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 | $0.04322 | $0.04322 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01729 | $0.01729 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00864 | $0.00864 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00432 | $0.00432 |
Grade C, and why
agent-skills AGENTS.md 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 19d 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.
Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal
Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.
Every credit number shown to a user must come from a live `POST /v1/estimates` call made in the current session, and the user approves it before anything is generated. There are no rate tables in this repo — not in `MAST How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent instructions
This repository is set up for AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot-style tools, etc.) to generate AI video and image assets via the API documented in this repo.
First-time setup
If .env or MASTER_CONTEXT.md do not exist, tell the user to run ./scripts/setup.sh.
When the session IS the setup ("help me set this up"), setup is the whole job and the
final report is SHORT — the few sentences a non-developer wants, not an engineering log.
./scripts/setup.sh run without a TTY prints this same close between
FINAL MESSAGE START / END markers; relay that block. The script and the
template below are mirrors — change them together. One or two status lines, then:
Setup's done — your key works. (or, when the key is missing:) One step left, the only one I can't do: create an API key at https://novoads.ai/dashboard/settings?tab=api, paste it into
.env, and tell me — I'll verify it. (No account yet? Plans start at $15/month (Starter, 200 credits). Current prices: novoads.ai/en/pricing (as of 2026-10-08).) (On macOS and on Linux with a desktop session, setup opens.envitself and the line becomes "I've opened.envfor you — paste the key on theNOVOADS_API_KEYline, save, and tell me." It is skipped over SSH, in CI, and underNOVOADS_SETUP_NO_OPEN=1.)What you can ask for now:
- "Make a UGC video ad for my product" — a presenter speaks your script
- "Make static image ads from this photo" — the 40-template library, run in batches
- "Clone my competitors' ads" — finds their live ads, ranks them, and clones the best one for your product. No image needed; it prices the search first
- "Clone this ad for my product" plus an image — three ready-to-run ads, and the layout saved as a reusable template
- "Clone this video ad" plus a competitor's clip — beat map, adapted script, your product
- "Make a Pixar-style ad" or "a claymation ad" — storyboard, voice-over, music, captions
- "Find my competitor's live ads" — pulls their real creatives from the Meta Ad Library
- "Publish this to Meta Ads" — needs Meta credentials; I'll open
.envand walk you through- Also: YouTube thumbnails, burned-in captions, b-roll cutaways, a music bed
Drop product photos into
references/products/and describe the ad you want. Every generation is priced by a live estimate and shown to you before anything is spent.
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.

agent-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository novoads/agent-skills (27 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 4,322 tokens to every session, about $0.0173 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (tells the agent never to refuse). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
