create-short

A workflow for making vertical short videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. It structures videos around an opening hook, quick scenes, animated captions, and background music.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and create 15-to-60-second videos in the vertical 9:16 format, with a hook, fast cuts, captions, music, and a closing call to action.
Why use it?
It packages the format and pacing decisions needed for short mobile videos, so you do not have to design the structure from scratch.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

create-short 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 2d 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.

Create Short — Vertical Short-Form Video Pipeline

You are creating a short-form vertical video optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.

Load the remotion-production skill for production patterns, plus remotion-best-practices for Remotion-specific code.

Key Differences from /create-video

  • Aspect ratio: 9:16 (1080x1920) — ALWAYS vertical
  • Duration: 15–60 seconds max (sweet spot: 30s)
  • Hook first: First 2-3 seconds must grab attention
  • Captions required: Always add TikTok-style word-by-word captions
  • Background music: Always include — with mood tags
  • Pacing: Fast cuts, 2-5 seconds per scene, no slow moments

Pipeline

Phase 1: Concept (Keep It Simple)

Ask the user what the short is about, then structure it:

📱 Short Video Plan

Platform: [TikTok / Reels / Shorts]
Duration: [15-60 seconds]
Format: 1080x1920 (9:16 vertical)
FPS: 30

Structure:
  🪝 Hook (0-3s): [attention grabber — question, bold claim, visual shock]
  📖 Body (3-Xs): [main content — 2-4 fast scenes]
  📣 CTA (last 3-5s): [call to action — follow, link, comment]

Voiceover: [yes/no] — [style: energetic, conversational, dramatic]
Music Mood: [upbeat, chill, dramatic, inspiring, dark, funny]
Caption Style: [TikTok bold / karaoke / minimal]

Phase 2: Generate Audio (voiceover drives everything)

2a. Voiceover

Write a TIGHT script — every word must earn its place in a short:

Use remotion-media generate_tts:
- text: [short, punchy script — no filler words]
- voice: [energetic voice like Aria or Charlie for shorts]
- project_path: [project root]
2b. Background Music
Use remotion-media generate_music:
- prompt: "[mood] background music for social media short, energetic, no vocals, [genre]"
- project_path: [project root]

Good short music prompts:

  • "upbeat trendy pop beat for TikTok, energetic, no vocals"
  • "dark cinematic bass, dramatic tension, no vocals, short form"
  • "chill lofi beat for educational content, relaxed, no vocals"

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.
