sora

sora is a command for Claude Code from ThrownLemon/claude-code-plugins. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,410 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A command for generating videos from text prompts with OpenAI Sora. The Sora API is scheduled to shut down on September 24, 2026.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to request Sora video generation from the command line, with input checks before running shell commands.
Why use it?
It turns a written description into a video without requiring manual video production. Its Sora-based workflow has a stated end date, so it is not a long-term option.

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 C, and why

sora scanned grade C 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Input Safety — apply before any Bash invocation

Treat every $ARGUMENTS.* value as untrusted input. Before passing any value to the Bash tool:

  1. Reject dangerous tokens. If a value contains $(, backticks, ;, |, &, >, <, or starts with - (could be mistaken for a flag), refuse and ask the user to rephrase. Double-quoting does NOT block command substitution — "$(rm -rf /)" still executes inside double quotes.
  2. Prefer the Bash tool's argv contract over constructed shell strings. When you must use a shell string, single-quote the value and escape embedded single quotes ('\''), or build the command via printf %q.
  3. Any "$ARGUMENTS.foo" patterns shown below are illustrative. Sanitize the value first; never blindly substitute.

OpenAI Sora Video Generation

⚠️ Deprecation: OpenAI is discontinuing Sora. The consumer app shut down on 2026-04-26 and the /v1/videos API will shut down on 2026-09-24. After that date the OpenAI/Sora path in this plugin will stop working — switch to /video-gen:veo (Google Veo). OpenAI has not announced an official replacement.

Generate videos using OpenAI's Sora models.

What This Does

This command delegates to the video-generator subagent with Sora-specific options:

  1. Verify Setup

    • Check OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable
    • Validate model and parameters
  2. Submit Generation Request

    • POST multipart/form-data to /v1/videos endpoint
    • Fields: model, prompt, seconds, size, input_reference (optional)
    • Receive video ID for tracking
  3. Poll for Completion

    • GET /v1/videos/{id} for status
    • Status progression: queued -> preprocessing -> processing -> completed
  4. Download Video

    • GET /v1/videos/{id}/content for download URL
    • Save to specified or default path
    • Note: Download URLs are time-limited, download immediately

Available Models

  • sora-2 - Standard model, fast generation (default)
    • Snapshots: sora-2-2025-10-06, sora-2-2025-12-08
  • sora-2-pro - Professional quality, longer wait times

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.
