: 6s + 768P — plan quotas are counted in 6-second units; use 6s unless user explicitly requests 10s
- 1080P is NOT supported on any plan — always use 768P for Hailuo-2.3/2.3-Fast
- Older models (T2V-01, I2V-01, S2V-01) only support 6s at 720P
⚠️ Duration vs Account Plan: MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3 supports 6s or 10s, but some accounts only support 6s.
If you encounter "token plan not support model, MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3-10s-768p" error, switch to --duration 6.
Always check user's plan limits before attempting 10s video generation.
IMPORTANT: Prompt Optimization (MUST follow before generating any video)
Before calling any video generation script, you MUST optimize the user's prompt by reading and applying references/video-prompt-guide.md. Never pass the user's raw description directly as --prompt.
Optimization steps:
-
Apply the Professional Formula: Main subject + Scene + Movement + Camera motion + Aesthetic atmosphere
- BAD:
"A puppy in a park"
- GOOD:
"A golden retriever puppy runs toward the camera on a sun-dappled grass path in a park, [跟随] smooth tracking shot, warm golden hour lighting, shallow depth of field, joyful atmosphere"
-
Add camera instructions using [指令] syntax: [推进], [拉远], [跟随], [固定], [左摇], etc.
-
Include aesthetic details: lighting (golden hour, dramatic side lighting), color grading (warm tones, cinematic), texture (dust particles, rain droplets), atmosphere (intimate, epic, peaceful)
-
Keep to 1-2 key actions for 6-10 second videos — do not overcrowd with events
-
For i2v mode (image-to-video): Focus prompt on movement and change only, since the image already establishes the visual. Do NOT re-describe what's in the image.
- BAD:
"A lake with mountains"(just repeating the image)
- GOOD:
"Gentle ripples spread across the water surface, a breeze rustles the distant trees, [固定] fixed camera, soft morning light, peaceful and serene"
-
For multi-segment long videos: Each segment's prompt must be self-contained and optimized individually. The i2v segments (segment 2+) should describe motion/change relative to the previous segment's ending frame.
# Text-to-video (default: 6s, 768P)
bash scripts/video/generate_video.sh \
--mode t2v \
--prompt "A golden retriever puppy bounds toward the camera on a sunlit grass path, [跟随] tracking shot, warm golden hour, shallow depth of field, joyful" \
--output minimax-output/puppy.mp4
message action=send media=minimax-output/puppy.mp4
# Image-to-video (prompt focuses on MOTION, not image content)
bash scripts/video/generate_video.sh \
--mode i2v \
--prompt "The petals begin to sway gently in the breeze, soft light shifts across the surface, [固定] fixed framing, dreamy pastel tones" \
--first-frame photo.jpg \
--output minimax-output/animated.mp4
message action=send media=minimax-output/animated.mp4
# Start-end frame interpolation (sef mode uses MiniMax-Hailuo-02)

--mode sef \
--first-frame start.jpg --last-frame end.jpg \
--output minimax-output/transition.mp4
message action=send media=minimax-output/transition.mp4
# Subject reference (face consistency, ref mode uses S2V-01, 6s only)
bash scripts/video/generate_video.sh \
--mode ref \
--prompt "A young woman in a white dress walks slowly through a sunlit garden, [跟随] smooth tracking, warm natural lighting, cinematic depth of field" \
--subject-image face.jpg \
--duration 6 \
--output minimax-output/person.mp4
message action=send media=minimax-output/person.mp4
Long-form Video (Multi-scene)
Multi-scene long videos chain segments together: the first segment generates via text-to-video (t2v), then each subsequent segment uses the last frame of the previous segment as its first frame (i2v). Segments are joined with crossfade transitions for smooth continuity. Default is 6 seconds per segment.
Workflow:
- Segment 1: t2v — generated purely from the optimized text prompt
- Segment 2+: i2v — the previous segment's last frame becomes
first_frame_image, prompt describes motion and change from that ending state
- All segments are concatenated with 0.5s crossfade transitions to eliminate jump cuts
- Optional: AI-generated background music is overlaid
Prompt rules for each segment:
- Each segment prompt MUST be independently optimized using the Professional Formula
- Segment 1 (t2v): Full scene description with subject, scene, camera, atmosphere
- Segment 2+ (i2v): Focus on what changes and moves from the previous ending frame. Do NOT repeat the visual description — the first frame already provides it
- Maintain visual consistency: keep lighting, color grading, and style keywords consistent across segments
- Each segment covers only 6 seconds of action — keep it focused
# Example: 3-segment story with optimized per-segment prompts (default: 6s/segment, 768P)
bash scripts/video/generate_long_video.sh \
--scenes \
"A lone astronaut stands on a red desert planet surface, wind blowing dust particles, [推进] slow push in toward the visor, dramatic rim lighting, cinematic sci-fi atmosphere" \
"The astronaut turns and begins walking toward a distant glowing structure on the horizon, dust swirling around boots, [跟随] tracking from behind, vast desolate landscape, golden light from the structure" \
"The astronaut reaches the structure entrance, a massive doorway pulses with blue energy, [推进] slow push in toward the doorway, light reflects off the visor, awe-inspiring epic scale" \
--music-prompt "cinematic orchestral ambient, slow build, sci-fi atmosphere" \

bash scripts/media_tools.sh convert-audio input.wav -o output.mp3
bash scripts/media_tools.sh convert-audio input.mp3 -o output.flac \
--bitrate 320k --sample-rate 48000 --channels 2
Video Concatenation
# Concatenate with crossfade transition (default 0.5s)
bash scripts/media_tools.sh concat-video seg1.mp4 seg2.mp4 seg3.mp4 -o merged.mp4
# Hard cut (no crossfade)
bash scripts/media_tools.sh concat-video seg1.mp4 seg2.mp4 -o merged.mp4 --crossfade 0
Audio Concatenation
# Simple concatenation
bash scripts/media_tools.sh concat-audio part1.mp3 part2.mp3 -o combined.mp3
# With crossfade
bash scripts/media_tools.sh concat-audio part1.mp3 part2.mp3 -o combined.mp3 --crossfade 1
Extract Audio from Video
# Extract as mp3
bash scripts/media_tools.sh extract-audio video.mp4 -o audio.mp3
# Extract as wav with higher bitrate
bash scripts/media_tools.sh extract-audio video.mp4 -o audio.wav --bitrate 320k
Video Trimming
# Trim by start/end time (seconds)
bash scripts/media_tools.sh trim-video input.mp4 -o clip.mp4 --start 5 --end 15
# Trim by start + duration
bash scripts/media_tools.sh trim-video input.mp4 -o clip.mp4 --start 10 --duration 8
Add Audio to Video (Overlay / Replace)
# Mix audio with existing video audio
bash scripts/media_tools.sh add-audio --video video.mp4 --audio bgm.mp3 -o output.mp4 \
--volume 0.3 --fade-in 2 --fade-out 3
# Replace original audio entirely
bash scripts/media_tools.sh add-audio --video video.mp4 --audio narration.mp3 -o output.mp4 \
--replace
