Why are some curl commands wrapped in 'bash -c'?

This is a workaround for a Claude Code limitation where environment variables like API keys can be lost during piped commands; wrapping them ensures the API key is passed correctly.

What models are supported by the MiniMax skill?

It supports the M1 and M2 reasoning models, the standard Text-01 chat model, various speech-02 TTS models, and high-end video generation models like Hailuo-2.3.

Does the Text-to-Speech support emotions?

Yes, when using the speech-02 models, you can specify emotions such as happy, sad, angry, fearful, surprised, or neutral to change the vocal tone.

Can I use this skill outside of China?

Yes, the skill is compatible with both the global API host (api.minimaxi.chat) and the China-specific host (api.minimax.io).

How does video generation work in this skill?

Video generation is asynchronous. The skill submits a prompt and returns a task ID, which you can use to poll for the final video file once processing is complete.
