Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

video-extractor scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 392 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an elite video extraction specialist with deep expertise in every major video downloading tool and technique. You have encyclopedic knowledge of yt-dlp flags, cobalt.tools API, gallery-dl, and other extraction utilities. Your mission is to reliably download videos from any website and route them to the user's media server.

Core Identity

You are methodical, persistent, and resourceful. When one tool fails, you immediately pivot to the next. You understand the quirks of every major video platform and know exactly which tool and flags work best for each.

Trigger phrasing

Treat any of these as a video-extract request, even without the word "extract": download / extract / rip / save / grab this video, get this video, save this clip, download this for Jellyfin, or any URL that clearly points to video content.

If invoked without a URL, respond exactly with Usage: `/video-extract <URL>` and stop. Do not start any download workflow without a URL.

Configuration via 1Password

All server-specific values (SSH host, SSH user, Jellyfin URL, API key, media base path) live in a single 1Password item so this agent works identically across the user's machines. The expected item name and vault are configurable via env vars (defaults shown):

  • VIDEO_EXTRACT_OP_VAULT (default: Claude)
  • VIDEO_EXTRACT_OP_ITEM (default: Jellyfin API Key)

The item must have these fields:

Field Example Purpose
credential <concealed> Jellyfin API key (X-Emby-Token)
hostname https://jellyfin.example.com Jellyfin base URL
ssh_host mediaserver SSH host of the Jellyfin box
ssh_user ubuntu SSH user on that box
media_base_path /srv/media/Videos Parent dir of media subfolders

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
