What is video-frames?

A video utility that extracts still images from a video using ffmpeg, a command-line tool for processing audio and video. It can sample a time range, choose a frame rate, save to a chosen directory, or compare two videos side by side.

Use it to inspect recordings of user interfaces, review selected moments, sample fast animations more closely, or compare before-and-after videos.

It turns hard-to-inspect video behaviour into individual frames that can be reviewed for visual problems. This helps investigate layout shifts, animation glitches, flickering, and crash moments.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00720
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00288
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00144

Security

Grade A, and why

video-frames scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Video Frame Extractor

Extract frames from a video using ffmpeg for visual analysis of UI issues like layout shifts, animation glitches, flickering, or crash moments.

Usage

/video-frames <video_path> [options]

Arguments

video_path: Path to the video file (required)
Options (parsed from natural language in $ARGUMENTS):
- Second video path → enables side-by-side comparison
- from Xs to Ys or Xs-Ys → time range
- Nfps → custom frame rate
- save to /path → custom output directory

Examples

# Basic extraction
/video-frames /tmp/recording.mp4

# With time range
/video-frames /tmp/recording.mp4 from 2s to 5s

# Higher FPS for fast animations
/video-frames /tmp/recording.mp4 15fps

# Compare two videos side by side
/video-frames /tmp/before.mp4 /tmp/after.mp4

# Combined flags
/video-frames /tmp/recording.mp4 from 1s to 3s 10fps

What This Command Does

Parses arguments from $ARGUMENTS
Invokes the video-frame-extractor skill
Extracts frames into a temp directory with timestamp-based names
Reports the output path and frame count so you can start reading the frames

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Extract from $ARGUMENTS:

First path found → primary video
Second path found (if any) → comparison video (enables side-by-side mode)
Pattern from Xs to Ys or Xs-Ys → start and end times
Pattern Nfps → frames per second override
Pattern save to <path> → custom output directory

Step 2: Invoke Skill

Use the video-frame-extractor skill. Follow its instructions to:

Validate the video exists with ls
Probe the video with ffprobe to get duration and resolution
Decide FPS based on duration (or use user override)
Extract frames with ffmpeg
Rename frames with timestamps (sec_0.00s.png, sec_0.20s.png, etc.)
If comparison mode: extract both videos and create hstacked composites

Step 3: Report Output

Print the output directory and frame count:

Frames extracted to: /tmp/tmp.XXXXXX/frames/
Total frames: 25
Duration: 5.0s at 5fps

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.
