Translate any video. Keep the voice.

AI video dubbing for your agent — the dub-video skill, driving the @orcadub/cli command-line tool.

---

Give any agent the ability to dub a video into another language conversationally: upload a file or pass a URL, submit a job to the orca/dub model through the OrcaRouter gateway, poll progress, and download the finished MP4.

One tool, one skill:

• CLI @orcadub/cli — a one-shot command-line tool (npx -y @orcadub/cli <subcommand> or a prebuilt orcadub binary), no resident server required.
• Skill dub-video — a plain SKILL.md workflow guide for skill-capable agents (Claude Code/Desktop, Codex, …) that calls the CLI: when to dub, ask for required parameters before the billed submit, poll etiquette, confirm before downloading.

Install

Claude Code — one-click plugin (skill that calls the OrcaDub CLI):

/plugin marketplace add Continuum-AI-Corp/orcadub-plugin
/plugin install orcadub@orcadub-skills

Codex — one-click plugin (skill that calls the OrcaDub CLI):

codex plugin marketplace add Continuum-AI-Corp/orcadub-plugin
codex plugin add orcadub@orcadub-skills

Any supported agent — guided CLI installation:

npx -y @orcadub/cli skill install

# Non-interactive examples:
npx -y @orcadub/cli skill install --platform codex --scope global --yes
npx -y @orcadub/cli skill install \
  --platform claude --platform cursor --scope project --yes

The installer detects existing agent platforms and supports project/global installation across 36 platforms, including Hermes, OpenClaw, and Command Code. It downloads this repository's canonical dub-video skill, preserves differing existing content unless --force is supplied, and supports structured --json output.

Manual installation fallback:

# Copy the skill (install into an orcadub/ folder):
cp -r skills/dub-video ~/.claude/skills/orcadub   # Claude Code / Desktop
cp -r skills/dub-video ~/.agents/skills/orcadub   # Codex

# Make sure Node is available so the skill can run `npx -y @orcadub/cli`
# (or put a prebuilt `orcadub` binary on PATH), and export your API key:
export ORCADUB_API_KEY=sk-orca-...

You'll need an OrcaRouter API key (sk-orca-...) — create one at the OrcaRouter console (token management page). Export it as ORCADUB_API_KEY so the CLI can authenticate; dubbing jobs are billed per minute of source video.

Use

Just ask:

Dub this into Japanese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…

The dub-video skill drives the whole flow — it confirms the required details (source/target language, the source file or URL, a title), submits the job, polls until it's done, then asks whether to save the MP4 locally.

Dubbing options

create requires --source-lang, --target-lang, a source (--file-id from upload or a remote --url), and --video-name (with --file-id). The optional toggles map to the labels on the OrcaDub site and are passed as repeatable --opt <param>=true flags:

Site label	Parameter	Site label	Parameter
Keep background audio	--opt preserve_bgm=true	Loudness matching	--opt loudness_enabled=true
Overlay watermark	--opt watermark=true	Translate songs	--opt song_translation=true
Remove watermark / subtitles (paid)	--opt remove_watermark=true

See skills/dub-video/SKILL.md for details.

What's inside

Component	What it does
CLI @orcadub/cli	5 subcommands: health, upload, create, get, download
Skill dub-video	Teaches the agent when to dub and how to run the upload → create → poll → download flow (asks before billing, confirms before downloading)

CLI / binary details

Prebuilt binaries, Docker usage and the full subcommand reference live in the orcadub-mcp-server repository. The same binary also runs as an MCP server when invoked with no subcommand, for hosts that prefer a resident MCP connection instead of the one-shot CLI.
