venice-video-harness: Command for Claude Code

.agents/commands/set-aesthetic.md

set-aesthetic is a command for Claude Code from jordanurbs/venice-video-harness. It costs 0 tokens per session (949 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates several visual style samples for a screenplay and lets you choose one. The aesthetic is the project’s visual direction, including its palette, lighting, lens, and film look.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare possible looks for a project or to set a specified style, palette, lighting, lens, and film treatment.
Why use it?
It makes style selection easier when describing a look in words is difficult, and helps keep later images visually consistent.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code command (commands/*.md). Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is jordanurbs/venice-video-harness's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on venice-video-harness itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything venice-video-harness configures →

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

set-aesthetic 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/set-aesthetic

Auto-generate aesthetic comparison samples and let the user pick a visual style.

Behavior

Do NOT ask the user to describe a style verbally. Instead, generate visual samples and let them react to images.

If the user specifies a style (e.g., "set a noir look"):

Run the CLI directly:

npx tsx src/cli.ts set-aesthetic --project "$project_dir" --style "$style" --palette "$palette" --lighting "$lighting" --lens "$lens" --film "$film"

If the user says "set aesthetic" without specifying a style:

  1. Read the ingested project data to understand the screenplay's tone, setting, and genre
  2. Design 5-7 diverse aesthetic options that fit the material
  3. Write a temporary Node.js (.mjs) script that:
    • Reads the Venice API key from .env manually (no dotenv import -- parse the file directly)
    • Calls POST https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/image/generate for each aesthetic
    • Uses model nano-banana-pro, resolution 1280x720 (16:9), steps: 30, cfg_scale: 7
    • Uses a representative scene description from the screenplay as the base prompt
    • Appends aesthetic-specific style directives to each prompt
    • Runs 2 requests at a time with 500ms delay between batches
    • Extracts the image from response.images[0] (raw base64 string, NOT .b64_json)
    • Saves PNGs to output/<project>/aesthetic-samples/<name>.png
    • Generates compare.html for side-by-side viewing
  4. Run the script with node
  5. Show each generated image to the user inline using the Read tool
  6. Describe each aesthetic in a few words
  7. Let the user pick one, request hybrids/tweaks, or ask for more options
  8. Once chosen, run set-aesthetic CLI with the selected parameters

Aesthetic Template Ideas

Adapt these to the screenplay's genre/setting:

  • Neo-Noir Cyberpunk: Neon-lit, rain-slicked, deep blues/purples/pinks, volumetric fog, 35mm Kodak Vision3 500T
  • Clean Dystopia: Sterile white corridors, clinical grays, flat fluorescent, symmetrical, Arri Alexa digital
  • Retro-Futurism (Moebius): Bold linework, painted color, teals/oranges, ink and watercolor texture
  • Gritty Anime Realism: Ghost in the Shell / Akira inspired, muted greens, industrial, cel-shaded hybrid
  • Analog Sci-Fi 70s: Alien / THX 1138 aesthetic, chunky hardware, amber CRT glow, 16mm Ektachrome
  • SNES Pixel Art: 16-32 bit pixel art, limited palette, dithering, isometric RPG perspective
  • Wes Anderson Symmetry: Pastel palette, centered framing, dollhouse aesthetic, Futura typography
  • Soviet Brutalism: Concrete textures, propaganda poster palette, stark shadows, 35mm Svema film

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.
